Happy Saturday!
This card and frame are for my friend Stacey, her husband Brian, and their new little bundle of joy, Dylan.
I got the idea for the cradle card from Melanie’s blog. This card is super cute–it rocks like a cradle! You can view Mel’s card rocking here. I used lace rather than a scallop card stock border and added a Sizzix Teddy Bear. Besides the teddy bear looking cute, it balanced out the weight so the card rocked better.
The frame was so much fun to make. I got the idea for the frame from Anne. She owns the Compendium and I go there every summer when I am in Germany. The base of the frame is a 12 x 12 artist’s canvas that is decorated on the back side. The patterned papers are Bo Bunny. I cut Dylan’s name with a Colluzzle template. The teddy bears were made with a Sizzix die. The ones on the inside of the frame are card stock and I attached them with pop dots. The teddy bears on the outside border of the frame are sticky-back felt. How about that adorable onesie??? Lauren had the tutorial posted on her blog for a onsie card. I printed Dylan’s info on card stock using Word. I followed Lauren’s tutorial for the measurements, but my onesie is made with card board and card stock glued to both sides of it (it’s not a card). The little teddy bear on the onsie is a mini punch.
So, what do you think? Stacey was thrilled!
Thanks for stopping by. Until next time, happy crafting!
Note: I always buy sticky-back felt at Michael’s. I went to three Michael’s and one ACMoore looking for brown and/or tan sticky-back felt, and had no luck. I finally found brown at Joann’s. But, I will never buy their brand again. It is very flimsy compared to what Michael’s has.
Very cute! I love it! The baby is adorable! LOL
This is very cute – what a wonderful, thoughtful gift.
These are both such sweet projects. My favorite part is the onsie with the personalized info on it.
Wow Lisa how sweet and adorable I bet your friends loved them.
This is so cute, Lisa. They are both fab!!
Excellent cards and the designing so for. Especially in which when you are using used lace on a scallop card stock border.
