Expecting Two?

One of the girls at my workplace is expecting twins! We held a baby shower for her couple weekends ago, and this is the card I came up with. This was the first time I had done a card for twins, so I was a bit stumped for ideas at first. Surfed the internet for some ideas, and finally decided to use this stork and baby cut from the New Arrivals cartridge.

Did a mirror image of the baby cut on Design studio for the second twin in the stork's bundle, and layered all the cuts several times. Used the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder to emboss the blue bundle (yes, it's gonna be baby boy twins!) and added the eyelet corners cut with an old Marvy Uchida corner punch. Library label for the sentiment comes from the Tags Bags Boxes & More cartridge.

Here's the inside of the card. Used a Martha Stewart doily edge punch, duckies from the Wild Card cartridge, and hearts are another Marvy Uchida punch, run through the Swiss Dots embossing folder. Font is Catchup.

And here's a view of the finished card, opened and standing as an easel card. Really am enjoying these easel cards and how quick and simple they are to put together!
