Our daughter’s card was my design challenge this past week. I knew<\/strong><\/em> I had to use the buggy stamp set for the baby card. Grandma’s card came together pretty easily, although I did change it at the last. But I didn’t know at all what I was going to do for this one, except I wanted 2 things, a different fold to it and to\u00a0make it Victorian-y–I had new tea pot and birdcage with bird stamps I knew were “her”.<\/p>\n

\"Victorian<\/a><\/p>\n

I began with the double Z fold card foundation from a damask looking card stock (Old World collection from DCWV). (See scoring measurements at this post<\/a>.) Next I began looking through my printable downloads, and decided rather than just matting the sections of the card, to add some elements instead. The card on a card and tags just grew from there.<\/p>\n

\"Victorian<\/a><\/p>\n

The front has a card on the card, with a teapot (Michael’s–Timeless Traditions) and sentiment (Fiskars–Latte Love) stamped inside (and colored with my Copics). I also aged the paper with Antique Linen, (Tim Holtz Distress Ink). Pink ribbon and flat back pearls finish that part.<\/p>\n

\"Victorian<\/a><\/p>\n

In the first opening, I cut out the tags from\u00a0this printable<\/a>, from Astrid’s Artistic Efforts, Freebie page. I stamped the birdcage, birds (Stampabilities–Vintage Outdoor), and sentiment (Inkadinkado–Birthday Wishes), and colored with Copics, added the key (7 Gypsies,) ribbons, flower (Paper Studio), and gems.<\/p>\n

\"Victorian<\/a><\/p>\n

The next opening got 3 stamped and colored roses, a narrow side pocket (cut from printout) for 2 tags (also printouts), that I dressed up with some ribbon and pearls, then aged the backs with Vintage Photo Distress Ink, and signed.<\/p>\n

Here’s the whole card opened out.<\/p>\n

I loved working on this card, and probably could have continued dressing it up. But it was a card after all. \ud83d\ude42
