3. Trace and cut the cube from three different cardstocks and glue the cube to the front of the card.
4. Add an alphabet sticker to the front of the cube.
5. Trace the outline of the cube with the glitter glue and allow to dry thoroughly. Tip: Use a hairdryer to dry the glue quicker, but use the coldest setting of the hairdryer.

 
6. Glue a piece of pink lace to the top of the card and use stickers to spell the word "baby."

 
7. Trace and cut the bear from the pink felt and the duck from the yellow felt.

8. Glue the duck and bear in place.
9. Add a wiggle eye to the duck and two wiggle eyes to the bear. Use the felt-tip pens to color the duck's beak and to add the bear's nose.

 
10. Add the safety pin and buttons.
11. Make a small bow with the ribbon and glue it in place.
12. Use the 3D self-adhesive foam squares to affix the sticker.
