Spellbinders Baby Step Block Card Tutorial

 Hello friends, welcome and thank you for stopping by.  I am sharing a tutorial for Spellbinders using the Baby Step Block Card Die by Marisa Job.  I am so delighted how it all came together so easily.  Baby cards seem to be one of the cards that people keep - they are a gift in themselves and are often a keepsake that becomes a treasure.  We are at that stage in life that it is our kids friends having the babies, or our friends kids - either way it is wonderful and a great reason to make cards.  I am very excited about sharing this tutorial with you.

1. Cut two Step Card Bases using thick patterned paper.

2. Adhere the back and front together using double sided tape, start by overlapping the two base pieces.

3. Fold each step on the score line, overlapping and securing with strong tape - this forms the card base.

4. Cut/emboss nine (9) Squares using co-ordinating paper.

5. Adhere one to each of the six (6) squares on the card front and on each of the three (3)steps.

6. Cut one each of the duckie, 'all in one' suit and 'GIRL' using cream card stock

7. Use the pink negative die from the Layered Bundle of Joy Etched Dies Elegant 3D Vignettes footprints and cut using second smallest die from the Standard Circles Small.

8. Cut one yellow circle using the third die from the Standard Circles Small,followed by one white circle using the fourth smallest die.

9. Layer the die cuts, gluing together.

10. Colour the embellishments as desired and pop up the embellishments onto each block using 3D Foam Squares.

11. Glue extra flowers and butterflies as desired.

12. Add embellishments to each step, popping them up with 3D Foam Squares for dimension.

NOTE: This card folds flat for mailing.
