Simple Sunday - Hinged Card

Today I had fun making a Baby Hinged Card.  The card actually "grew" as the sentiment suggested and it turned out really cute!  

For this card, I used Bermuda Bay, Early Espresso, Real Red, Basic White, Soft Seafoam, Bumble bee and Blushing Bride cardstock. I used Bermuda Bay color from our Brights Designer Series Paper (DSP) and I used patterned DSP from our Pattern Party DSP set, which incidentally, is only offered to you if you host a party with me!

I used our Layering Circle Dies, All for Baby Stamp Set, and the Baby Clothes Dies. I also used 7" of our Pool party Ribbon, and white brads from our White and Black Brads embellishments. I used Dimensionals to raise the bear and the sentiment.

I cut out all the Circles that I wanted and then cut the bear (early espresso), the inside of his ears (blushing bride), and heart (real red) from the Baby Clothes Dies set.  I hand cut out the inside of the bears paws (also blushing bride).  I drew his eyes, nose and mouth on.  I adhered my ribbon to the back of the smallest circle with glue dots.

Using the Baby Clothes Dies set, I also cut out the hanger and onesie.  The onesie was cut from our party patterned DSP, and the hanger was from our bumblebee cardstock--just a scrap piece that I had laying around. I did end up using some 2020-2022 In Colors Gems on the middle circle as well. I used the heart pattern from the Patterned Party DSP and I stamped my sentiment on Basic White cardstock.  The sentiment came from the All for Baby Stamp Set.

Once all my circles were in place I took my smallest and medium size circles, placing the medium one upside down, with the smallest circle on top.  At the bottom I pierced a small hole through both circles and inserted a white circle brad.  Next I turned my largest circle upside down and placed it under the medium sized circle.  At the bottom I pierced another small hole and inserted a white circled brad.

As you will see in the video, When you pull on the ribbon, they all unfold in such a way that the baby card has actually grown taller!  It was a lot of fun to make, and I think it turned out pretty cute!
