Baby Shower Gifts

My niece is expecting a baby girl in September. Yesterday was her baby shower and I made a couple of gifts for her. This first item is actually designed to be a 3D card that folds up for mailing. I decided to use it as a gift topper instead. The file is from Keepsakes by Design (3D New Baby Crib Card). I used pink Stickles on the words baby and girl and black Stickles for the bear's nose. The pink gems are from Creative Charms. I used my Country Foliage embossing folder on the rug and the blanket inside the crib.




Here is the view from above so you can see the embossing better.




This next project uses two files from Sharon at RS Mobleys Designs (New Arrival Baby Stork & It's a Boy / Girl Banner). The patterned papers are from K & Company (BW Small Wonders Girl Paper Pad). The pink circles frame was cut at about 10.5". My cutter only cuts about 8" wide so I split the file in half to cut it. The seams get covered up by the ribbon and the flowers. I used the Swiss Dots embossing folder on the pink triangle part of the banner and added some silver eyelets for the ribbon to get threaded through. The stork and the banner are adhered with pop dots. The layered flowers are from my stash and I added a cute brad in the center.




Here is a closeup of the banner.




The baby shower was a lot of fun and the gifts were a huge success. My niece even got a little teary, although it doesn't take much to get misty-eyed when you are pregnant. LOL



Thanks for stopping by!
