Baby Shower and lots of fun goodies!!!

I hosted a Baby Shower for my best friend last Friday with bunch of other ladies from our Church. It was so much FUN!!!! I'm so glad that my friend had a great time and loved her shower!!! :)

I love doing all the goodies for this shower. She is one of my very close and dear friends and I wanted to do something special.

I don't have a picture of the invitation BUMMER!!!! Forgot to take it before they all went out. But I have couple left and I'll have to get them back from the person that was giving them out and I promise to post it later for you all. I just think it turned out so cute!!! :)

One of the things that I did was a Baby Shower banner.











I cut the 12x12 card board that comes in the package with Creative Memories pages or page protectors in too 51/2x51/2 inches. Then I painted my squares with green acrylic paint from WalMart.

I used Accent Essentials cricut cartridge to cut the scalloped squares out of some baby yellow paper by Martha Steward. Size 5 inches but as a shadow.

The white scalloped squares are from the same cartridge and same size only not a shadow. Shadow cuts just little bigger then regular cut that gives you a mad for your shape. Before I cut the white card stock I stamped baby images on it with postal colors. You can see that on the up close photo of one of the letters.

I used Lyrical Letters cartridge for the title "Loop Dee Loo" font all in caps. Pink card stock.

Button Ornament.





For one of the games we did was "Guess how many buttons?"
I used a flower foam circle type to glue the buttons. I painted the foam circle on side pink and the other yellow with again acrylic paint. Postal buttons came from WalMart. I used fabric glue to glue the buttons down. I found that this glue worked better then the Aleene's tacky glue. Some pink ribbon and some decorative buttons that spelled out BABY!

I used 266 buttons on this ornament. :)

Goodie Treats:
I got this idea for these treats from this video "Sweet Scallop Pouch". I think this lady is awesome. She has so many great videos and tutorials to make all kinds of treat bags. Just great...



Used lots of pink paper. I don't have the big cutting shape that she is using in the video so I used my CCS circle (I'll have to check what number I used) traced it and then used my scalloped decorative scissors to cut the circle out.
I got 3 butter milk mints in the little baggies.

Card: "Baby Shower"

A dear friend of mine is having a baby in August. She is due with their third baby girl. She had asked me if I could do some cards for her for her baby shower. So I thought it would be a perfect gift to go through the mail. Seance she lives in North Carolina and I'm in Hawaii.... :)

So here is what I came up with!!! Lyuba I hope you'll like the cards. Wish we lived closer so I could attend your Baby Shower!!! May the Lord Bless you and your new baby girl!!! :) 3 girls are a lot of FUN!!!!!

I stamped the flowers on too the white card first then stamped the pink paper with a silver/brown pigment ink pad. The pink paper is embossed with some dots, got it like that from the craft store.





I didn't have enough of the pink paper so I used the left overs. But I still like the way it came out. This is what the card looks like with the smaller peace.






Used:
CTMH Rustic Flower stamp set.
Amercian Crafts "Baby" stamp set
CTMH Bubblegum and Garnet ink pads.
SU Classic Black ink pad
Pick pigment ink pad
Silver/Brown pigment ink pad

*Flowers
*Brads


Thanks for looking and I hope you liked the cards!!!! :)

Card: Baby Shower invitation...

I got to play with Hello Kitty stuff this week... :) actually yesterday...

One of my friends is doing a baby shower for one of her friends and had asked me to do the invitations. The theme is Hello Kitty as the soon to be mom LOVES Hello Kitty stuff and the nursery apparently is all in Hello Kitty stuff.

So I had to go on a search of what I could use. I ended up getting sizzix textured embossing folders... I loved the folders, so cute. But I got stock on how do I make them cute? How do I decorate embossing images. I googled, asked around, did more googling and didn't really come up with anything that I liked.

I then went to my favorite scrapbook store on the island and they have this really really cute baby onesie shape card. So cut the number that I needed. Came home and ran in too yet another problem. How am I to emboss the Hello Kitty now on to the card? The folders don't fit right in the middle of the card and the card will not go through my sidekick. Grrrr...

Well, not all is lost... me and my friends (good to have friends around things like this) thought of an idea. I had ripped the folders apart and used my dough roller to help me emboss the image. Yup! My arms were very very tired after that. But I'm so glad that I had to do only 12 cards. We then used CM liquid pen thing and sprinkled some glitter, tap with a finger shake it off and we got a sparkly Hello Kitty on the baby Onesie. Used some other baby stamps, ribbon and scrappers floss.

They turned out so CUTE! I loved it.

So anyways, here are some pics for you all too look at...

This is the whole card.

Can you tell the embossing part of the Kitty?
