Onesie Gift Set

I have a dear craft friend who is expecting a baby girl any day now, so I made this gift set for her. I think they turned out really cute and were so easy to make!

For the gift box I used Onesie Gift Box Girl from My Scrap Chick and enlarged it a much as I could. I decorated it with bits of lace and ribbon.

The easel card and tag were made using Onesie Girls Tutu Easel Card and Onesie Girls Tutu Flat Fold Card. 

Materials List

Printed cardstock and pink dots from "Uptown Flair" from The Paper Studio. Check and plaid from my scraps stash. 

Plain cardstock from Recollections.

Various gathered white laces

Various white and pink ribbon

Clear Gems by Jots

Pink dotted flowers from Craft Smith

The following files from My Scrap Chick were used.

I love how this gift set turned out, and so did my friend. If you have a special someone who is expecting, this set would make a great gift. Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think. 

Have a great day!

Ball Gown Gladys Bow Card

Hi! Spring is here and soon it will be Prom time. Do you know someone who will be attending her first Prom? If yes, why not make her a cute bow card to celebrate the occasion?

CARD RECIPE

All DD Stamps & Products Used: Ball Gown Gladys Set, Bow Card Template

Cardstock & Papers: Floral from "Joplin" by Colorbok, Paisley is from "Bejeweled" by Colorbok, cardstock by Recollections, images printed on Spectrum Noir Cardstock from Crafter's Companion

Markers: Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers & Glitter Pen

Acc. & Embellishments: Bow Card Template from Digital Delights, Mats, butterflies and flourishes by Cricut, small aqua gems, various small silk flowers, glue runner, glue , foam tape, paper clips

Special Technique:

I made the bow card over sized at 9 3/4 inches. All the base pieces, and decorative mats were made from aqua cardstock. The top layers were made from the patterned papers. I layered the patterned pieces over their corresponding aqua pieces. When dry, I formed the bows, glued them in place, and used paper clips to hold them in place while they dried.

I put the card layers together as shown using a combination of tape runner, glue and foam tape. I used paper clips to hold it all together while everything dried.

Four flourishes and two butterflies were tucked between the layers and aqua gems were added as shown.  Five little silk flowers were added to each side of the completed image. 

The image was printed on a 3 1/2 inch circle and the sentiment was made 1 1/4 by 1 3/4 inches. Both were added to decorative mats.

Color Palette

Bunnies in the Carrot Patch

Bunnies got into the Carrot Patch!

This cute little centerpiece would be perfect for any Spring/Summer event. I used the Carrot Patch Box for most of my project, and the tired bunny from Chubby Bunnies for face, ears and paws of the bunnies.

MATERIALS

 Carrot Patch Box

  Chubby Bunnies 

Pink dotted cardstock from "Watercolor Ombre" by DCWV

Antique tan cardstock from Basic Grey

Colored cardstock by Recollections

Orange dot cardstock from my stash

Orange 1/4 inch ribbon

Wood Grain embossing folder from Cuddlebug

Small white pom poms

Adhesive, foam tape

Small amount of self stick Velcro

Exacto knife

I used the carrot pattern to make the bunny bodies from the pink dotted cardstock. The facial features, ears and paws are from the tired bunny from the Chubby Bunnies file. I placed the ears up instead of down, and also made the eyes larger. The muzzle was attached with foam tape to add some dimension.

A 1/4 inch piece of self stick Velcro was used as a closure behind the ears.

The little carrots were made at 2 1/2 inches using the carrot pattern. Each bunny got a carrot, one was put outside the fence, and two were put between the bunnies inside the fence. I used an exacto knife to make a small X for each carrot inside the fence.

I used small pom poms to give the bunnies little tails. ( A larger pom pom would probably have worked better, but I used what I had.)

The fence was made using the Basic Grey cardstock. The pickets were embossed using the Wood Grain Cuddlebug folder. I used my Cricut Explore to write the message on the sign.

I hope you liked my Bunnies in the Carrot Patch. I had so much fun making it.  If you liked it I'd love to hear from you! 

HAPPY EASTER

Laughing Dog Spinner Card

Hi! Today is New Release Day for Digital Delights by Louby Loo and I made a spinner card using "Laughing Dog," "Lonely Pups Accessory Set" and "Man's Best Friend Sentiment."

CARD RECIPE

DD Stamps used: Laughing Dog, Lonely Pups Acc. Set, Man's Best Friend Circular Sentiment

Papers & Cardstock: Image printed on Spectrum Noir Cardstock by Crafter's Companion, Bow Wow Paper by Scrap Happy, cardstock by Recollections

Coloring Medium: Prismacolor Pencils

Acc./ Embellishments: Collar SVG by Cricut, glue, foam tape

Special Technique:

This was my first spinner card so I'm not sure I followed the traditional technique or not. I printed my main image on a 3 1/2 inch circle and colored it with my Prismacolor Pencils. The dog dish and bones are about 1 1/4 inches. The sentiment is 1 3/8 inches in diameter.

I used a 6 inch square card base and cut a 4 inch circle 1 1/4 inch down from the top and centered side to side. I did the same thing to a 6 inch square used as a mat. The dog dish is mounted on a 1 inch circle and the circle is attached to a penny so it can travel along the groove. The whole thing is put together with foam tape so the dog dish can travel in the space between the circles. I did this by putting the penny in place tucked under the image from the back and marking the outside edge as I moved the penny around the circle. Foam tape was placed all along this edge and around the outside edge of the mat.

The collar is 5 3/4 inches long and the Man's Best Friend Sentiment was attached to the collar. I made four bones that were added to the lower corners.

I hope you liked my little spinner card! Please leave a comment. I'd love to hear what you think.

Take your dowel rod and wrap it with double stick tape, then the ribbon.
