Hello everyone!! This is Berina here today, with a cute pink card for a cute baby girl!


For the card front, I decided to go with a shaker rattle in pink. I die cut a circle frame using 2 circle dies and made the shaker part. I die cut a tiny circle for the handle part. I added a tiny bow. I die cut a piece of white card stock with one of the dies from the Winnie & Walter Georgette die set. I adhered it on to an A2 piece of pink card stock. I adhered the rattle on to it and stamped the sentiment Congratulations from the Brutus Monroe - Sharon's Script stamp set. Now when you open the card:


It's a pop-up crib on the inside :) Here's how I made the pop-up crib part - I cut thin strips of Brutus Monroe - Brown Butter card stock in few different lengths. Here's the first one, which is for the horizontal piece.


Here's a bunch of small ones, which are for the vertical rods.


Here's 4 of a little longer ones, which are for the corner pieces. These are double the thickness and scored in the middle, lengthwise.


I started by adhering the corner pieces on to one of the horizontal piece, like this.


Then I adhered the vertical bars to the horizontal frame.


I adhered the other horizontal piece to all the vertical bars.


Here's a closer look at it.


I die cut pieces of patterned paper with the same border die from the Winnie & Walter - Georgette die set and adhered it on to the inside of the crib, to imitate the crib bedding. I adhered pieces of patterned paper on to the inside of the card, to imitate wall paper. I then adhered 2 sides of the crib on to the 2 sides of the inside of the card. To make the mobile, I die cut the flowers and butterflies using the dies from Karen Burniston - Accordion Die set on the Brutus Monroe - Watermelon glitter stock. I used a thread to hang them from the pop-up part at the top. I die cut a 'H' using the Whimsy Stamps - Alphabet dies, for the first letter of the baby's name.


Here's another look at the card front:

Hello everyone!! This is Berina here today, with a beautiful Birthday card with a lot of die cutting on my Craftwell Cut N Boss :)


For the card front, I blended the Brutus Monroe Auburgine ink over the Brutus Monroe Elegant Egg stencil. I then added a strip of purple card stock and Brutus Monroe - Sterling Glitter Stock to the left edge of the card base. Then I die cut some flowers from 2 shades of purple card stock using the flowers from Karen Burniston Flower - Pot Pop-up die set. I also die cut some leaves from Brutus Monroe Cabbage card stock using the die set. For the sentiment, I die cut the "Happy Birthday" from the dark purple card stock with the Brutus Monroe - Happy Birthday die and adhered it with glue. For the final touch, I added a butterfly which I die cut using the Crafter's Companion - Chic Butterfy die set on a purple card stock. 


Here's one more look at the card front before we look at the inside of the card.



I used the Karen Burniston - Flower Pot Pop-up die to make the inside of the card. I assembled them according to the instructions on the package. For the flower pot, I stenciled them with the same stencil and ink I used the card front (Brutus Monroe Elegant Egg stencil and Aubergine ink). I added some flowers and butterflies to the flower pot. To add a little more interest, I used a doily for the flower pot and added some flourishes which I die cut on purple card stock using the Karen Burniston - Charm Accordion Die set.
