Onesie

The friends that DD15 babysits for welcomed a new daughter into the world yesterday, so I set to this morning and made a onesie card for baby Delilah.

Materials used:

• stamps - Baby Bundle
• card - pretty in pink, whisper white, pretty in pink patterned paper
• other - ovals framelits, Big Shot, strawberry slush frilled ribbon, neutrals candy dots, Timeless Type alphabet die, markers

The pattern for the onesie came from here and I printed mine at 125% scale. Being a bit large for a regular envelope, I naturally had to make my own using the EPB (my new BFF).

Thanks for dropping in.

Cheers

Edited to add: Someone on SC asked for ideas for a boy onesie and an idea popped into my head. This is the result - a onesie card for a baby boy, especially one born in winter.

Materials used:

• stamps - Baby Bundle
• card - soft sky, very vanilla, crushed curry, Sweater Weather dsp 
• other - marker, ruler, square framelits, Big Shot, neutrals candy dots

My New BFF

I've been having a play with the Envelope Punch Board and watching videos by other talented crafters and am totally in love with this new toy. At this time of year especially - or at any time when you need gift boxes and bags - this tool is worth its weight in gold!

Here are the samples I've been making to show my ladies:

• box made from 12" x 12" card (from tutorial at this link)

Materials used:

• stamps - Merry Little Christmas
• card - real red, garden green, very vanilla, retired dsp
• other - Envelope Punch Board, chalk talk framelits dies, Big Shot, retired polka dot ribbon, dimensionals

• same box made from 9" x 9" card 

Materials used:

• stamps - Snow Swirled
• card - crumb cake, cherry cobbler, whisper white, Season of Style dsp
• other - EPB, gift bow die, Big Shot, decorative label punch, dimensionals

• and again from 6" x 6" card 

Materials used:

• stamps - More Merry Messages
• card - cherry cobbler, old olive, whisper white, Season of Style dsp
• other - EPB, Big Shot, scallop circle punch, 1" circle punch
• non SU - rosette die, hot glue gun

Here's a shot of the three boxes together so you can see the proportions:

• folded gift bag made from 12" x 12" dsp (from tutorial at this link)

Materials used:

• card - In Colour patterns paper (crisp cantaloupe)
• other - EPB, pansy punch, Victoria lace ribbon, crop-o-dile, calypso coral bakers twine, very vintage designer button, bone folder, dimensionals

• then I took the same dimensions as the bag but used card instead, adapted the lid a little and turned it into a box with a belly band

Materials used:

• card - old olive, cherry cobbler, retired Xmas dsp
• other - Big Shot, dimensionals, rhinestones
• non SU - poinsettia dies, marker

• another box made from 7 1/2" square of card (from tutorial at this link)

Materials used:

• card - coastal cabana, Winter Frost dsp, silver glimmer card
• other - snow flurry die, Big Shot, dimensionals

I know there are oodles more too - you just have to Google it or YouTube it to find tons; I'll get around to that after Xmas. Oh, and did I forget to mention it also makes 66 different sized envelopes?

Soooooooooo, if you haven't got one of these yet, I am kind of wondering WHY NOT?!! lol!

Thanks for stopping by.
