I don't know why the link cuts off at the end of the pictures. If you go to the top right hand side of her blog page you will see the search box (it's light blue) type in baby bottle and for me it brought up the page correctly. Scroll down to the stork card and the bottle directions and pic's are there below the stork card. I've copied and pasted her directions for the baby bottles.
YEAH Its Friday! That means Vanilla Bean Chiller and Kahlua for me tonight!
Sorry its been a rough week, and I deserve it
.
Thanks for all the wonderful comments on Alexa’s Dress. She loves when I read them to her. I cant tell you HOW MANY times she has made me sit and show her that video already.
The RSVP’s are rolling in-and Im freaking out! I have such high expectations for this party-I hope I can meet my own ideals. I think cause Alexa didnt get the party of her dreams last year the pressure is ON! LOL!
I also got alot of emails asking WHERE in MA I am from originally. Well we moved ALOT-but mainly Lowell, Chelmsford, Dracut, Tewksbury area! LOL!
Now to the post!
This week’s challenge was EMBOSSING! You dont realize all the method’s/types of embossing there really are!
In case you want to keep up with what I do for these, I added a Blogger’s Challenge to my categories. Every week we are given a challenge to do. We all TRY to post them on Fridays! You can easily play along-just link your creation here, or any of the others Blogger’s Challenge members (see sidebar).
So it seems like EVERYONE is having a baby. Maybe cause Im DONE having mine? So I really need some baby cards for the next few months. This challenge is perfect!
I have had this idea for quite some time. The execution of what was in my head, fell into place perfectly!
NO BABY THEMED STAMP SET? NO PROBLEM!
I decided to do dry embossing-FREE HAND! WAHOOOO!
bottles three Baby Bottles!
Are these not the cutest EVAH?! OMG! I LOVE THEM! And ya know what-the took about 12 minutes to make ALL THREE!!! HELLO! Holy awesome mass produced baby of any gender idea!
Here is a pic of each one-just click to view closer
blue yellow pink
The blue was the very first one I did. I did NOT like how I had the bottle lines go down to the bottom. So I put a stop to that on the next 2.
I got this way cute ribbon from American Crafts at Michaels. Sentiments are from So Many Sayings by SU.
I know you want to hear HOW I made these dont you?
EASY GIRLS!
Card fold is at top- bottle is 3 inches wide by 5 1/2 inches tall. This is from White cardstock
Use a ruler, and your embossing style to emboss (from the back) in straight and even lines. EASY!
Cut the banana cardstock 3 x 1 1/2. Round the corners
Use KEYTAG punch to pop out a “nipple” Cut it in 1/2 then you get 2!
If you used the Playtex bottles as I did then this is what a bottle looks like to you too!
Adhere the nipple behind the rounded corner end and adhere to top of card.
Cut a colored bottle “rim” 3 1/4 x 3/4. Use your embossing stylus to make the ridges. Just trace the top and bottom, and then make the lines.
Attach to bottom of nipple piece.
Wrap around ribbon, stamp sentiment of choice. DONE!
What do you think?
Now if I can only bring myself to actually mail these out instead of making a whole new card for my friends when their bundles arrive.
My good freind Tracey is due to POP any day. We dont know what she is having. Once she names the baby I told her I will make her a collage name frame for the new addition! So since I’ll be workin hard figured I could most likely get away with sending this one to her
Whatever she has! My guess is a boy!
We shall see.
Come back later cause its Saturday Sketch time! I made a card for a little girl who is also battling Cancer! So, you will see the sketch ,and get linked to her story. This card helped me get out of my FUNKY mood. What better way to recharge the mo-jo than to make a card for someone in need!
