New Arrival Baby Card - Robin's Nest

Dew Drops are my favorite product by The Robin's Nest. I can use them to embellish every project, card, or layout that I make. Here I have transformed Round Dew Drops into spectacular glittering bubbles for my new arrival card featuring a baby in the bathtub. Watch my video below to learn how easily I achieved this beautiful affect.

    The Robin's Nest Supplies

• Boy Dot/Stripe Cardstock
• Round Dew Drops
• Dew Dew Glue 

Other Supplies: Bundle of Joy clear stamp set (Echo Park - Hampton Art), Diamond Stickles Glitter Glue (Ranger), Baby Bathtub Die Cut (Sizzix), white gel pen (Sakura), chalk (Inkadinkado), VersaMark Ink (Tsukineko), 2.5" circle punch (Marvy Uchida), 3" scallop circle punch (Marvy Uchida), clear mounting block, white & blue card stock, 6x6" card base

Directions:

1. Background - Stamp a small design onto the spotty pattern paper using VersaMark Ink. Using a cotton ball lightly apply chalk over the image. Pat gently...don't rub.  Stamp additional images onto white card stock, color, and punch. Attach the decorated card stock to the card base.  Lastly, use a white gel pen to add faux stitching details around the edge of the card base.

2. Main Image - Die cut the baby in the bathtub onto white cardstock. Use chalk to color it using a cotton swab.  Use a paper punch to cut a 2.5" circle & 3" scallop edge circle.  Adhere the baby to the center of the circular mattes using foam tape. Add the duck embellishments and use a white gel pen to add faux stitching details around the edge of the circular matte.

3.  Dew Drops - Select blue, white, & clear Dew Drops in a variety of sizes.  Press each Dew Drop into a piece of re-positionable putty so they will be temporarily secure.  Apply Stickles Glitter Glue onto each Dew Drop and set aside to dry. When they are dry, gently peel them from the putty and adhere them to the card.

 

 A Closer Look:

 

Look at those pink cheeks!

          

        

 Add dimension by shading with grey chalk!

glittering bubbles!

  

faux stitching details!

Don't forget the finishing touch...a coordinating envelope.

I think you too will find Dew Drops are the perfect accent for any project.

Feminine Birthday Card - Robin's Nest

     
  

The Robins' Nest Shop

Directions:

1. Divide the front panel in half and use a ruler and pencil to lightly mark the center line. (parallel to the fold) Place the open card onto the scoring board and use a paper creasing tool to score the line. Place the edge of the ruler along the scored line to help the paper bend easier. Then place the card on a flat surface and firmly crease the card with a paper creasing tool.
                                         
                                        

2. Place the card into landscape position and attach double sided tape to the lower half section of the card. Adhere a piece of glitter cardstock to cover the entire front but only attach it to the lower half of the card front. The upper half of the pattern paper will not be attached to the card base so that the fold in the card base can act as a hinge and the card can stand up to be displayed like an easel. Lastly, turn over the card and trim away any excess overhanging paper.
                                        

3. To embellish the front of the card, fussy cut some flowers from Purple Flower Cardstock.  Adhere clear Dew Drops to the center of each flower.  Double matte a birthday greeting and make three candles. To make the candle flames, apply Yellow Glitter Glue to orange Tear Drops. Push the Tear Drops into clay to stabilize them while applying the glitter. When the glitter is dry, turn the Tear Drops over, push them back into the clay and draw the wick with a permanent black marker.

                                    

4. Select coordinating Purple Flower Cardstock to match the front of the card and adhere it to the inside of the card. TIP: If the pattern paper has a bold design, do not cover the entire inside of the card. Leave 2-3 inches at the top of the inside of the card uncovered so that you may easily write a message.

5. So that the card front has a place to rest against and stand as an easel card, attach brads to the inside of the card in a row 3-4 inches from the bottom edge of the card. When you are satisfied, mark the placement of the brads with a pencil and use a craft knife to make small slits for the brads. Finally, push the brads through the slits and secure them. For a neat finish, cover the back of the card with paper to hide the open legs of the brads. Embellish the inside of the card with a sentiment & arrows.
