Jaded Blossom Monthly Challenge- Make Your Mark

Hi everyone! Today begins a new challenge on the Jaded Blossom blog and this months theme is "Make Your Mark" (Use pencils, markers, watercolors, inks). I'm using my favorite medium on this baby shower card... Copic markers :)

I started with an A2 card base. I cut out the stitched layer using the Card Mat Dies. The images are from the Little One stamps and I randomly stamped them across the layer to create a background. I colored them using Copics. 

I stamped and embossed the sentiment from the New Baby stamps onto the circle from the Stitched Circle Dies. The pink polka dot paper is from Doodlebug Design and I used the Scallop Circle Dies to add a layer. I added the little bow and flower bling from the Baby Dies.

For the inside I cut out an adorable onesie also from the Baby Dies and stamped this sweet sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you like my card. Be sure to stop by the Jaded Blossom blog for some inspiration and to join the challenge.

Baby Shower Wreath and Baby Gift Tag

Hello friends!! Today I have a couple things including a different type of project to share with you! I'm really excited about this because I tried something new and out of my comfort zone!! My next door neighbor is having her first baby and it is a girl!! She asked me about baby shower wreaths and wondered if I knew where she could get one that didn't cost a fortune. I did some research and thought, "I can make that!"  Well I gave it my best shot and it turned out to be a huge hit at the baby shower! 

Her nursery is safari themed with tan and brown accents. She liked the burlap look so I decided to give it a try. The wreath materials are all from Michaels. I chose to use the 5.5 inch rolls of the burlap mesh and double layer each loop.  The wreath turned out larger than I expected which is a good thing because our doors are so big!! The wreath frame I believe was 18 inches and the final wreath was about 24".

The little stuffed giraffe and elephant are 5 inch Gund baby rattles. I ordered them both on Amazon because the few shops I went to I couldn't find small safari animals. I made bows by layering some chocolate colored 4 inch burlap with the pink and white polka dot ribbon. The flowers came premade and attached to a clothespin. I hot glued them to the center. The sparkly little butterflies are attached to alligator clips and I just stuck them on and around the wreath. I bought the baby shoes at Marshall's for $5 and hot glued them together and to a clothespin, then clipped them on. 

The burlap chevron bow was so much easier than I thought it would be. They were selling them premade at Michaels and so I took pics and copied one to make my own. All in all I am thrilled that this turned out the way it did. I learned some new things and I'm ready to make another one. However this was not cheap!!! I think I paid more on supplies than the completed wreaths on Etsy cost. Most of the materials were regular priced items and Michaels only let's you use one coupon. So in the future I will be watching for sales and buying supplies with coupons little by little so I don't end up spending another small fortune, lol! My neighbor did appreciate this gift and I was happy to do it for her! It was a lot of fun!!!

Of course I had to buy some baby clothes too, lol! So after wrapping the box, I made a bow with the leftover ribbon and then made a gift tag.

The tag is an svg and stamp from the Craftin Desert Diva's Tag It stamp set. 

This came together so quickly! I added some ribbon to the tag base, hand cut out a heart from some pink burlap. I then stamped and colored this little baby from the CDD Bitty Blessings stamp set. The sentiment is from the Sugar and Spice Set. I stamped onto this wavy banner that I got on Design Space.  I added a little sparkle and bling to the bow and it was done.

Baby Boy Shower Card in a Box

Hi there my crafty friends! Today I have another Card in a Box that I made for an employee at my hubbies work. She is having her first baby and we couldn't be happier for her:) This card was a lot of fun to make and I thought it turned out super cute! Let me show you what I did....

First off I used a medium blue cardstock for the box. I went through all my paper stacks and decided to use this Debbie Mumm baby paper. The pattern has different shades of blue strips with different colored stitching. It is so cute. I thought about using an additional pattern but went with a lighter shade of blue cardstock instead, and used my Cuttlebug and Swiss Dots folder.

I used 3 Cricut cartridges for this design. First I cut the airplane and banner from the New Arrival cartridge. I used peach and green for the cut. The green coordinates with some of the stitching in the paper on the sides of the box.  I used 2 stamp sets to stamp It's a Boy! on the banner. They were from Pink By Design and Joys Life Stamps.  The clouds were from the Zooballoo cartridge. I love those clouds. I inked them with a skyblue colored chalk pad. I inked all the other cuts with the Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink.  

The adorable baby is from the Baby Steps Cartridge. He is the baby that is on the moon but I decided to use the airplane instead. The baby is cut at 2.25". Interestingly enough the cut size for this does not include the moon even though the moon is part of the main image. Usually the size you choose on the Cricut is for the height on the main image. But on my expression the 2.25 inch is exactly what the baby cuts out as so when you choose 2.25 inches the entire cut is almost 4 inches when you use the moon cut. I hope that makes sense. Anyway, I cut the teddy at 2 inches and the ducky at 2 inches (which is a cut that goes on a baby pin). I chose a green and blue plaid paper for the onesie, hat and teddy diaper.  I added a little stitching on the bears face. 

I used a vellum sentiment for the front flap and used some 3D stickers that I bought on HSN a couple years ago.  I did add the buttons to the wheels on the car and the pacifier to give it a little more dimension. I finished it off with a white ribbon and this is how it looks folded down flat.

I hope you like my card. It was so fun making it!  I will participate in the following challenges:
