Create your own Onesie Card Tutorial-and important NOTE! PLEASE READ
WOW! Can I tell you that I am OVERWHELMED by the number of you requesting a tutorial for my onesie card found —->HERE. THANKS FOR LOVING IT! I also have had just as many requests for the Baby Bouquet-Ill work on that later.
I honestly thought it was simple and straight forward, but I’m guessing everyone’s brain works differently 
I can look at something, and just figure it out. Most stampers are VISUAL people.
So just because I LOVE you all, here is my quickie tutorial. I mean QUICK!
This card should take NO longer than 10 minutes. Seriously.
I would love your feedback, and if you do try it, please send me a link. I would LOVE to see your version.
HERE COMES THE IMPORTANT NOTE:Â
Please use this for your OWN personal use. Do not submit this template for publication. I was recently alerted by and editor-who reads my blog (INSERT SHOCKED FACE HERE), the the day after my idea was presented here, they got a submission for it-using my directions-copy/pasted from right here.
Had she not read my blog-it would have gotten picked up, and that person would be paid.
THAT is NOT cool.
Please don’t ruin the fun for everyone else. I share my items with you because “I” enjoy it. I do not care if you use sketches from here to create your own unique version for a publication, and whatnot, but please don’t use my words, templates, and CASE my ideas for profit.
Anything else-go for it!!!
SO here are the directions with photos. Please click each photo for a larger view. If you have questions I will answer them in the comments section
Step 1
Cut your card-stock to 4 1/4 X 5 1/2. Fold at TOP
Using 1 3/8 circle punch by SU! punch a 1/2 circle in top fold.
Step 2
Using same hole punch-Punch the bottom sides for the leg holes.
See how it is about a 3/4 of the punch? That will ensure it is even. There is a “pie graph” in the punch that shows you where 1/2 and a 1/4 of the circle is. Use that as your guide. Clear as mud? Use my photo.
Step 3
Snip the sharp corners at the bottom, straight.
Then score it from the back.
Step 4/5
Holding the card horizontally (fold to the left) Place fold at 1 3/4 mark. Cut in a 1/2 inch. This makes the sleeves.
Do that on both sides.
Then use your ruler, and a sharp hobby blade-an go from corner of leg, to end cut of sleeve, and cut. (this is the easiest way unless you are a PRO with your paper cutter)
This is what it should look like
Step 6/7
Now you are ready for the trim! This is optional, but oh so cute.
Punch 1/2 a 1 3/8 circle into desired card-stock. Then punch the scallop. You will need 3 of them.
Now put them on your card. Don’t worry about excess because you trim it away on the leg holes.
This is what you have before trimming.
Now you just stamp as desired!
You can add snaps or buttons-( I used Making Memories button brads)whatever you want. Embellish it as you please. It can be as simple or complex as YOU need it to be.
I stamped mine in this photo with the Limitless Labels. I used the sentiment, and tiny flower (stamped in white, then added dots with white gel pen) for this card.
I used colored cardstock for this one, whereas my first ones where white. Patterned cardstock is also a great option.
Makes a great announcement, or Welcome to the world card.
Thanks to everyone again for the love, encouragement and support. I appreciate each one of you, immensely. I am not going to let ONE person kill the joy I get from sharing with everyone.
I hope this helps you now that you can SEE it!
Till tomorrow-
[…] TUTORIAL CAN BE FOUND———–> HERE […]
Lauren - You’re the best and the card is the bomb. Thanks for the instructions. I didn’t realize you used a normal size card. The photo made me think it was larger. I love visiting your blog, your creations are amazing.
Pattie
Thanks so much for the tutorial! I was going to try this myself after seeing the original card but this saved me LOTS of time!! And I CANNOT BELIEVE someone would take your work and try to publish it as their own!!!!! AWFUL!!!!
Thanks for the tutorial Lauren. I’ll be making some of these soon!
This is super cute Lauren! I’ll have to try this and will post it for you to see. Thanks for sharing!!
This is such an awesome card, and you are so sweet to take the time to put a tutorial together, this is definitely something that I will make for my next baby card. Thank you
you are so thoughtful and generous…I was having trouble with the trim…that trick with the punches is awesome…Blessings to you and your family and thanks again for your inspiration.
Thank you Lauren for the great Tutorial~~I’m printing it off for my “Book of Ideas” that I turn to when I need some ideas and energy
I’m sorry that someone has copied one of your original ideas and tried to profit from it themselves
That totally SUCKS and makes it difficult to trust people. I hope you turned this rotten situation around and got published for this adorable, unique “”Onsie”" Baby card 
You SO deserve it!!**!!

Hey Lauren! I love these little onesie cards. I made some a while back to use for favors. They are a little different, but similar concept. You can see them on SCS here… http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/551729?cat=500&ppuser=88086. Hope you like! I enjoy all of your creations and can’t wait to see the details on the bouquet, that one I will definitely have to CASE :-)!
Lauren, your work is amazing! Pooh on those that take credit for someone else…it will all work out in the end and I don’t want to be them!!!
I’m so happy for you and everything that you are doing. You are inspiring!
This is SO cute…I’m looking for prego people now! I want to make ‘em!
Thanks Lauren. You are so open and honest. It is sad that some people have no integrity. I really appreciate you sharing your talent with all of us.
Hey Lauren - great tutorial…sorry to hear the news that someone with a serious lack of ethics tried to get your idea published under their name…shame on them. {{{hugs}}} to you, and thank you for not letting it stop you from sharing your awesome craftiness with the rest of us!!!
Thanks so much for the tutorial. I’ll give it a try.
God bless
Giovana
thanks for the tutorial - going to make these for my sister’s baby shower! NOT cool about stealing your idea, though!
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this tutorial so the rest of us can make such a cute card!!! FOR A GIFT!! I cannot believe that someone would steal a creation of yours as their own. That is just terrible. It’s sad that some people don’t seem to know or care about right and wrong. I read your blog every single day and am always excited to see what you have come up with next. You are so creative! Thanks for continuing to share your amazing ideas with us and know that we appreciate them!
That person was a naughty, naughty girl! thanks for posting the tutorial… I need a baby card and I am going to give this a try since it looks easy! TFS I really enjoy your blog and would hate for others ruion (sp) it for the rest of us…. good thing you have friends in high places…
Your onesie cards are so adorable. I am also shocked that someone would try to get credit (and compensation) from something that person did not do. I think that is downright stealing, and I’ve never understood how you can live with yourself after having stolen. Glad that it was brought to your attention at the early stage, before you might have picked up whatever magazine and been even more shocked and hurt.
Like Susan above me, I read your blog everyday and look forward to all your new creations!
Wow, I can’t believe someone would steal your idea like that. But I’m glad you aren’t letting it ruin your fun.
This is such a cute idea, thanks for the tutorial!
Ok Lauren, I made one for a boy baby. Here’s the link: http://artfulavocations.typepad.com/artful_avocations/2008/02/its-a-boy-baby.html
Hope you like it!
Love it! Can’t thank you enough!! You are the best. Sorry to hear that someone is so selfish and taking from such a great person.
Wonderful tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing your artwork with us. I’m so sorry someone tried to take advantage of you!
Thanks so much for the tutorial Lauren! Sorry to hear that someone tried to take your design & claim it as their own. How aweful! Glad that someone was looking out for you & knew you had designed it!
I love it! And I truly do appreciate your tutorials and the time you put into making them. Have a great day.
Lauren,
Thank you so much for sharing the instructions. I’m thinking of creating some for a baby shower since I have 2 friends pregnant right now and due a week apart! Thanks again for sharing!
It’s just too cute!
Thanks again!
Thanks for directions, helps alot, makes me feel good, this is exactly how I figured it out, guess I just wanted confirmation!!!
You are the best
Marilynn
You are wonderful…
Thank you for sharing this with us. It was so nice of you.
I’m sorry someone tried to take your idea and directions and submit them as thier own. That’s terrible. I’m so glad that someone caught it early and told you (and them hopefully). I’m glad that despite this, you’re still willing to share.
Thank you again!
Hugs,
Renee
Thanks for the tutorial, Lauren — it’s such an adorable card!! I always need baby cards — this is perfect!!
Lauren, thanks so much for the tutorial. I love this card - I have a baby shower this weekend - so PERFECT! And SHAME on the person that stole your idea - probably someone trolling around just on the take. I don’t believe one of your regular readers (PSF) would ever do something like that! And I hope you submitted it too - it is way cute!
Lauren, Thank you so much for your tutorials, patterns, and inspirations that you share with all of us. Your work is awesome and I really enjoy your blog. I hate to hear that someone would submit yours or anyone else’s work as their own.
These are the cutest things! I just love them. Can’t wait to try one of my very own!
Thank you so————much for this tutorial!! I was asked to make 40 baby girl shower invites for a co-worker’s daughter and was so- stressed out that I didn’t know what to do..But now woooooohooooooooo thank you thank you thank you
BTW Sorry about the person stealing your idea thing. Just remember that she’s the one who has to live with herself and in the end she will have to answer for her actions.
Thanks again and I hope you have a GREAT day
Thanks for the tutorial…I way prefer it to the template I have downloaded…its fabu….
These are so cute! Thanks for the tutorial!
so clean, like a new onsie ;^)* NOT like an active little baby, as mine were (grin)
Love this, Lauren. Thank you!
Great detailed instructions, thank you so much for taking the time to walk us through it. You know you’re a stamping diva, don’t you??!
Thanks for sharing. I thought it was just me. I was able to get one to turn out close but am so glad to have the actual directions.
Lauren, I feel like I’m just repeating what everyone else has said, but it’s so true. You are so giving of yourself and we do so appreciate you. It’s a shame that there are always a few who are out for themselves at others expense and I’m glad that a certain editor was looking out for you there.
Thanks for the wonderful tutorial! I don’t know a soul who is having a baby and I’m still geared up to make one of these because it’s so darn cute!
Ah-ha…I think I know what I was doing wrong…thanks so much for clearing it up for us.
You’re the best…so generous…really!
I’m shocked to hear that someone tried to sell your idea!!…
I really hope (and believe!) it isn’t a regular reader but just someone who lurks on blogs to case ideas for submissions. Still, it stinks!
This tutorial is great and so are your cards! I just love them! I can’t believe what some people think they can get away with…makes me sick! I love your blog and your awesome inspirating ideas! TFS!!
Thanks for the great tutorial and sharing all your ideas! Here is mine:
http://weeinklings.blogspot.com/2008/02/onesie-card.html
Cute card! Great job Lauren, thanks for sharing it with us. I will diffently us this for a workshop WOW.
I had made this on my own before you did the tutorial (after just seeing it on your blog) What an awesome card! I did post to splitcoast, but I gave credit to you! Thanks for the awesome idea! I really hope my friend likes it! Now to just get those cute brads, I think they really made the card!
Lauren,
thanks for taking the time to make this great tutorial. It is a shame that there will always be someone out there to try and steal your work! Have a blessed day!
Thanks so much Lauren!! I just love this onsie!! People should be a shame of themselves for always ruining a good thing!! Thanks again for all the work that you do!! Bev
Just to repeat once again what everyone else has said - You are so much appreciated .. not only for your instructions, cards, and tutorials, but also for your humor and dedication to your family and friends! Thanks so much for sharing with us!
This card is soooo cool. I love it. Thanks so much for sharing. I just made 2 of them. They turned out really great. Thanks again.
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial! I love this card! You are so ingenious! Here’s my card:
http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/804027?cat=500&ppuser=103395
Thanks doe putting this on. I had kinda worked out my own basic card blank using my CM circle cutter (your way is much easier!!!) and my card was larger so it is great to have actual measurements.
I thought it might be a nice base for the ladies at our church group to decorate to congratulate mum’s in our fellowship on new babies. Hope it’s ok that we do this.
I teach and I just hate when someone fobs one of my ideas off as their own. There is an unwritten crafting ‘etiquette’ same as everything else so why do some people have to be selfish, self gratifying, greedy and spoil it for the rest of us?
Sooooo excited about Papertrey! Blessings
Love your blog and thank you so much for posting this tutorial. After I saw your original post, I immediately got to work and tried to make one of my own on scratch paper. However, I got hung up on the leg openings. Your directions make everything so much clearer. I will certainly give this a try.
Hope you are able to submit this idea and get credit where credit is due. I’m sure thousands of readers would love to learn how to make these cards.
Thanks again so much!
Teryl
I loved these cards when I saw them and thought they were so adorable! I’m having my 5th child soon and these would be perfect for baby announcements. I have one question, and not that I’m planning on submitting anything but when you say that these templates are your creation and not for submission, does that mean the template or any card made using it?
Lauren, I love your version of these onesie cards, as I’ve told you before. Since I have made them before (over a year ago) with a template, I thought I’d try it your way just using the punches. It takes way less time than tracing and cutting out a template. It really does take under ten minutes. You can see mine at my blog http://www.ericasartisticattic.blogspot.com if you want. But I gave you credit with a link to your blog. Thanks for sharing with all of us!
Thank you so very much for sharing
this with all of us…
This is just the cutest onesie card that
I have ever seen. I can’t wait to try this!
Another great…”Lauren Original”!!!!
Dee
Wow this is cool, never seen anything like it before which makes it even better. i might give your tutorial a try for my friends baby’s arrival.

Great idea–very clever and thank you so much for the tutorial. Sorry that someone tried to take advantage of your generosity!
Thank you for not allowing the 1 person to ruin it for the rest of us. You are such a creative person! These are just adorable! Thank you so much for sharing the tutorial!
That is just beautiful! Thanks for sharing the tutorial with us
Thanks for your tutorial! I made one today and posted it to my blog:
http://bellacarta.typepad.com
Adorable baby card, Lauren. Thanks so much for sharing it with all of us.
When I saw your original idea I knew I had to make one…now you saved me all the time of trying to figure it out on my own…THANK YOU! There’s lots of expectant mommies in my family so this will definitely come in handy!
Hugs,
Charmaine
Just to let you know, I used this card at a shoebox swap this past Sat. Everybody loved it. I gave you total credit for the cad. Thanks again.
Thank you for such fabulous directions for a onesie card. Here is my creation using your tutorial.

Hi Lauren, thanks for sharing the directions for the cute onsie card. You will probably get a lot of hits today because the SCS VSN pre challenge is to do a “best dressed baby” card and what better for a best dressed baby to wear than a onsie?! Here is a link to the card I made. http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/809247?cat=500&ppuser=106764
Thanks again!
Marcie
Hi Lauren,
I just love this card…can’t wait to make one. I am having a workshop next week with a “Fun with Punches” theme. This will be the hit of the show.
Thanks so much for sharing, we really appreciate it. Too bad some people want to steal your great idea.
Cindy
Lauren,
Thank you so much for publishing this tutorial. As soon as I saw your adorable onesie cards, I knew I had to make them. Luckily, my girlfriend is due with her 4th at the end of March and I know she will LOVE this card. Also, I am so deeply sorry to hear of that person who stole your tutorial. That is absolutely horrible and my heart goes out to you. Just remember that what comes around, goes around. So happy to hear you are not letting this stop you from sharing your wonderful work in the future. {{{Hugs}}}
[…] Meader posted the tutorial on her blog for you all to view and play around with. Please take the time to read her post and […]
Lauren,
This is absolutely darling! I CASED it and gave you credit. I used berry bliss paper. See what you think.
http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/810579?cat=500&ppuser=34518
THANK YOU , THANK YOU, THANK YOU! My neice is having a baby in May and I think these would make absolutely darling shower invites or even baby announcements! She’s having a boy, so of course there will be some blue in them (and yellow, my favorite color).
Still have no idea how to post onto the splitcoast website, so I won’t be able to upload one for you to see, but please know that they will be admired and cherished by many!
Again, THANKS!
Lisa
Lauren–Your timing is perfect! One of my good friends had her first BOY today (second child), and I was able to use this tutorial to help me get a card in the mail quickly. I’d seen the onesie card when you first posted it, but the tutorial was so helpful! Here’s my link: http://justforyoubyjenn.blogspot.com/2008/02/new-life.html
Thanks for sharing!
Lauren, thanks so much for the tutorial. You’re right, some people are more visual. I had no idea that scallop punch could be involved — how clever! Thanks so much for sharing! Jeanne
Big Shame on her for trying to rip you off.. I hope that the editor who was savy enough to pick up on it has put a red flag on this rip off artist (who has probably done this to more than one person ) for the future.
Im glad to hear it worked out for you and not her!
I just love, love, love this darling card. My downline just made me one for a swap and I’ve already received so many comments on it. Thanks for such a Darling Idea..
Thanks so much for posting these. I love them and I am going to use them at my club tonight with full credit to you of course. I just posted a few samples on my blog and linked back here. Just wanted to take a minute to let you know that you have inspired me along with many many others and we appreciate it. YOU ROCK!
Thanks so much for the tutorial on the Onsie they are so cute. Also thanks for not letting one selfish person ruin your spirit of generousity. Ann
I love your baby onesie cards! So cute! I was inspired and made my own and posted it on my blog here:
http://mypapercreations.blogspot.com/2008/02/sweet-baby-onesie.html
Thanks for the great inspiration!
Thank you so much. I love it. Aren’t you the creative one. How special that you share with all of us.
Hi Lauren,
I absolutely love this card. Keep it up and thanks for showing your creativity.
Take care,
Rachel(Edmonton, Alberta)
LOVE this card!!
Unfortunately my 1 3/8″ punch doesn’t have the “guide” inside of it!
I made do anyhow, and I like the finished product. I’ll definately be making more!!
Here is my first attempt:

Another adorable little item! thanks for the wonderful tutorial - can’t wait to try these out - don’t presently know anyone having a baby - but I’ll be ready after making these cuties!
[…] Alum Lauren Meader came to my rescue with her adorable Onesie card and tutorial found on her blog here. I have to say I LOVE how this card turned out! […]
Lauren - just have to add my thanks for your inspiration and tutorial - I had such fun creating my own version of the onsie - I did them years ago, but not with punches - which is what made this one SO much fun!! Thanks again!
I can’t even tell you how much I appreciate you sharing this with us! I have SO many friends due in the next couple months. You are a life saver!
I’m so grateful for ideas like this! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Thanks for the wonderful tutorial and just when I needed to make a baby card. I did mine last night and I posted it today. I really do appreciate it.

Hi there,
This is SOOO cute. I was forwarded your Showcase card and then my upline sent the link out. Perfect timing, as I am making baby shower invites for my shower. Love your tutorial, very easy to follow. Thanks so much for sharing!
Elyse
This is just so darn cute! Thanks for posting such an easy tutorial. Care to see the one I made? http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/826165?cat=3108
Happy Monday - Regina
Hi Lauren,
Totally adorable card! Loved your great instructions - thanks so much for sharing them on your site. I’ve got lots of friends having babies, so finding this was just awesome! Thanks so much for sharing!
Kimmi
Thank you Lauren - this is the most darling card I’ve seen in a while. The tutorial is wonderful!!
My version is on my blog - also made another one, but gave it away before I got a picture - naughty, naughty!!
Thanks again - definitely a favorite

Just got an invite to a baby shower today–same day as found this thanks to More is More–would have found it on my own as I visit you often. Anyway I just made one–thanks so much for such a timely tutorial. It is just so dang cute and so very generous of you to share!!!! THANK YOU!!!
Laurie
Lauren:
Thank you so much for sharing the tutorial with all of us inspite of what happened with someone trying to steal your design. It shows you have much grace. This card is so sweet. My sister and I both loved it when we saw. You are very talented.
Hi Lauren, thank you so VERY much for sharing your passion and creativity with us. I just made one of your onesies for a practice run… your directions were terrific (my stamping was not). I think your onesie creation is simply precious.
-Mary
Thanks for the awesome directions! I just made one and have one question….do you ever have problems with the 1 3/8″ punch punching out two layers at the neckline? I just tried it and think I jammed my punch and now it doesn’t work. Maybe I punched too slowly? The top cutter part of the circle punch now doesn’t slip through the hole. Your samples are adorable! Thanks for the step by step tutorial!
Mary
Hi Lauren,
Hi Lauren,
Thanks for the tutorial! It is awesome and I just happen to have 2 baby showers this weekend. This card will be perfect! Thanks again!
Emi
GREAT CARD!!!
I just made this cute card but realized the measurements should be 11 1/2 by 4 1/4 then folded at the top.
Thanks for the great tutorial.
Oops I meant to say the measurements should be 11 by 4 1/4 then folded.
Thanks, It’s been a really long day.
Wow, what an awesome card. I was just thinking it would be great to make the front to put into my kids albums when I get to that point.
Way cool, Sorry that someone can be so rude as to try to take credit for something you had designed.
I was pretty surprised this weekend when I was in one of my local independent craft stores (St. Louis, MO area) and they had 4 examples of your onesie card with a set of brief basic instructions sitting out on a table. There was no mention of who had designed it so while they didn’t give you credit at least they weren’t trying to take the credit themselves. I think they just loved your idea and wanted to share it with their customers.
This is such a great card- I can’t wait to try it. I’d seen this card on SCS and many who’ve CASED it credit you. Unfortunately, today I saw it on the Stampers Showcase for Stampin’ Up NOT credited to your name. It makes me sad to think that people get credit for others creativity. I am the first person to tell my customers that majority of my cards are CASED- that’s why I’ve yet to submit anything for a contest- I’m afraid some element came from someone else!!! (:
You are an amazing talented person thank you for sharing and for even doing a tutorial!
I finally gave one of these adorable cards a go, I can’t believe how easy and adorable it was!! Thank you so much for sharing your creations with us.
Lauren, I LOVE this design and finally broke down and made a card using your template. I had show-’n-tell with my lunch buddies today and they were all thoroughly impressed … and I told ‘em it was all you, girl!
Here’s my card - http://sueblondin.blogspot.com/2008/03/its-baby-time.html

[…] I made a onesie card to match based on Lauren Meader’s tutorial here. […]
If I print your tutorial for the onsies, will all the comments print too?
These are adorable, but I don’t want to print anything but the directions.
Thanks for sharing your great ideas.
I have just made some of these - with pacifiers! (dummies)

One question, can you please tell me how you made the boys legs (the white stripes)?
Thanks
Stefanie
Thank you for a wonderful tutorial… I had so much fun making my own version
Here are mine : http://paperpleasing.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/04/for-the-babies.html
I love this card - but it ruined 2 of my big circle punches! Punching through the two layers at the neck misaligned it or something and they won’t punch anything anymore!! What a waste of $30!! Next time I make this card I will punch out a template circle and trace it onto the card and cut it out with my snips. The card it totally cute though!
This is my first time to your site. I have lingered and looked for two hours! What talent and inspiration you are! I have added you to my favorites and will be back alot. Thanks for sharing everything.

This is absolutely the very cutest onesie! I love your illustrations and wonderful instructions. I found this via Papertrey Ink and SCS. You are one very talented women. You are so creative and have fantastic projects. You are truly an inspiration!
Made one at last. Thank you so much for these instructions. I had to use nestabilities as I don’t have correct punces so it was a bit more tricky but happy with the result http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/915346?cat=500&ppuser=132530

That is horrible… absolutely HORRIBLE.
I saw one of my ideas show up in a mag, and I was so hurt by it, because I recognize the name of who submitted.
With so many sharing out there, you would hope people would be honest & respectful.
Don’t let them get you down!
thank you so much, i cant wait to try these cute cards! awesome work, you are so talented-love your blog
I finally had a chance to try these. Thought I would post a link in case you want to check it out.

Also thought I would point out that there is a measurement error in your directions. Step one says to cut the paper to 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 it should say 4 1/4×11. I actually cut it before I realized the mistake and laughed when I tried to fold it in half. ha.
Your template is much appreciated, and thank you for the tutorial. As for the person who stole your idea, he or she is not only unethical, they are breaking the law. That was a copyright violation. It happens to all of us sooner or later. I’m glad you haven’t thrown in the towel and stopped posting.
