Welcome to week thirty-nine of our Art With Heart 2023-24 Colour Creations blog hop!
Our colour this week is Petal Pink, a soft and slightly orangey pink from the subtles family.
As I needed to make a new baby girl card for a friend of mine, it was the perfect opportunity to use the FREE (with any purchase over $90) “Cradled with Love” Saleabration stamp set.
This is a pop-up fancy fold card called a Double Z card. Here is a metric template for this simple fancy fold.
After cutting, scoring and folding the card base I’ve added a DSP layer using this pretty spotted pink paper from a brand new online exclusives suite of products coming in March, called Flowering Zinnias.
The cradle, rug and elephant were all stamped in Memento black ink and coloured using Petal Pink and Crumb Cake stampin’ blends.
I’ve used the new Mini alphabet dies to personalise this card for sweet baby Essi.
Scalloped rectangle die layers create a place to write a message inside.
Or you could also add the largest Scalloped rectangle die to the back of the card too.
In the inside fold I’ve stamped a little message and added another elephant, stamped onto the DSP and fussy cut out.
A strip of DSP adhered to the back flap of the envelope is the final touch.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Andrea Sargent – I can’t wait to see what Andrea has made this week!

Completely adorable (as I’m sure Essi is!), Cath. That Petal Pink DSP is so pretty … looking forward to getting my hands on it. You have made a lovely baby card. I particularly love the little elephant sitting on the sentiment on the front of the card.
Such a sweet card for Essi – that’s the 2nd Essi I’ve heard of now! I like the way the cradle stands out on the z fold, like it is in a room.
Oh, how soft and pretty! You’ve used Petal Pink perfectly on your sweet baby card. What a beautiful name for the new bundle of joy.
A very sweet and cute card Cathy, the Petal Pink spot is perfect for a girly baby card. The tiny elephant is a beautiful element on your card.
