Welcome baby Noah

Yesterday my cousin gave birth to a beautiful baby boy named Noah. Both mother and baby are happy and healthy and we are all so glad that Noah is finally here.

 

 

Below is the card that I made for my cousins baby shower back in June.

 

To make this card I cut 2 dark blue onesies from the Cricut Life is a Party Cartridge (pg. 29) on the BASE layer, and then using the BASE SHIFT I cut one layer in white and 2 in light blue .

 

I adhered the white layer to one of the dark blue pieces and then glued only the top edges (the shoulder pieces) together with the other blue piece to make a flip up card.

 

I ran the light blue piece through my swiss dots cuttlebug folder and adhered it to the front of the card.

 

I chose to use another image on the front of the onesie instead of the duck that cuts out with it. I found the boat on the Baby Steps Cartridge (pg. 55) and I only cut the Layer 1 pieces.

 

I then added 3 small buttons (from favorite findings) to the bottom for a more finished look.

 

On the inside I cut the remaining light blue onesie so that only a 'diaper' shape was left and added 2 pieces of washie tape to either side in a coordinating color. I placed so foam take along the sides and bottom of the 'diaper' piece so that a gift card would slide into the pocket.

My Best Friend's Wedding

Today my best friend got married and I was lucky enough to be able to be her maid of honor. Everything was beautiful and elegant especially the Bride! I am so happy that they have found each other and I wish them all the luck, wishes and happiness in the world. 

 

 

 I ended up making 2 different cards for her, one for the actual wedding gift and one for the bridal shower. The idea for both cards I found on Pintrest. And, both cards are super easy and can be whipped together in just minutes.

The hearts for this card were cut from the George and Basic Shapes Cartridge and the bow for the groom was cut from the Doodlecharms Cartridge. Pearls down the "back" of the dress help to establish that the white heart is the bride and a few black rhinestones really bring out the look of the tux.

This card was made from a phrase that came from the DCWV Everlasting Love Paper Stack, and it was placed on a background that I ran through my cuttlebug. With this card you can use just about any embossing folder and it would turn out elegant and gorgeous.

 

 CONGRATULATIONS HEATHER AND RYAN!!
