Z-Fold, Baby Crib Tutorial for a Fancy Fold Card Class

Hi there. Welcome to my blog, a place to share my love of paper crafting using the beautiful range of Stampin’ Up! ® Products.

Recently, I posted this card in a SU Demonstrator Facebook Group and got lots of requests for the tutorial –

It’s the tenth in line for baby crib card designs. My tutorials evolve over time and the measurements change slightly depending on the stamps, dies and punches that I use in each example. As some of the stamps and ink in my ‘elephant’ card will be ‘retiring’ soon and I have used some retired DSP, I decided to make another card using current products (apart from the ribbon) and products that will be carrying over into the next annual catalogue, before writing the basic tutorial for this design.

Yes, the cute elephant from A Little Wild will be sticking around but I opted to use the teddy bear from Cookie Cutter Christmas instead –

The beautiful Stampin’ Up! ® colour, Mint Macaron, is making a comeback so I’ve teamed it with Very Vanilla for the latest baby card.  I’m quite sentimental towards a good ‘Mint Green‘ as it was the colour of our first baby pram some 28 plus years ago and my mum knitted a gorgeous pram blanket to match (which I still have as a keepsake). There are instructions in the tutorial to make a ‘wooden’ crib from the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper and a white one as well.

My stamp class ladies were shown five different baby crib cards for inspiration and were given a print out and PDF of the tutorial. A couple of ladies chose to make cards that were based on a tutorial that I will publish next week (I’m keeping that one under wraps until after I have participated in a Blog Hop scheduled for May 2nd).

Here are some of the cards from Tuesday night’s class that I can share with you –

They did an amazing job don’t you think?
