My niece is having a baby in February and I put this together for her baby shower gift. I put a gift card inside but I couldn't just do that. In the first picture, I used a recycled white gift bag and needed to cover some names written on the bag. I used a medallion cut from the French Manor cartridge, inked with Stampin up inks, a Little Bundle of Joy stamp and a flower I put together with a little green button brad for the center. I colored the stamp with colored pencils. This measures approximately 4" tall.
I made this tag for the baby whose name starts with a "P". All the pieces were cut from Cricut cartridges including Country Life, and I'll add the others. The tag is 6" tall. I made the rosette from a piece of cardstock 1 1/2" by 12" scored every 1/4" . I added the white stitching around the tag, pearls, ribbon bow, another button brad and recycled silk flowers. All of the edges are inked with Stampin Up inks. I didn't intend for this to be a Christmas onament but when my niece opened it up, she said, "oh, her first Christmas ornament." Cool.
The back of the tag I ran through the Cuttlebug with this floral folder and I inked the inside of the folder with Tie Dye Distress ink. Then I added some pink and brown ink around the edges and on top of the embossing.
Inside I put together this framed ballerina I cut from the Shall We Dance cart. I embossed it with black embossing powder on black cardstock but when I make another one of these silhouettes, I will cover it with Glossy Accents or clear embossing powder. I used a recycled silver frame, inked the mat with pink and green (the baby's room colors) and mounted the ballerina on a pink patterned cardstock using sheet Glue Dots (one of my NEW favorite things!!!).
This is just beautiful.
