Colour Creations Blog Hop - 2024-2025 - Week 36 - Moody Mauve - Cutest Onsie Baby Pop Up Card

 

Welcome to week 36 of our Colour Creations Blog hop. 

I have been making a series of Baby Cards using the Cutest Onsies Bundle and I made them in September last year but I made them in 3 different colours so I could bring them to you over time with our Colour Creations Blog hop. One was Fresh Freesia, one Lemon Lolly and today Moody Mauve.



I created this card for our dear friend as her she was having her first baby and this was for the Baby Shower! By the time I made this card we had found out that she was having a baby girl! This card is an extension to a card I made last year which was called a Double Door Pop Up Card and you can find it here if you want to have a look at it. 

For this card I have used Moody Mauve as the base of the card and layered with Soft Sea Foam, Gold Foil and the DSP is Wildly Flowering. I have used the White Diagonal Trim to tie the card together as it needs a little help with all the extra pop up as you will see. 

There are a layer of Basic White cut out with the Spotlight on nature dies then another circle cut out with the spotlight on nature dies so I could adhere the White Bakers twine in between for a little clothes line. I have stamped and the Cutest Onsie on the Country Lace DSP and a piece of  Petal Pink Pink card before die cutting them out with the Cutest Onsie Dies. I then embossed one with the Eyelet Embossing folder! The sentiment is stamped in Moody Mauve and I have used a die from the Something Fancy Dies to cut out the sentiment. See those cute clouds they are from the Adventurous Sky dies!

Now let's open the card!

As you can see it open's up and then keeps going! Again I have layered the inside with the same as the front but the door I have used Nature's Sweetness SDSP and Meandering Meadows DSP as the background of the pop up doors. 
To decorate the inside of the card I have used the Petal Pink and  and Soft sea Foam. I have used the Alphabet Al A Mode dies and the Cutest onsie Dies. The for the hearts the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Dies and Embossing Folder.
On the other door I have the same colouring and added Girl!
In the center after I completed the card I added another piece of Basic White to write my message to the expectant Mum!


The card is lots of fun to open. As you can see from this angle!

So clever, and so pretty, Sharon! What a beautiful gift for the expectant Mumma; I am sure it will be treasured. I loved your description of having to use ribbon, as the card "needed a little help". LOL. The teensy clothesline is very cute, too!
