As soon as I saw the Photo Gallery set I knew I needed to make a card for my new granddaughter, I was even able to sneak in a few pieces from some of the other new sets as well, can you spot them.

All the fun is in the reveal, to see this card in action please check out my FACEBOOK page, feel free to join if you would like to share your own crafty creations. You can also see a video of this card on my INSTAGRAM page.

I’m not sure why but I am loving the square cards these days, so here we go… I cut the cardbase and panels as shown below, I cut the centers out of the pinks to conserve cardstock and lesson the bulk.

Layer the panels and add them to the cardbase as shown.

Using the dies from the Photo Gallery Pop Up, I cut out the frames from 2 shades of pink and cut out the centers from the patterned paper and assembled as shown below I added shading to the bottom right corners using alcohol markers. I added the frames to the panels from the same dieset (they are in Green)

I cut out the large letters using the Alphabet die set, and the little letters and the shadows from Mini Alphabet and Numbers. added shading with alcohol markers and highlights with a white gelly roll pen.

I used a few new diesets to decorate. The teddy bear is from the Love is in the air charms, the flowers and the stems are from the new Grass Stage Add On, the Love you is from the Love You Lorna Add On The bottle and onesy are from the Baby Charms. I assembled and added shading with alcohol markers and white highlights with a Gelly Roll Pen. (I was going to make the teddy bear a bit darker but decided to go a bit lighter.)

This greeting is one that I had in my stash, it was on velum so I added double sided adhesive to the back then added it onto the white cardstock then onto the layers of pink cardstock. Each layer is 1/4” larger than the previous. I decorated the greeting as shown. I diecut and assembled another photo frame to add a signature to. I attached the panels for “Baby” together and cut the triangle pieces to add them ,to the card.

I added the panels to the card as shown (Karen will have a video tutorial on the product page at the link fairly soon ⬆️ ) I added the other pieces to the card as shown.

The card is thick so it needed a little help staying closed. I didn’t really measure the white band but it is 1” wide and wraps around the card and it overlaps to be glue down with one end overlapping the other. I cut the pink layers as shown, one for the front and one for the back. I have a pretty green ribbon that I glued under one of the layers and wrapped around the band 3 times and then added a piece of cardstock to ensure the ribbon doesn’t come unglued. I made a small bow and attached it to the front of the band. I like to add a little dot of glue to the knot on the top of the bow to ensure that it doesn’t come undone.

I added the panel with the greeting to the front and added the little arrows that are part of the Photo Gallery Pop Up set. I added some itty bitty gems randomly around the card.
