Baby Logan Diaper Cake

It must be that time of the year!  I went to another baby shower recently and this was the gift that I took.  I'm really happy with the way this cake turned out.  This was the first time I added the name to the cake.  Nice touch, huh?  (It helps to KNOW the name prior to the shower!)  I think I'm going to add the name or some words from now on.  It's so easy to do with my Big Shot! 

Here's the diaper cake all wrapped up.  My daughter was so excited to walk in to the baby shower with this gift.  She even wanted to carry it.  :)

 

I made a quick card to go with the gift.  Very easy and matches everything else.  Gotta love that!

Double Peek-a-Boo Card - Convention 2012 WOW Swap

Here it is!  My twist on the card shown here.   I made about 20 of these to swap at Convention this year.  I got the GREATEST reaction when I showed how the card worked.  That made me SO happy!  :)
Sorry for the blurry picture - I used a technique that I've been dying to try and the glitter didn't photograph so well.  I learned the technique at the Albuquerque Regional that Stampin' Up! had here last Fall (2011).   Put a small gob of Dazzling Details in a container and add a few drops of reinker (I used the lid of a package of brads).  Mix with a toothpick and then paint!  Easy Peasy!  I used Daffodil Delight reinker since that was the color of ribbon I had and it worked will with the Ducks.

 

Here's is the card as it's being opened...

 And here's the inside when it's fully opened!

Easy Events Baby Card

Baby cards are sometimes hard to make in advance...unless you make them completely neutral.  That is what I did with this card.  It's a very simple layout, with very neutral colors AND lays flat for mailing.  Another card from my card class that has actually came in handy for myself!  I love it when that happens.  :)

My monthly card class is meeting this Thursday (6/28) evening.  Contact me if you'd like more information about attending.  You can get the class free with an order placed that evening (min $20).  That includes 9 cards with envelopes!

Diaper Cake

A very dear friend of my family had her baby over the weekend. How exciting! Her baby shower was last month and since I love to make diaper cakes this is what she got for her gift. I used the super easy tutorial found here.

I made it to match her baby shower invitations (which I helped her design). She didn't know the gender of the baby, so she went with bright colors. Actually, the design and colors of everything was based off of the plates she bought for the shower!


And of course, a matching card. Isn't it cool how the Daisy die kinda matches the design on the plates?
