Baby Girl Tag

A few weeks ago I posted the card and gift for Baby M. Well, she's here and doing well! I decided to use George and Basic Shapes to make a tag out of the scraps from that project. I want to add this to a small gift.

I used the same designer paper and stamped the sentiment. The baby is also a stamp that I paper pieced. I've never tried that technique, but I've been wanting to, so I started (really) small. The flower is made of felt, and I added a pink pearl in the middle. Pink and white twine finished off the tag.

Thanks

Just Ducky

My husband's cousin is due with her first baby in June, and her baby shower is this weekend. We will be out of town and unable to attend, but we are sending along a gift and well-wishes with family.

The gifts we bought the baby have ducks on them, so I wanted the card to follow that theme.

I used the Cricut Sampler cartridge for the outfit and stamped the duck. I was able to use three different patterned papers on this card. Buttons and ribbon added the finishing touches. I just bought this ribbon, but the buttons have been in my stash for almost a year, so I'm happy to use them up. Here is the inside of the card:

Baby M is Coming

My sister-in-law is having a baby girl soon, and her baby shower is this weekend. I made a picture frame with her daughter's initial and a matching card.

I used Simply Charmed for the baby and cut the background mat from Formal Occasion. I added ribbon and put glitter glue on the carriage. I also added pearls to the wheels. I found those pearls in the $1 at Michaels, and I've had them for years. I also put the carriage on foam tape for dimension.

Inside the card I added another mat and a sentiment.

I also made a frame for one of her gifts. I've made these before, and they always get a great reaction.

The frame is black, so it's hard to see, especially since I took the pictures really late at night. I used Alphalicious for the letters and added ribbon to the frame. The baby shower theme and baby's room is ballet, so I added ballet slippers to the letter. I think they are from The Paper Studio.

I hope my sister-in-law likes her gifts.


Thanks

It's a Girl -- Finally

There is a baby due very soon in my family. My aunt and uncle have three boys and now they are expecting a baby girl next month.

My aunt loves dragonflies, so I wanted to give a new gift that incorporated them. I bought a cute picture frame and used Alphalicious to add the baby's initial -- J. The background paper is pink and sparkly, and I added glitter glue to the dragonfly wings. It is from Simply Charmed. I really love the way this frame turned out. Their house needs pink, glittery cuteness after all those boys.

I kept the theme going on the card. I used the same dragonfly, but cut the flowers and background mat from Create a Critter. I added ribbon and pearls, and that was it. I love the soft, pastel colors -- perfect for a new baby.

I stamped my sentiment inside.

Thanks!

Boy, oh Boy

My cousin just had a baby boy. Everyone is so excited, especially his two daughters. I made this card to include with the present I got him.

I used classic blue, which I'm sure he loves after all the girly things he is used to with his daughters. The bottle was cut with my Cricut using Simply Charmed.

Inside the card I stamped a simple sentiment.
