Baby Peapod Card

I saw a card like this and just had to make one of my own! I liked it so much I thought I would make a FREE template for you guys!

This is how I made it:

I cut out all of the template pieces in Old olive cardstock. You also need two 1" circles and two 1 1/4" circles. I stamped with the Bella Toile background stamp with Old Olive ink on all but two if the pieces like shown below. I left the top plain but inked the edges. Only one piece you do nothing to, that will be on the inside.


Put that one plain piece on the top of the pea pod.


With Blush blossom cut out a 1" circle and sponge the edges. I added a freehand cut bow for a baby girl.


Add the top and the leaf part with Tombow glue, just glue the very top so you can open it and see the baby inside. Add on all the peas. I highlighted them with the white gel pen and the old olive marker.


I stamped 'Small wonder' from the Whimsical Words (sale-a-bration) stamp set on whisper white, cut out with the large oval punch. Then old olive with the scallop oval punch. I used rich regal eyelets and twine to hold the tag on. I punched the holes with the crop-o-dile.

You are all finished!
