BABY GIRL SHOWER DRESS CARD

A friend asked me to make a baby shower card, so this was the perfect time to try a new design with a file I purchased from SVGAttic, to use with my Cricut Explore.  And..there's a fun baby challenge going on over at Tombow, so I'll be linking up to that as well. 

The dress file, is actually from a Communion set.  I simply removed the elements I didn't want to use, and designed this to resemble a little baby spring dress.  

To piece this together, I cut all my elements on heavy white cardstock, with the exception of the smock which is from the DCWV Quince Blossoms 12x12 stack.  The sweet decorative ribbon is from May Arts Ribbon and has 3 layers of the 

1" single faced satin ribbon; a flat strip, a rolled strip and the coordinating bow.  The gemstones were applied with my Tombow mono aqua glue and I used my Tombow Xtreme adhesive runner to secure everything else.    I love that this is a stand-up card.  The sides fold and you can write on the backside of the card.  I plan to add a removable panel with a special sentiment, should the mother want to remove for framing....

just as soon as my friend gets it to me!

 Dimensions: 4" x 5.25" 

 

Additional supplies:   Thermoweb lines (under rolled ribbon strip), 

Studio G adhesive gemstones

Growing in Unity - Day 2

Welcome to day 2 of my stint as the GIU (Growing in Unity) girl.  I'm showing you my creations all week long and if you comment every day on my blog post, you'll be entered into a random drawing for 25 random stamps from the Unity Stamp Company.  Wowza, 25 stamps!  

Who wouldn't love that?!  2 winners will be selected.

This sweet card was built around one of my favorite Unity Sentiments by the lovely artist, Phyllis Harris.  The set is called "Before I Met You Tiny Dancer".   I actually received it in a grab bag....so see?  Those random stamps are pretty cool.   You'll see several projects from me this week with Love as the theme.  This card could be used romantically for Valentine's Day, a romantic celebration, or even a baby shower.

I wanted to build a beautiful backdrop and have you zero in on the sentiment, so I started by cutting a lace heart, just under 6" with my Cricut Explore.  If you don't have a die-cutting machine, use a large pink heart shaped doily as a nice substitute.  Next, I cut a smaller heart on white chevron cardstock and used my blending tool to blend in some Colorbox ink around the edges.

The lace heart and sentiment are the shining star to the floral backdrop from Graphic 45.  I embellished the heart with Pretty Pink Posh sequins glued with Stickles Firefly glitter glue and a silk May Arts Ribbon bow finishes everything, with a purple rhinestone.  I left the inside blank as this card could be used for a number of occasions.

Come back tomorrow for more Unity inspiration! Don't forget to leave a comment here so you can qualify for the random drawing.  And for a shameless plug, I'd love if you would come and like me on FB: http://www.facebook.com/wavingmywand because when I get to 500 likes, I'm having a big giveaway!

Baby shower card for a boy

If you are new to card making,  I have an easy card for you to make.   I layered this basic white card with a yellow piece of cardstock.   Take a 2'' hole puncher and punch a piece of paper or use a template if you have one.   I placed my circle  template centered over the card and blotted inside the circle with blue Colorbox ink.    Let your ink dry before stamping your chosen image in black.   Add a piece of ribbon and you are done! 
Tip:  Use a heat embossing tool to quickly dry the ink.
