Anyway this is the card I made for the birth of the twins. I tried desperately to find out the neighbours choice of names before they were born but they were staying tight lipped so couldn't add their names to the card!!
I made a 3 fold card by matting two card blanks together. The front of the card has a 3d panel of baby pattern paper (a magazine freebie from way back) adhered to white card an then die cut using spellbinders Marvellous Squares, then two ribbons tied together (pink/ blue) to create the bow. Corner pieces are silver stickers from my stash.
Card then opens up to reveal a pre printed digi image by Pink Gem which I have matted onto pink spotty paper by Paper Mania from their Chatsworth Vintage collection Linen Texture.
The right hand flap has a green spotty paper (from the same collection) and another pre coloured digi from Pink Gem.
By the way . Say hi to Ella and Henry!!

Wow Mrs A this is a stunning card I love the design. I think this one will be treasured for a long time. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Oh how cute this is! The inside is just adorable with those sweet little babies. Oh my, they will have their hands full. You may be babysitting to help them out!
Twins, how lovely and such a beautiful card, brilliant design making the three fold and having the boy and girl images, lovely colours, Kate x
Oh wow this is one special, unique and thoughtful card. Absolutely fabulous. Yes I do remember Tiny Tears...With fondness x
What a wonderful card to celebrate the new arrivals. A great idea to do a triple fold card with a girl and boy image. The parents have chosen two super names too.
I remember Tiny Tears. My friend bought one for her daughter for Christmas in the 70's and she boarded at my house until Christmas eve with the other presents so her children wouldn't find them. Those were the days when Christmas was magical. Barbxx
Hi Mrs A,
oh this card is wonderful and what a super idea the triple fold to incorporate a Girl image and a Boy one.
Love their wonderful names too.
My daughter was 3lb 12 ozs when she was born in 1968 and she was in a incubator for just over a week, and I cuoldn't take her home till she was 5llb in weight, and I do remember nothing fitting her properly, and they didn't make tiny baby clothes in those days.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Oh wow this is gorgeous! What a fabbo card for twins! Beautiful!

Gorgeous cards for the twins, you are a lovely person making these for them.xx{aNNie}
Such a gorgeous card and wow twins! I had a Tiny Tears so yes babies can be sooo tiny. I am currently knitting for our No 2...only 10 weeks to go! So exciting! Enjoy your weekend xx
A beautiful card to be treasured. Yes, I had a much loved Tiny Tears. I wouldn't be surprised if it was still in my Mum's attic.
So cuuuuuute! Love these soft colours!
Such a beautiful card Valery, I'm sure that your neighbours will love this card. I remember Tiny Tears well, I received mine for Christmas in 1967. I remember the year as we moved soon afterwards, when I was 8. My mum still lives in the same house we moved too and I still have my Tiny Tears. The intention was to pass it onto my daughter, she however had no interest in dolls (she was a bit of a tom boy) still one day she may give me a granddaughter to pass it onto.

Hi there Mrs A - this is just so bloomin' cute - I love how you've designed the card with the three sides. Had to laugh how you tried to find out the names beforehand Miss Marple! Anyway just wanted to say that this is gorgeous. Oh and I've seen your recycled card - that's gorgeous too!! Hugs Sue Pxxx
lovely creation
