Do you have a certain ‘go-to’ card style? I do, and typically it doesn’t involve making Baby Cards, so what did I do…
Well, I called for help of course 😉. And with your help, I made a Baby Shower card that was personalised with the theme of the shower. So join us as we make choices and create this card together in this LIVE video which you can see right HERE (Spoiler alert, I added something inside after… scroll to see)!
#BABYSHOWERCARD
The BEST thing about making greeting cards is being able to personalise them. This is easy to do, you can use someone’s favourite colour, add a name or do as I did here where I incorporated the ‘theme’ of the Baby Shower into the card. I kind of made it harder on myself though, as this is not my ‘go-to’ style but I do like the finished result and I can honestly say that is because of the help I had during the Live lol.
These woodland critters have a unique style and were easy to colour with Copics! The sentiment ‘Oh Baby’ was a hit and so was the Linear Pathway font in Brushed Gold. I stamped and die cut some leaves to add the greenery background.
BONUS IDEA: I think that some watercoloured leaves in the background would also look amazing!
AND here she is the lone hare, I know everyone was worried for her… but, she is special as she is truly jumping for joy on her sweet little DIY pop-up mechanism. Thank you yet again for the prompts and inspiration in the chat, I would never have thought to do this without you!!
I also came in and added a few golden pearls, thank you Lisa.
Now, I just need to work out how I will get out of blowing up 139 balloons for the party… I think I feel a headache coming on lol. But, I also do know that there will be ‘cake’ so the day is going to be a winner for sure!
Let me know in the comments below if you are going to challenge yourself to create a card that is not your ‘go-to’ style!

I love what you did with the hare Therese, so pleased you found it a home! What a nice sentiment as well. ðŸ‡ðŸ˜€
So glad you like the ‘finished’ version Louise and Yes to the pop up hare lol.
Ah ThereseÂ
Love the finished card. It has a bit of whimsy about it. Throughly enjoyed the live. The hare looks awesome on the inside. Glad it didn’t go to waste. I’m sure the mother to be will cherish it.
Oh ThereseÂ
The card turned out so well. Love the colours and those forest creatures add whimsy. So glad the hare found a home inside. I’m sure the mother to be will cherish it.
Cheers
LisaÂ
Thank you Lisa and THANK YOU for your guidance and help, you could tell I needed it lol. But I am so happy with how it turned out too!
Wow, how beautiful is this card?! Â Love it!! Â
So glad you like it Jodie, it’s a little different for me.
Love the addition of your pop up hare Therese! Gorgeous card! â¤ï¸
Thank you, it was inspired by the chat, I wouldn’t have thought of it til too late otherwise lol.
This card is adorable.Â
Thank you so much Sue x
I’m so happy that your darling hare found a home! Absolutely magical, my friend!
=]
hahaha I know right, it was suggested in the chat but I didn’t see it til after. Took me a hot minute to work out that the pop up was refering to the stress free summit cards, I am so slow in the mornings lol.
What a darling card, Therese! The sweet surprise inside is a fun element!
So happy you like it!
It is so interesting to hear your thought process and watch how you make decisions.
“We” usually only see the final product and don’t see the anguish involved. LOVE the pop-up hare inside!
I hope the Mum-to-be watches this video, because she will see how much she is loved.
ps– what storage pockets do you use for your stamps? Thanks!
Thank you so much for you lovely visit here today June. I use card pockets from Marbig the size is A5 (which is now feeling a little small for some of the Altenew sets) I like them because they are sturdy. https://amzn.to/3ZNuuJ3 This is my affiliate amazon link to the Marbig brand which will not work for you in the US but I just wanted to share the exact product so you knew which one I was talking about (Plus, I have usually found it cheaper than this).
But I did find a cheaper version from Amazon that are great even though they are not quite as thick https://amzn.to/3F9CM4o
Hope this is helpful, Crafty hugs and Happy World Card Making Day!!
This is adorable! Love the little woodland creatures. Did you get out of blowing up those balloons!?
