Chattering Robins: Welcome Wee Ones!

So Many Babies...So Few Cards!

by Ro

I know so many new little people being introduced into the world these past few months. It's amazing! One of them I get to call my granddaughter! So with all these babies, my card stash is severely lacking and it's time to replenish. And I always say it's just as easy to make 2 or 3 (or 4!) cards as it is to make one. So I made two cards ready to be personalized for some new parents, and I'm happy to share them with you today!

While these cards look complicated, they really aren't. I was able to put them together in a snap. I used a cut file from Silhouette America for mine, but if you don't have a machine to do that, it's super simple to do by hand too. There is a great tutorial for a side step card on Splitcoast Stampers (here) which could very easily be adapted to this card.

For my cards, I first loaded the cutting file, which looked like this.

I cut out my pieces and began the assembly process.

Fold on score lines and attach the dresser base. I used Special Delivery Girl and Blue Daisy Stripe.
Attach drawers and mat layer for t-shirt (if used). For these I used some solid scrap papers that coordinated with the cardstock for the boy card, and the reverse side of Special Delivery for the girl card.
Attach t-shirt and embellish if desired. These were also cut from scrap cardstock.
Glue on Dew Drops for drawer knobs (so cute!!!)

And that's it! The wonderful thing about these papers is that they are two-sided, so the inside of your card is basically finished and ready for your sentiment or greeting. Here are a few close-ups so you can see the cute detail!
