I had a white card base with three pre-punched holes on the right side of the card front. I covered the front with a panel of DSP, then used a 1 1/4" circle punch to create the holes you see above. My punch was just a bit larger than the existing holes so I had to punch through the cardstock, too, but it worked fine. I could have used a circle die that was closer in size to the existing holes, but using the punch was so much quicker!
I had the die-cut and inked teddy bear in my stash, and I thought he'd look cute on this card. He's popped up on some foam squares.
ETA: Since my bear was die-cut, I am adding this card to Darnell's weekly I.D.E.A.S. calendar post here. This week, the prompt is to use dies or fussy-cutting in making your card.
The stamped words are also popped up with foam tape.
I punched out three yellow hearts and popped them up in the center of each punched circle.
When the card is opened, the three hearts are visible on the inside. I also stamped a sentiment there, centering it between the fold and the three hearts.
Yesterday I decided to spend some time cleaning up my crafting area, but I kept getting distracted by all the stuff in there. In fact, while I've was "cleaning," I put together five cards! It's probably safe to say that I got more cardmaking done than cleaning.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

Cute baby card. delightful surprise to open it up and find the 3 hearts. leaning the craft room is a never ending endeavor. I do the same, I find stuff I can make a card with and don't get much cleaning done. Sort of like the woman who starts to do a chore and gets distracted by another one, then something else, and forgets what the original chore was.
What a great baby card! Funny, I often end up doing more organizing than creating when I head into my room! I always find a better way to store things or arrange things.
What a great baby card -love how you carried the hearts over to the inside. I HAVE to get my room cleaned up "tomorrow". Went to Dollar Tree yesterday and found 1 sticker set. You always seem to find the best stuff.
This is such a sweet layout, Cheryl! I love how you whipped together items from your stash and then just kept on creating while 'cleaning!' I can sure relate. BOB is overflowing over there in the corner of the Playhouse and the last time it got like that and I stopped everything to tackle it, I wound up with dozens of cards! (I need to take action on that feeling before it moves on, lol!)
Thank you for using this week's I.D.E.A.S. Calendar and sharing your darling new baby card in the gallery to motivate others! Keep on having cleaning fun!! Hugs, Darnell
