Hi, Janja here!
I have a lovely baby koala card, for you today. My card was made by using dies from the Baby release and the new Expressions plus release.
Supplies:
- CottageCutz dies: Baby Koala w/Blanket, Baby Diaper Pins, Baby Booties mini, Diaper mini, Sweet Phrase, Dream Phrase, Sweetheart Doilies, Tea Time Doily, Build-a-Bow, Stitched Wide Rectangle Frame Set, Stitched Wide Circle Drame Set, Circle Set
- white card base: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm), folded
- yellow cardstock: 5 x 5" (12,7 x 12,7 cm) and 4.76 x 1.57" (12,1 x 4 cm)
- patterned paper: 4.76 x 4.76" (12,1 x 12,1 cm)
- white and colored cardstock
- glue, double-sided adhesive tape, white fun foam
Koala's coat is in shades of ashen-gray, sometimes also in red-brown color. I gave it a brown color, combined with yellow background.
Cut out all the elements of baby koala and assemble them into a whole.
Find a patterned paper that you like, and choose a coordinating color of cardstock. Trim them to the appropriate size.
For the remaining elements use a white cardstock.

To keep the small hearts in openings, attach the self-adhesive foil on the backside. Glue both round cutouts, and add a circle from fun foam. If you prefer use self-adhesive foam tape.
Now it's time to assemble the card.
Mount all the elements as shown on white card base. Use glue and self-adhesive foam pads.
For special occasions such as birth, it is nice to see a card that has also decorated the interior.
I added the small letter S at the end. I cut it out from the thanks phrase.
Attach a bow when the card is completed.

Have a lovely day!

ReplyDeleteJanja, All I can say is awww! Your koala is so very sweet. I love that your card inside is as nice as the outside. - Janet
ReplyDeleteHi Janja, A question - How did you create the flat card stock ribbon on the front of the card? Thx!
ReplyDeleteHow cute is this! I love the doily behind your sweet koala. And using the "s" from the "thanks" die to add to "dream" was a stroke of genius!
ReplyDeleteJanet, thank you.
ReplyDeleteThe ribbon is cut out from white card stock with the largest die from stitched wide rectangle frame set.
Janja, this is such a gorgeous card featuring the Koala. The little Koala is colored so beautifully and really stands out. The card's inside is gorgeous also. What a clever idea to use the "s" from the sweet script to extend the "dream" die cut! Awesome work, my friend!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch beauties!! Perfect colouring for the bear. I loved both the cards.
ReplyDeletethis is so cute Janja-love the creative way you added the "s" to the dream phrase-and using the stitched rectangle die to cut just a single strip-you always think out of the box -love it!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness how adorable! I love your color combo and the sweet inside of the card! Absolutely darling!
ReplyDeletethat is adorable!
