I needed some small center pieces for the table when I did a small baby shower at my home and these worked great! What you see on this side of the card is also on the back side and they stood among shredded pink paper and scattered plastic safety pins (like anyone uses those now days) and it looked very cute!
Here are some measurements to create with:
-Score a 4.25 x 8.5Β piece of cardstock at 5.5Β and folded. Emboss each half separately.
- Nestabilites for the bib scallops, neck and leg holes.
-ItΒs helpful to secure the die with repositional tape.
-The neck opening is 1 3/8Β across the very top of the card and dips down Β½Β. The bib is 2Β from the top of the card.
-For the leg holes measure and mark with pencil 1Β from each lower corner towards the center of the card and 7/8Β in each directions from the corner. Place the die on the marks and cut.
-For the sleeves measure down 1 Β½Β from the top and Β½Β towards the center. I lined the ruler up to the Β½Β mark and tip of the leg hole and draw a cutting line and cut with the scissors.
-Make the scalloped lace by cutting the scallop then lining up the circle and cutting.
-Flatten the Swiss dots with a bone folder and glue the scallops in place.
-Punch the little hearts, flatten the dots and glue to the card.
-Memory Zots help hold the ribbon in place.
Some of the dots got smashed during my cutting process so I lined the card up on the folder and used a metal ball stylus to re-emboss.
Tools: Nestabilities, Cuttlebug and Swiss Dots embossing folder, Fiskars ΒΌΒ heart punch, ruler, cutting scissors, bone folder, metal ball stylus

Just beautiful! And thanks so much for the details on how to try to recreate it - so much classier than "see my blog"
Into my faves in hopes I get brave enough to give it a shot!

How sweet are these!!! I've also made the card before, using Lauren Meader's template, but I love that little floral bib you added! What a great idea to decorate both sides for a table decoration. I love your little heart "snaps" too!
