The Male Room challenge - GDT card

Hello again friends; I'm here again this morning to share my card as GDT for The Male Room challenge.  I was lucky enough to win one of their recent challenges and was honoured to be asked to be a guest designer for them.  The challenge this month is 'for a baby boy' which was perfect for me as one of my son's friends has just welcomed a new baby boy. 

I've seen lots of baby dresser shaped cards on Pinterest so was inspired to give one a go. I love making baby cards, especially shaped ones, but sadly don't seem to need them very often these days.  I hope you like it.

Here is my card:

A closer look at the details:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I made a 5" x 7" top folding card but cutting 1 panel 5" x 7" and one panel 5" x 8" and scoring at 1" on the 8" side.  I then adhered them together with strong red liner tape.  I cut 5 'drawers' from white card using a flag die and cut off the flag end and also cut a thinner 'top' for my dresser from white card.  To make the decorative detail on the bottom of the dresser I used a spellbinders scalloped die.  I added the top and drawers with foam squares.  I recently bought a super cute baby die set so of course I had to use it; I die cut two outfits, a teddy bear, a duck and a baby rattle using scraps of blue, yellow and kraft card.  I added some details with Promarkers, a white gel pen and black memento pen and adhered all the pieces together with liquid glue.  I also die cut the hello baby words, letters to spell out Isaac and a few white hearts.  I arranged the die cuts as I wanted and added them with liquid glue.  I finished off with some silver pearl embellishments for the drawer handles.  For the inside I cut a white panel 4 1/2" x 5 1/4" and add a blue mat layer with double sided tape.  I stamped the sentiment in the centre with blue ink and added a few more die cuts to match the front.  The panel was adhered with double sided tape. A really sweet card and even though it's not perfect, it is handmade after all, I love it and I hope Isaac's parents do too.
