Baby carriage card template

When you use the nestabilities to cut out something thick like these two layers for the card base, it often leaves a slight embossed center even if you didn't emboss it.

I use this slight embossing as a guide to center my patterned paper. Next, cut out 4 cardstock circles using your second smallest Nestability circle die and two patterned paper circles using your smallest die. Center one of your patterned paper circles over a cardstock circle and pierce a hole in the center. I didn't use any adhesive since you will be holding it on with a brad. Keep your wheel on your paper piercing tool and decide where you want to place it on the front of the card.

I generally place it just on the edge of the patterned paper circle. Pierce the hole and attach the wheel with a brad. Repeat to add the second wheel. Flip your baby carriage over. Now, you can see the front wheels and will be able to line up the back wheels. Add adhesive and the back wheels. We need the four wheels so that you can stand your card up. Now, cut out a tag using the cuttlebug die and a piece of cardstock.

I was able to cut a tag out from the edge of my scraps that were left over when I cut out my card base. Now, stamp your sentiment on your tag I used Water Lily Green Palette ink and adhere it to your card base with a brad. I used the Blessed new baby sentiment from the Just Hatched stamp set. I decided my patterned paper needed a little more pop.

So I added tiny little dots to the centers of my images using Water Lily Green palette ink and my embossing tool. This is a great way to add tiny little dots.

Just tap your embossing tool on the ink pad, "stamp" it in the center, and reink. And here is my finished baby carriage card. I would LOVE to see your cards. If you make one, please post a comment so I can check it out! Posted by Niki Estes at Wednesday, February 27, Labels: Cards , Papertrey stamps , Tutorials. I think you explained it clearly! And I'm crying because I can't pull my stuff out and make one. Thanks for all your hard work.

I'll be working on this one when I get moved. Very, very adorable! I love that! Thanks for sharing! Oh so cute! I have several friends having babies soon so I will have to make this card for them! Thanks fo the tutorial! I definitely want to make one of these now!

I just came over to your site to look for a picture of this card so I could case it and here you are providing a tutorial! I am so lucky. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! That's what I was able to create using your tutorial. I don't have all the tools you used so it was a bit harder to make. I'm also a beginner, so my stuff miss that professional look. I hope I'll get better soon.

This is just so cute. Thank you so much for sharing the awesome tutorial with all of us. Great job on that too hun and the card is stunning work as well. Post a Comment. This is unbelieveably cute! You did a wicked awesome job on this! Thank you so much for that tutorial! I had to try those cute carriage already!!

Awesome tutorial.. Can't wait to make one.. I love the colors too Thanks so much!! Just a few different coil shapes are needed to make the carriage Rather than give you exact strip measurements, it's easiest to work with quarter, half, and full-length strips as each person's rolling tension is a bit different.

This takes away the stress of precise measurements and you can adjust the size of a coil as needed by snipping off extra length once it's rolled. Beginners generally prefer to use a slotted quilling tool this is my favorite slotted tool ; this Savvy Slotted Tool is a good substitute, and this set of quilling tools is nice because it includes an embossing tool, plus it's pretty :.

Use a half-length strip to make a modified triangle for the carriage bonnet by sharply pinching two of the coil points, leaving one rounded for the curved bonnet top. For the carriage basket, use a full-length strip to make a modified rectangle, shaping the coil so that it has three sharp corners and one rounded corner. Make two tight coil wheels. Begin by rolling a quarter-length white strip with a torn end, then glue on the torn end of a full-length pink strip when the white coil is the right size for the hubcap and continue rolling.

When the wheel is the size you want, glue the strip end and slide it off the quilling tool. Use a glass head pin to dome the hubcap, then place a tiny bit of glue inside the curve to hold its shape. Assemble the carriage components, adding a slim handle and scalloped trim cut from card stock.

I used these Paper Edgers scallop scissors. Refer to the photo for the finishing touches. I used double-sided tape to adhere a rectangle of gingham background paper with scallop cut corners to a white card blank, then added two overlapping hexagons onto which I glued the carriage. The sides of the gingham rectangle are accented with narrow strips of light green card stock and pink vellum.

I printed A New Baby tag and cut it out with my portable paper trimmer to fit on a rectangle of pink card stock with scalloped corners. The tag was adhered with dimensional glue dots to lift it off the card surface. Here's my favorite video tutorial for making an envelope For the baby gift, I ordered a custom foil transfer mat from ShineGoodsCo.

I'd gotten to know the owner, Megan Lafrenz, when I introduced her new shop in this post. It's wrapped in watercolor rainbow gift wrap with a strip of sakura blossom washi tape to hold the envelope in place. I found the birch wood frame after going to umpteen stores It must be another pandemic supply chain issue.
