Wake up, everyone! It's Teapot Tuesday! This week it's all about pink and blue for two! Two what? Two babies....as in twins....a boy and a girl. We're making baby cards for Kokirose's grandbabies born earlier this month, Sydney and Austin.
Bring baby cards using both pink and blue and you get extra points for having two of something on your cards. And you get extra, extra points for throwing in a monkey on your card!
Well, I hardly have any baby stamps, let alone monkey stamps, but I did use:
1. pink and blue
2. two embossing folders
3. two hearts
4. two brads
5. two ribbons
6. on the inside two stamped baby images (see other upload for inside view)
I made this a gatefold card. I'm not real clear on how the overlapping sentiment panel is suppose to help keep your card closed because mine didn't. Therefore, I punched two holes in the sentiment panel and the blue panel to lightly tie it closed.
Congratulations to Kyle and Carlie on their newest additions to their little family!
Watch out teapotters. I saw Bertie earlier with a wagon load of baby bottles, and she filled them with m&ms!

This is a darling card - love the way you combined the pink and blue back and forth and the two textures of ef together. That's a great idea of how to keep the doors closed - and looks just like it was supposed to be there all along. I'll have to remeber it.

aww Charlene.. this is just too darn cute.. I love this adorable gate-fold card, the two different embossing folders, the sweet little little hearts - the two different panels look like t-shirts or onsies that have been folded to go in the drawer.. love it and so will my Kids/grand babies....
I'm gonna be on the lookout for those flying baby bottles full of M&M's = I want to catch one of those --- yummy candies...
Hugs.. Pat

Clever, Charlene! You didn't let the lack of baby stamps stop you, but of course you're waaaay smart! Love the pink and blue, can't wait to see the inside.

I bet I know what gets flung out of this baby card when it opens. What a mess. How nice that work doesn't interfere with your cardmaking anymore. super cute job on this.
