Total Time: 30 minutes, including drying time

Yield: one card

Supplies:

pattern sheet
1 piece 10 x 6 inch pink marbled cardstock
1 piece 4.3 x 5.3 inch pink floral cardstock
3 leftover pieces of cardstock for the cube
small piece of dark pink felt for the bear
small piece of yellow felt for the duck
leftover piece of dark pink crocheted lace
small piece of 0.2 inch wide pink satin ribbon
pink alphabet stickers
3 7mm wide wiggle eyes
2 10mm wide pink buttons
1 sticker with pink baby feet
2 3D self-adhesive foam squares
silver 2 inch long safety pin
pink glitter glue
black and orange felt tip pens
ruler
pencil
standard scissors
quick-drying craft glue (such as Bostik Clear)

Steps:

Score the pink marbled cardstock to create a card sized 5 x 6 inches.
With the fold at the left, centre and glue the pink floral cardstock to the front of the card.

Trace and cut the cube from three different cardstocks and glue the cube to the front of the card.
Add an alphabet sticker to the front of the cube.
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.

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

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

Glue the duck and bear in place.
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.
