Easy Layered Baby Cards

 Today I’m sharing this adorable layered baby card featuring the sweetest little elephant from Pajama Crafter Stamps! I paired the image with soft spring plaid papers and layered die cuts to create a cheerful design perfect for welcoming a new baby.

Card Base

The card starts with a scalloped, die cut card base. A piece of paper from the Spring Plaid 6×6 Paper Pack is cut slightly smaller for matting.

Stamping & Die Cutting

Next, I stamp the cute elephant from Savanna Babies Stamps, color with Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut.

More die cutting is done for the card layering to include 4 banners using the Banner Die Set and 2 circles. One cut with the Circle Peek A Boo Die and a smaller one cut with a stitched die from my stash.

Putting it all Together 

I adhere the 4 banners to frame the focal point and give the card lots of dimension and movement.

For the center, the Circle Peek A Boo Die cut creates a delicate frame behind the sentiment, stamped on the white circle die cut.

The soft green layer helps the sweet baby elephant image stand out while keeping the design light and playful. I finished the card with a few Daffodil Confetti Embellishments for a touch of shine and extra sweetness.

I love how the soft pastel colors and sweet elephant create such a happy, welcoming feel. This design would be perfect for a baby shower, new baby gift, or nursery décor inspiration.

Next, trim a panel of Bright Foil 10pt Silver Cardstock measuring 4 3/4 x 6 1/4 inches.

Trim the white panel with stamping to 4 5/8 x 6 1/8 inches. Stamp the sentiment near the bottom.

Adhere the white panel with stamping to the silver panel. add to the card base. Add 3 black sequins to the top left to complete the card.

To coordinate with the card, create a handmade envelope using DCS Black Cardstock. Trim a piece of 12 x12 inches to 9 3/8 x 9 3/8 inches for a 5 x 6 1/2 inch envelope. 

Using an envelope punch board, align the left side of cardstock to 4 1/8 inches. Punch and score on envelope score line A. Rotate 90 degrees, align score mark with envelope score groove. Repeat 2 more times. Round corners. Fold and glue.

Die cut a decorative clock element from Bright Foil 10pt Silver Cardstock.

Stamp, color and fussy cut a rose image. Add stamping and heat embossing of some music notes onto the front of the envelope.

Adhere the clock die cut to the front of the envelope. Layer the colored rose image in the center.

The bold black background makes the red rose stand out beautifully and ties the entire project together.

Beehive Home Decor

Bring a little buzz-worthy charm to your home décor with this adorable beehive project created with products from Clear Scraps! 

This layered piece combines patterned papers, sparkle, dimensional florals, and a sweet shaker bee accent for a cheerful farmhouse-inspired decoration perfect for spring and beyond.

2 products from Clear Scraps are used for this project, Medium Beehive Shiplap Shape & Mini Shaker Bee.

I started by cutting coordinating yellow and floral patterned papers, to cover the beehive.

Before adhering the papers in place, I painted the hive entrance black for contrast and dimension.

Adhere papers to the beehive with decoupage medium. 

I did also cover the papers with the decoupage to seal.

After adhering the papers in place, I added decorative trim along each section of the beehive 

to highlight the shape and give it a finished look.

The star of the project is the adorable Mini Shaker Bee. Color was added to the outer chip form with a black sparkle pen.

I colored the back piece with acrylic paint markers.

Assemble the shaker by adhering 2 of the form pieces to the back.

Add glitter and sequins.

Remove film from both sides of the acrylic piece and 

adhere to the back of the outer form piece. 

Add to complete the shaker.

To embellish the top corner, a seam binding bow was added.

I created a dimensional paper flower using coordinating cardstock and added a gem center for a pop of shine. A few leaves tucked underneath complete the floral cluster beautifully.

I adhered the bee shaker and as a final touch, I added a dotted bee trail detail near the bee for a whimsical finishing accent.

This project would be so cute displayed on a shelf, tucked into seasonal décor, or gifted to a bee lover. The combination of layered elements, shimmer, and soft floral details makes this beehive home décor piece truly sweet as honey.

Products Used:

• Clear Scraps Medium Beehive Shiplap Shape
• Clear Scraps Mini Shaker Bee
• Patterned Papers
• Trim
• Seam Binding Ribbon
• Glitter and Sequins
• Adhesive
• Gem Embellishment
• Decoupage Medium
• Black Acrylic Paint
