baby shower cards

So I survived my first night as a tiger cub den leader!  We had a lot of fun.  We didn't end up doing the masks so I'll save them for next week or some time.  But they did do their scrapbooks and we played a lot of games etc.

So to finish off the presents that I made for the 2 people having babies I made 2 of these super easy but cute bib cards (seen at the bottom under the flower cards-why did I not take a pic of them by themselves???).

The bib card has all the pieces you need and does girl or boy cards (the inset options are a flower a butterfly or a car (bib card #12170).  I cut it out of plain paper with the cut out and had the sketch pen write congratulations where the hole would be (I layered the top over the right side like it would be to check my area.  Then I cut the card front out of scrapbook paper and the flower etc out of white and colored them with markets and used a brad to fasten them.  It took literally 5 minutes to make 2 cards.  So much cheaper!

baby shower gifts continued-super cute onesie!

So this is the onesie that matches the burp cloth I showed you a couple days ago.  I love, love, love this onesie.  It was for a friend of mine who is having a baby girl.  I just love, love, love elephants...

The "E is for" is heat transfer vinyl.  You might want to learn a lesson from me and make the letters thicker.  One of these days I'll learn!  The elephant is fabric that I ironed onto heat n bond.  It is then hand stitched on.  I used black paint (paint pen) around the ear and eye and for the toenails.  I did remove the toenails from the original image (ungrouped the image until I could remove them).  The water drops I enlarged and then cut out of clear contact paper and used a purple paint pen on.

The mom to be LOVED this onesie! I do to.  Almost enough to have baby #3.  NOT!  

baby shower burp cloths

The next part of my baby shower gifts were burp cloths made of a mixture of medium.  For the first ones used a 3d layered flower and tried to do layers of paint.  I cut them out of clear contact paper and painted using paint pens I have.  I edged them in black paint.  I only did one side of the burp cloths so that the side next to the baby doesn't have paint on it.

For the sailboats I made the sails out of cloth that I bonded to heat n bond.  I cut the sailboat (#26814) out of contact paper and my 4 year old and I painted them.  I cut out the wave pattern (4 piece wave #9589)
out of contact paper and painted that as well

The last one is my favorite.  The E and the elephant are cut out of fabric and the water drops are cut out of contact paper that I painted.  I cut the words "is for" is cut from vinyl and ironed on.  I hand sewed around the elephant and the E (and the sails for the sailboat).  This project didn't take very long and ended up in some very cute projects.  The mommies to be seem thrilled!  Come back tomorrow to see the matching onesie to the elephant burp cloth.

baby shower gifts

My brother and his wife are expecting baby #1 and a friend of mine is having her 4th baby so I've been making baby gifts recently.  The first type are made from the printable Avery iron on stuff that I used yesterday on the happy camper shirts.  My brother and his wife are book lovers so I made some book-ish onesies for them.
