Baby Shower Gift Bag & Tag

Sunday was my niece's baby shower.  A bouncing baby boy should be making an appearance soon...so I'll be a great aunt...I mean...I'm a great aunt already (as in a wonderful out of this world fantastic aunt.)  This will make it official! 

I picked up this cute onsie at Kohl's on Saturday. 

Guess I could stamp "GREAT" in front of that aunt...in Stazon using Stampin' Up! Family Reunion.  Hmmmm....

Carter's and in my FAVORITE COLOR!  Am I awesome or what?  I can toot my horn some more and say it only costed me 6 FRNs.  :-D  Not much green for all that green.  LOL  I love it!

OH.  The baby shower gift bag and tag.  Ahem.  Let's see...

Store bought bag...I'm gonna miss it. 
Faux blue jean bag complete with a pocket!

The bag is full of ca-ute baby clothes.  Baby clothes are so cute.  Mom told me to go get a baby doll.  LOL.

Tag close up. Says at the top...
"It started with a kiss and ended like this."

Gotta hold it together somehow.

Decorating Onesies

The stamp set I wanted for the inside of the card arrived - SU!'s Little Additions.  Now I can start putting together:

Die cut images from PTI's It's a Jungle Out There.

Onsie die cuts.

Die cut card bases.

Notice each onsie has a different main color.   I had added a sticky note to each onsie noting the coordinating color I wished to use for ink.

First up were the Pear Pizzaz duo - striped and polka dotted.  The paper is from the SU! Designer Series Patterns Pack In Color.

Here's some pics of the steps in creating these two cards...

Choose die cut - I chose the Giraffe.

Choose the die cut and select TWO colors.  The PTI set It's a Jungle Out There is a two step set.  My colors were Garden Green and Pear Pizzaz, a SU! Dynamic Duo!  They sound like Super Heros.  Maybe they are...hmmm...

Stamp the spots in Garden Green.

Stamp the body in Pear Pizzaz.

We'll fill in the blanks when the baby gets here!

Envelopes using PTI Bundle of Love.

There will be a bunch in different colors.  I'll post 'em as I get them done...in pairs...complete with envelopes! 

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a moo'valous day!

ETA:  These cards fit in a standard (card) size envelope. 

Quick Thank You

Just a quick post to show ya a quick thank you.

I am making thank you cards for ny niece's baby shower...I already had an idea in my idea book...then I hopped over to Nicole Heady's blog to check out the Stamp-A-Faire posts...and saw THIS challenge.

Clean, simple & quick!  Plenty of space for a personal note to be written inside. 

This was NOT my original plan, but did I mention, it was clean, simple & quick.  LOL.   I'm using supplies on hand - my new PTI Text Style Big & Bold Wishes and my new SU! Nursery Additions. 

Thanks for stopping by!  Have  moo'valous day!

Onsie Die Card Bases

It's been a couple of days...of no crafting time.  Wednesday, I shopped at Sam's after work; came home, packed all that in, put all that away, fixed supper, eat and was ready to bed.  Thursday, I shopped at Wal-mart after work, price matched oodles of stuff; came home, had the Dale pack all that in (hee hee), put all that away, fixed supper, eat and then was ready for bed.  Friday, I'm off!  YAY.  And I woke up at 1 AM with my sinuses dripping clear fluid.  Ick.  That set the stage for a low key Friday at home.  Forget the WHB, I'm stamping.  All day long...and had a nap, too. 

Remember the day I went nuts with the onsie die?  Those are going to be card fronts.  One of the projects I worked on Friday was cutting card bases for those onsies die cut card fronts.

Close-up of a single card base

I cut up 12 x 12 Whisper White cardstock.  Not really a biggie for me, as I rarely scrap a page with a white base.  Notice on the die, there'a a row of dots?

Fold line on the PTI Onsie Die

Here's what it looks like before it goes in the Big Shot.  Notice the measurements - cut my 12 x 12 to 12 x 5.5.  I saved the 1 inch strip - I have a project for that 1 inch strip.  I'm sure these are not the most CS efficient measurements; however, these are what I used.  One onsie will have a Pear Pizzaz base.

Onsie card base measurements

Here's my pile of scraps; I have already used these up.  I'll share those projects in the next post.

So, now I have the unembellished card fronts cut and card bases cut.  Next up is embellishing the card fronts.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a moo'valous day!

Going nuts with a onesie die

Yes...I went nuts with my Big Shot and my new PTI Onesie die!  I love the PTI dies...so thin...and sharp!  And, no...didn't cut my finger.  :-D  The Onesie die fits perfectly on the 6 x 6 paper packs from SU!  I have several...got them out and picked out prints I thought would look good made into a onesie.

After die cutting, I used a sticky note and wrote on the coordinating colors...I used the Welcome Neighbor DSP pack from the 2010 Sale-a-bration, the Patterns Pack III and the In-Color Patterns Pack (Hostess).  Here's a close up of each set.

I am looking forward to cutting the card bases tomorrow night!  Yippee!
