Another Onsie Advice Book

Here is another Onsie Advice Book I recently made for an On-Line Order!

This one was for a baby girl and the colors used were pale yellow, sage green, and pale pink!

Gate Fold Book - My First EVER!!!

Hi Everyone,

I saw a Gate Fold book at my local scrapbooking store and fell in love with the concept. I knew I had to make one... My sister in law recently had a baby boy and figured it would make a very cute keepsake for them.

The back page and the two cover pages are cut from Chipboard and covered with cardstock. I cut the items for the "toy box" on the front with the cricut and mainly used the New Arrivals Cart. I wanted it to look like the toys were in the box and falling out! Once all my pages were covered and cut to the appropriate size, I used my BIA to bind the book together! It really was not hard, just getting the items on the front to line up and open correctly was tricky. I also didn't think about this until after but the shapes used on the front would need a back cover if (when opened) you could see the back side... hopefully that made sense! I added some cute poems and such to the book to personalize it a bit and added the baby's name to the front (with Thickers) and one of the inside pages (with Stickles)!

I think for my first gate fold book, it turned out pretty darn good. I really hope they liked it.

Recent Creations

Hi Everyone,

Wow its been a month since I have posted on my blog. I cannot believe it has been that long. We have had a busy month... We took our first family trip to Texas to visit my sister. This was Aiden and Aleena's first ever plane ride and they did GREAT!! Apart from the little crying during take off and landing, they were troopers!

I have been busy with Etsy Orders.. I wanted to share the last few things that I created for my Etsy Shoppers:

First was this Onsie Advice Book. The customer wanted it to match the theme and invitation so the colors requested were white and blue. I have to say, i think this is my best onsie advice book by far. I loved the inking around the edges, I think it just added that little extra something. I have not changed my etsy shop picture for this listing to show this book. I just was super happy with it!


Next was this Baby Bottle Advice Book I just finished. This customer wanted custom colors of Yellow, Orange, and Green. This is the first bottle book I have sold since posting it in my Etsy Shop. I think this one turned out a lot better the the original. I even embellished the "milk" in the bottle with glittery stickles glitter glue. I was very happy with the way this book turned out and hope the customer likes it!

Thanks for visiting and post a comment or two if you like anything you see!

Thanks!

Cards...

My recent card creations! These are for sale in my Etsy Shop!

Baby Shower Card...

Good Morning Everyone!

I just wanted to share a card I recently made for a dear friend's baby shower. I have embossed the yellow sheet with the Baby Embossing folder for the Cuttle Bug. I cut the carraige with the Cricut using the New Arrivals Cartridge multiple times and used foam dots to add demension.

I also have a shot of the inside of the card. I apologize for not taking the picture prior to writting in the card... Note to self.. next time take pictures before writting in the cards!

Thanks for looking!

1st Birthday Card!

I made this birthday card for our niece. She is celebrating her 1st birthday on August 18th! The elephant was cut at size 4 using the New Arrivals Cartridge. I cut several layers and then glued them together using glue foam stickers to give it some dimension. Its glued on a piece of yellow card stock I ran through the Cuttle Bug using the Swiss Dots Embossing Folder.

Hopefully she liked it!

Baby Shower Advice Books

These are two baby shower advice books I created. I cut out the inside "pages" with the New Arrivals cartridge. The baby bottle is the "daddy's" advice book with advice cards filled out by other daddys. The Onsie Advice book is for the new Mommy to Be! We placed these cards on tables during the shower so people could fill them out as they enjoyed the shower.

I then cut the back and front for each book with chipboard, covered it with cardstock and embellished.

What a great keepsake to hand down through the generations?

Baby Shower Bouquets

Hi Everyone,

So I had another busy week and weekend. As soon as my kids' party was over, I moved on to the next project. WE just had a baby shower this past weekend for my Sister In Law. She is having a little boy in November. I created two bouquets to serve as decoration to her sign in table!

All the cuts are made from the New Arrivals Cartridge, I cut mulitple layers and glued the skewers in between layers to make the project look clean from the front and back!
