Baby Shower Favors & Free File Link

Happy Thursday crafty friends,

This week at Pazzles is baby week. It was my turn to share so I created this super cute baby shower paper favor set I used my Pazzles Inspiration and some wonderful Pazzles craft room files.

Here’s a look at the set. It is a pair of baby booties and a little hot air balloon treat holder.

For the booties, I used the cute little baby bootie file in the party collection set to create the adorable bootie favors. This downloadable CD set from Pazzles is chock full of all sorts of super fun party idea files. I used some Die Cuts With A View papers from the baby girl stack. I simply added some lace and pearls around the bottom and pretty flower with gem for the "snap". I filled it with some candy kisses and they were ready to go!

For my hot air balloon favor, I used the free berry basket file (limited time from Pazzles) for the base. I hot glued two bamboo skewers to the sides of the basket and then inserted them into the balloon. The balloon is from the On the Move Hot Air Balloon file. Again, I used the same DCWV baby girl stack for the papers as well as the baby boy stack for the yellow gingham paper. I added the word baby to the banner with some paper studio flowers and some May Arts ribbon and it was done. I did cut two balloons out so the back of the balloon would look like the front. This also made it easy to sandwich the balloons onto the skewers. Lastly, I added some colored crocheted lace and some May Arts Pearl & lace ribbon around the top of the basket, added another flower with gem from Paper Studio and filled it with some candy kisses.

One last look at the complete project.

Sunshine Bendi Card

Hello crafty friends,

So glad you dropped by today. Boy this has been a last crazy week and a half. I have been struggling with lots of computer issues. I am glad to say that I have at least regained use of my blog writing software and that I can now concentrate on some other issues and then get past those too   Today I wanted to share a card I made for the Pazzles DT. The challenge on the Pazzles craft room this month is to create a Bendi Fold card. Here’s my take on this super fun card.

Here is a look at my finished card. It was created with papers from the DCWV Baby Boy Stack and the DCWV Cotton Bloom Stack as well as some cardstock. I started by using the Pazzles small Bendi Fold Card Base. I took one of the “arms” and substituted it for the dog and fence file. I also made the top of the other “arm” layer wavy.

Here is a closer look at the pretty little sun. I was speaking with my Sister in law a while back and they recently moved out of state and she said to me…send some sunshine our way….so that is why I went with this theme. So “T” this is for you The sun is made from patterned papers in the DCWV Cotton Bloom Stack.  I just made the eyes and the now in the file bigger and drew my mouth on with a fine tip pen.

I then used the tree file from the craft room and cut it out of some dcwv paper in the baby boy stack. I added a few tiny butterflies from my MS punch that was quickly and easily accessible. I cut out some clouds from the rainbow and clouds craft room file and inked the edges with some crystal blue ink from the Whimsy Ink Pad Set.

Here is a closer look at the fence. I created it by using the dog and fence craft room file instead of the base cut that came in the small base bendi file.

I wanted to use some of that popular “wood” looking patterned paper, but I didn’t have any that suited the cut well so I used some diaper paper from the DCWV baby boy stack….YEP that’s right….DIAPER PAPER. That is what gave it that great “wood” painted with lines kind of look.

Here’s a shot showing you the cuts from the diaper paper. Of course I will save the rest for another project, but I hope this will inspire you to look at your paper differently.

Here is a view of the card opened. There was a great open spot that I was able to put my sentiment on. I could have really gone wild decorating this card. But I purposely wanted to keep it really clean and simple.

Here is a closer look at my sentiment. One of the wonderful things about the Pazzles Inspiration software is that it allows you to print right from the program. This is a great design tool-feature in that you know exactly what size to make your sentiments, etc.
