Baby Dresser Cards

 Hello Crafty Friends, today I want to share with you some sweet baby cards I made.

First I created the Baby Dresser Card for a boy (SVG, Silhouette). 

I then decided that I loved it so much that I would make a girl version of the card. To do this I changed the little boys romper in the file to the dress from the Baby Girl Dress Card (SVG, Silhouette). To get the size I simply pasted the file on the same page & used the original romper as a guide.

Supplies:

Paper: AC Cardstock

SVG File: Lori Whitlock - Baby Dresser Card (SVG, Silhouette)

Baby Girl Dress Card (SVG, Silhouette)

Accessories: Doodlebug Design Gold Sprinkles & pearl stickers from my stash.

Baby Bottle Shaped Shaker Card

 Hello Crafty friends, today I want to share how I made this adorable Baby shaker card!

The file for my project today is the Baby Bottle Shaped Card (SVG, Silhouette).

I opened my file in Silhouette studio & took the bottle panel of my file, (coloured in white in my pic), & made a copy so that I now have 2. 

 

One will be used to create a frame for my shaker by making an internal offset & the other I will use to cut a sheet of acetate for the shaker window.

I created an internal offset of 0.450 on one of them. You can now put the other, (for the acetate), without the offset to the side. I have slightly enlarged my card so the offset measurements may vary depending on the size of your card. I just kept playing with mine till I got it to the desired size.

 

 I then copy & pasted this to fill my page. I was able to fit 4 in total. I cut out 12 pieces of this panel. These are to create the frame for your shaker. You only keep the outside frame. The insert is not needed. You will only need to cut 1 frame if you prefer to create the window frame with foam tape. I prefer this way as I find them much sturdier. I then cut out another of the same panel using the printed paper to make the top printed panel. This time keep both the frame & inside cut. Once I cut out all my pieces the first step was to glue the frame together by layering carefully my 12 pieces. 

How thick the layer will depend on the type of shaker confetti you use inside. My shaker balls where a little raised & I wanted them to move freely in my card.

Next I glued together my top panels onto the front of my bottle panel & also glued down the shaker frame I created onto the bottom part.

I wanted some embellishments as well as sprinkles in my card, so I adhered some cute stickers on the inside panel first. 

Once my stickers were in place I took the panel & glued it inside my frame. This should fit perfectly. Then I added my tiny balls. You can use any sprinkles in your stash. I wanted mine to look like milk inside the bottle that is why I chose the white balls. Next I gave my acetate a light brush of powder on the side I was going to glue down so that it is not static. I then glued the acetate to the frame. I let it dry before the next steps. Acetate takes a little longe to dry & not so instant as paper. Once the acetate was dry I glued on top the printed panel frame. Lastly I glued down my complete bottle panel onto the front of the card frame.

I added a sticker with sentiment on top to finish off!

Supplies:

Paper: Doodlebug Design - Bundle of Joy

SVG File: Lori Whitlock - Baby Bottle Shaped Card (SVG, Silhouette).

Accessories: Doodlebug Design Shakers - Lily White Balls & stickers.

Baby Girl Dress Card

   Hello Crafty friends, today I want to share how I made this adorable Baby Girl Dress card (SVG, Silhouette).

I wanted to enlarge the card so I enlarged all my pieces at the same time by dragging the curser until the base of the dress card was large enough & fit inside the cutting perimeter. This will give me a card that will fit into a 6x6 envelope.

  I wanted to have a strawberry theme so I took some elements from the Lori Whitlock Strawberry Basket with Strawberry file (SVG, Silhouette). To get a visual I dragged them onto my dress. I kept the strawberry & flower the original size then reduced the vine to fit.

 I also reduced 1 more flower & cut it twice to create the buttons.

I like to make an insert for my cards. I find this also helps to keep my card a little sturdier considering there are more layers on the front. To do this I created an internal offset distance of 0.125 applying the sharp corner. 

I then cut out all of my pieces & glued all my panels into place. 

This card was so easy & fast to put together! Even with the extra strawberry elements.

I hope you liked my card today.

Paper: Doodlebug Design - Petite Prints

Tool Themed Baby Boy Overall Card

  Hello Crafty friends, as you may recall, last week I created a Baby Themed Lion Overall card for the Lori Whitlock blog hop! I had so much positive feedback that I even got a request to create another with a different theme for a little boy's 2nd Birthday! Therefore for my project today I want to share with you the same Baby Boy Overall Card file (SVG, Silhouette), in a different theme. 

The recipient loves anything to do with vehicles & tools just like his Daddy, so I came up with the idea of adding the tools from the Tool Box Father's Day A2 card file (SVG, Silhouette).

I enlarged the shirt, overalls, shoulders straps & a pocket from the overall file enough that the shirt fit fully on the page in my Silhouette program. For this card you can see I have only used one of the pockets & placed it in the centre. By enlarging my card just a little it allows more space for my tools to be placed without looking crammed. This creates a card approx 4 5/8 x 5 7/8. I will use a 5x7 envelope. 

Next I drew white stitches using a white gelly roll no.10 marker. Then I glued my overall elements except for the pocket. I then cut & put together my tools from the Toolbox Fathers Day card. I used some silver metallic cardstock as well to make them look more realistic. I did not alter the size of the tools & used the original sizes. 

I then carefully arranged my tools using the pocket as a guide before glueing everything down. I did have to snip some of the tools from the bottom so that they sat better & didn't overlap creating a bulky look in the pocket.

I finished off by glueing some buttons from my stash & adding a black enamel dot to the pliers.

I love how this turned out! I hope I have inspired you to give this a try & would love to see what other Lori Whitlock files you can combine for your creations using the Baby Boy Overall card. 

Supplies:

Paper: Doodlebug Design - Petite Prints

SVG File: Lori Whitlock - Baby Boy Overall Card (SVG, Silhouette)

SVG File: Tool Box Father's Day A2 Card - (SVG, Silhouette)

Accessories: Doodlebug Design Sprinkles, Buttons.

Beary Awesome Day - Mini Scene Creator

 Hello Crafty Friends, I have another card to share with you today from the new release over at  Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios.  The new release consists of 6 Animal Greetings mini scene creators. Each stamp can be used on its own to create a fun scene or mix them up to make a fun, interchangeable, completely different scene altogether.

 Today I have used the "Beary Awesome Day" mini scene for my card. 

I thought this image is so adorable that it would make the perfect baby card. This card was easy to make. Once I worked out the space & areas I wanted my images on, I printed the image directly on my card. I used part of the sentimenT for the word "little one" from another stamp in this collection called "Hoppy Birthday Bunny". I then shaded my die cuts & glued them down. I also used a stitched die which I thought would be a cute touch behind my little bee that leaves a heart shaped trail. Lastly I added some sprinkles to embellish. I then stuck my card face onto a 5 x 7 yellow cardstock base to create the border.

Copics:

Bear: B00, B01, B02, E40, E41, E42, E43, E44, E77, R30

Bees: Y35, Y38, C7, C8
