Baby Shower!!!

So yesterday we had the surprise baby shower for my sister who is down visiting for a week and a half from Thunder Bay!!! It was awesome. She had no idea and was completely surprised. Ofcourse when she walked in and realized what was happening she started crying haha. It was a great time. Here are a few of the crafts we made for the shower.

These were the cards I had made for the gifts. The first one was the "What will it BEE??" Card. She doesnt want to know what she is having so I figured this card would work really well. I used bees on the outside and embossed the wings of the smaller bees to add some sparkle. On the inside I stamped the "What will it bee" with my clear stamps, and made a border around the inside of the card with "BZZZZZ........" just to add some more colour. I used chip borad letters and embossed them in the black and yellow.

The second card I made very gender equal haha. I divided the card in half so that I was able to make it both boy and girl. I used my cricut to cut out the shapes and again embossed it to add more texture and color and sparkle.

I made party favors and attached a label that was stamped by a "Hugs and Kisses" stamp. Under the stamp we write the saying "From baby Fountain" So the whole party favor said "Hugs and Kisses from Baby Fountain". We also made a "Bucket of Love". We cut out a whole bunch of baby shapes so that people could write loving messages or some advice for the parents to be.

I made a huge calender for the month of September (which was when the baby is due) so that people could make a guess of when the baby was to be born. I cut out little babies from my cricut and also little blue and pink outfits. People were to take a baby, glue the color of the outfit to the baby in which they thought the sex of the baby would be and then stick it to the day they think the baby will be born on. We also made a huge diaper cake made out of actual baby diapers. We stuck a bunch of baby products all around the cake as well.

Over all, this baby shower was a huge hit!!!!

My Recent Cards!

So I haven't updated my blog in what feels like forever!!! I have made some cards in the last few weeks, but have been so busy I havent been able to update here at all.

This is a card I had made for a friend who is pregnant. I used my Cricut to cut out the women and the "Congratulations". I embossed the "Congratualtions" and the shirt and hat to add some sparkle and fun to the card. She knew that she was having a boy so I also used my Cricut to cut out the little boy. I used the Cricut markers to trace out the little boy and to add hs facial features.

These cards were made for mothers day! I stamped out the images of the butterfly and the flowers and then used some chalk to colour them in. I also embossed the edges with clear embossing powder.
