Sweet Baby Girl

Our friend, Jessica, is having a baby girl very soon. I purchased a few baby goodies for her and loved creating this card and gift bag to surprise her. Who says that a plain brown gift bag needs to be plain? I scanned the baby card image onto cream cardstock. I collect vintage cards, postcards, and photos from auctions and thrift stores. This beautiful baby card is just adorable and printing it onto cardstock gives it a soft feel. I layered it with cream and pink cardstock, decorated the edges with my Fiskar's punch, added lace and ribbon, and added some sparkle with my fav Stickles, Icicle. I used 2 white tulle circles tied with ribbon to decorate the bottom of the bag. I created a similar design for the card. Cards and gift bags that use your favorite card images can be created for any holiday. Try decorating with sequins, paper streamers, and coffee filters, too. Anything goes. I used my ATG glue gun to adhere the paper. For heavier items such as buttons, lace, and bows, I like to use my hot glue gun. Just imagine how happy your loved ones will be to see a beautifully decorated gift waiting for them :) Have a fantastic week!
