Baby Girl bag

I have a wonderful friend who supports me so much in my crafting and keeps me busy with some orders. One of her recent orders was a bag for a baby girl. I went to work and love how this bag turned out! 

 I have to admit I struggled a little bit on the decorating of the bag, nothing was really coming to me, so I reluctantly turned to Pinterest. I try not to use it too often, but it helped me out this time around. I found this card and followed the design just changing out the colors and other things. 

                                                        

I used my Cricut Explore Air to cut the bag and the word "baby". With the baby word I cut it out of white cardstock four times and then the patterned paper once, I glued them all together to layer them up and give some dimension. 

The patterned paper came from the DCWV Nana's Nursery Baby girl paper pad. I love the colors in this pad and chose some fun prints out of it to layer together in a staggered and angled position on the bag. 

The bakers twine is from Tim Holtz Idea-ology. 

I used a white gel pen to write in the other words to finish the sentiment. 

I used my ATG for some of the adhesive along with Tombow Mono Multi Glue. 

Thanks for visiting my blog today, and happy crafting!

Huggable, Squeezable, Baby!

Good morning everyone, today I am sharing with you a gift card holder I made for a friend, who is also a soccer coach. We coach together, two seperate teams but we have combined practices.  She just had her first baby 2 weeks ago, it was a girl! 
I really liked how this turned out.  She was grateful, and thougth it was super cute too. 

Patterned paper is from the Nana's Nursery DCWV 6x6 pad

Cuttlebug-paisley folder

Fiskars border punch

ribbon is from JoAnn's

The sentiment is an old tag I made with some baby rub-ons.  I found it going through some old things as I was organizing some of my craft space. I thought it was so cute and had to use it for this gift card/money holder.  I hope you like it, let me know what you think!

Sweet Baby (boy)

Well, I have had a busy day getting these cards done for my card swap group which meets tomorrow night.  We didn't really have a theme this month, it was whatever we wanted to make.  I had a hard time deciding what to do so I checked out some challenge blogs to give me a direction to go and this is what I made:

I used K & Company patterned paper (that I bought a year and a half ago)

Stamps are from My Pink Stamper and Stampin Up

Ink is from Momento-Summer Sky

I used a Stampin Up punch (that I just bought and wanted to use it for the first time)

Pebbles Inc. glitter chalk was used for shading

The ribbon is from my stash

Welcome to the world

Good morning all, I can't believe it has been like a week since I posted last.  I'm sorry. It is just crazy around here. 

I have a friend who just gave birth and I made a card for her to go with a simple gift.  She is a very simple person.  So I made my card simple.  I think it turned out cute.  Hope she likes it.

Baby Boy Card #1

Hello everyone, and a big hello to my new followers.  Welcome to my blog. 
I am going to be making a number of baby cards; Mostly boy ones.  I have a few friends who are going to be having a baby boy soon and wanted to get started on their cards.
With these cards I am trying to use some of my older paper and stickers, embellishments, things like that.  I really need to use up all of the stuff I have.  I will probably still use my cricut for some of the cards, but I am really  trying use all the other old things. 

This is card number one.  I will post the cards as I finish them.

I used some old patterned paper that I found, and ended up using my cricut for the bottle.  It was on the Doodlecharms cart.  The ribbon is from my stash and I used a border punch from fiskars.  Hope you like it, comments are welcome!
