What did the stork bring

It's a very special challenge today on Simon Says Stamps Challenge, Heidi our boss from Simon Says Stamps is having a baby around today and DT Christine is due to have her baby soon. So the challenge is for a baby card, love the challenge name What did the stork bring.
 This is going to be a long post quite a few pics. My card started off as Joy fold card but then it went its own way. I have actually made a book hinge on both sides so that when closed it lays nicely. Both the babies are Belles'n'Whistles.
The papers are Echo Park Be Mine and I've the Martha Stewart doily punch. The embossed lines are using a scoring board.
Click on the pic to make it larger to be able to read the poem

I've used the doo-hickey swirl a lot and prima flowers which Simon Says stamps have loads of gorgeous ones to chose from. The poem is from the internet and printed on the PC and the border is another favourite border punch from Martha Stewart Cherish, the corner is a cuttlebug die.

I've taken out the awful orange bits out of the middle of the flowers and replaced them with pearls.
I used a die for the tag on the back so I can write my congratulations on.

Do pop over to see the fabulous cards the team have made and don't forget there's an amazing prize for one lucky winner but you to be in it to win.

Phew that was a long post.

This is a stunning card, love the images and the papers and not to mention the shape of the card, the poem is gorgeous.
I don't suppose there is any chance that you could let me know how you have made the actual shape of the card as I have a few special birthdays coming up and it would be nice to make a different card base.
