Baby Buggy - CottageCutz

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Today I have a cute baby card for you using the Baby Buggy, Best Wishes, and Fancy Floral Lace Border CottageCutz Dies from The Scraping Cottage.

To make my card, I started with a square 4 1/4" white card base and added a piece of Fancy Floral Lace Border cut with light green paper (Chick-a-doo from S.E.I) to the bottom.  I cut a light green mat (3 1/2" x 4 3/8") and an embossed white mat slightly smaller and glued them together.  I folded Baby Pink Seam Binding in half, wrapped it around the bottom of the mats and glued it in place.  I then added the mats to the card with pop dots just above the border.

The Best Wishes Die was cut with the light green paper and glued to the mat as pictured.  The Baby Buggy Die was cut with white, light green, and a flowered designer paper from Nana's Nursery - Baby Gift Paper from DCWV.  I shaded the white pieces of the buggy body with Pixie Dust VersaMagic Ink and  glued all the pieces together as shown using a mixture of the light green and flowered papers.  The buggy was added to the card with pop dots.  I added a larger flower to the buggy with Diamond Stickles in the center.  I made a triple loop bow and added a smaller flower with White Opal Liquid Pearls added to the center.

These are the dies I used.

Card Recipe:

Paper: White (Recollections), Chick-a-doo (S.E.I.), Nana's Nursery - Baby Girl (DCWV)
Ink: Pixie Dust (VersaMagic)
Accessories: Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder (SU), Bow-Easy Tool, Baby Pink Seam Binding (Really Reasonable Ribbon), Diamond Stickles, White Opal Liquid Pearls (Ranger).

Graphic 45 Baby Gift Set

Hi there!

Today I have a baby gift emsemble that I have been working on to give to a dear friend.  There is a tri-shutter card, chipboard mini album, and matching gift box to hold the album.  These are made with the Graphic 45 Little Darlings Papers and Chipboard Tags.  (You can click on the photos for a closer look.)




The card is made using the tri-shutter tutorial on SCS here. 

The mini album was created based on the Little Darlings Mini Album Project Sheet on the Graphic 45 Website here.  The base for the album is just an inexpensive chipboard album from Michaels that measures 5" x 6 1/2".  Here is the front cover decorated with the papers, chipboard tag, and lots of ribbons and trims:

Here are the inside pages which show the pockets for tags, photos, and/or journalling.  I made die cut pieces in different shapes and added some chipboard tags and cute photos taken from the papers.

 

 

 

 

 

The back cover:

This is the gift box I created for the album to be kept in.  I used a basic box making technique, adjusting measurements to fit the album.  This shows the box closed up with the ribbon on it that slides off.

This shows the box without the ribbon on it.

Products used:

Stamps: God's Blessings (Stampin' Up)
Paper: Little Darlings Collection (Graphic 45), Natural White (Neenah), Baja Breeze (SU), Coral (DCWV), Dark Caribbean Coral (Color Mates)
Ink: Vintage Photo Distress Ink (Ranger)
