Here is another multi open card invite .. this time its for a baby announcement .. sorry I do not have the measurements handy right at this moment ( to early I suppose ) But it is very similar to my BBQ CARD I did a few days ago with just an extra panel to open & with 1 slight change the back base card is the size of a post card NOT a full size card like the BBQ one . As you can tell by the following photos .. Once I get the measurements I will come back and make a addition to this post .. Okey Dokey ..
MEASUREMENTS: starting from back of card and moving forward :
Rose red ~ 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 ( post card size )
Sage shadow ~ 4" X 5 1/4
Going Gray 3 1/2 ( score @1/4) X 3 3/4
Rose red 3 3/4 ( score @1/4 ") X 3 1/4
the scored sides are where you will apply your sticky strip and wrap behind sage shadow layer
Here is what the 1st panel looks like when opened and
then with the final panel opened to reveal the announcement of the little bundle of Joy I used Sage shadow and rose red & Going Gray for the colored CS with also whisper white .Sticky strip was used to hold the beads on the front panel of the card . and Narrow organdy white ribbon along with silver cord.. such a fun card to make ..
About 3 weeks ago I had sent hubby his lap top computer to him with a LOT of other goodies snacks, flip flops , blanket , a bunch of new light colored shirts from Steve and Barry’s anyway I had also put in there those 12 I LOVE MY HONEY SHADOW BOX CARDS with 12 envelopes and well he finally got his package this past Saturday YAHOO!
I was really worried about sending the computer and not only that, But the package weighted in at 36 lbs ( Holy Cow HUH? ) anywho .. As soon as he got the package & my 12 cards I sent him he started handling the cards out .. Everyone looked really weird at him and was waiting for the catch .. Like > What he wanted in return for the card and Rich told them It was FREE and there was NO catch .. Rich went on to tell me that all of guys over there do things for someone in return for something ..( is this not how the world Thinks even in the USA .. ya know Nothing is for FREE right? EXCEPT FOR the cards for the troops !! )
well he had all 12 cards gone in a FEW MINUTES his Foreman/ Operation Glitter Drop Manager ( Hee! Hee! ) told Rich that the card was the coolest thing he had ever seen in his whole life .. YAHOO! So needless to say Rich is sooo excited to get all the cards you have sent for him to hand out to everyone for FREE.. Making him of course the most wanted man over there all thanks to YOU!! WOW what a testimony he will be to everyone over there HUH? .. I am sure we will be hearing tons of stories from over there once he gets the cards and starts handing them out .. I am sooo excited Not only for my Hubby to be able to pass all your beautiful cards out , But also for our troops and all their family members to receive such a awesome card in the mail from thier loved ones over in Iraq .. All because of YOU Stampin Angels !
Have a Fabulous Monday everyone and I will catch you all tomorrow.
May 2nd is only 2 days away YAHOO!
Until later .. Happy Stampin!!












Dawn, I love your card…it is darling and I am so glad to be participating in Operation Glitter drop. I know the deadline is the 1st but I believe you said you will continue to accept cards to send so I will be sending more. Again thanks for the opportunity.
Very cute card, Dawn! I know that when Todd would get my boxes in Iraq his guys would stand around him arguing about who got to pick from the cards first. It is such a morale booster for everyone to get to send something really cool home to their families! I’m glad he is finally getting his mail. I remember I got mail from Todd about 3 weeks prior to even getting an address…then it took two more weeks for him to actually receive anything I sent. Very frustrating! Glad that is over for you! Hugs and smiles girlie!
Dawn, this baby card is excellent! Love the colors, the composion, the folds–love it altogether!
Dawn I love this fold! I’m am going to try one of these thanks so much for being such an inspiration!
Love this card!!! I don’t suppose you will be doing a tutorial on this card anytime soon? Please!!!!!
I think you should have Rich tell them there is a catch…they must send the cards to their loved ones back home!!!
Awesome card, especially since I got to see it live in person in my hot little hands at your fe fi faux class!
I like the non-traditional colors on this card! Thanks for sharing the measurements! Jeanne
