For this blog hop, I created two baby cards featuring the cutest baby images, I did some stenciling and paper piecing, and made two see-through shaker rattles. So fun!


I cut two 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panels that I colored using the Baby Words stencil along with oxide inks. On the first panel, I applied salvaged patina on one half and shabby shutters on the other half, and then with the stencil I applied peacock feathers and mowed lawn for a tone on tone look. On the second panel, I applied spun sugar on one half and cracked pistachio on the other half, and then with the stencil I applied worn lipstick and lucky clover for a tone on tone look as well.

I splattered water on both panels and dried them using a paper towel. I mixed the same oxide inks with water and used a small brush to make more splatters, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink.


Next I stamped all my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and my Graph'it brush markers. For the first card, I went for a green, aqua, yellow and teal color palette, and for the second one, I went for a dark pink, light pink, aqua and teal color palette.

For the elephants, I first stamped them on the same white cardstock using the same black ink. Next I stamped them on pattern papers, fussy cut them, and then attached them on the blank elephants. And I used light gray markers to add shadows to both elephants.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used:  Baby Basics for most of the images  Jungle Friends for the elephants  Lucky for the rainbows


I attached my images on both panels using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, leaving enough space for my "Welcome little one" greetings from Baby Basics that I white heat embossed on dark gray cardstock, trimmed into slim banners using a Sentiment Strips die, and attached below the "Baby" cubes using 1mm foam squares again. I applied a little bit of white blizzard nuvo drops on the hearts to make them shine, added some white hearts from the Colorful Hearts Clay Confetti pack here and there, and finished my card by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.

The see-through Baby Rattle Shakers were made following the same steps. The only difference is that I put Spring Breeze shaker beads inside the first one, and Sweet Dreams shaker beads inside the second one.


Here is the process for one shaker rattle:
1. Cut two handles and glue them together to make one sturdy handle
2. Cut a whole circle out of acetate, cut a circle frame, and glue that frame on the acetate circle
3. At the back of that acetate circle, add foam strips all around the circle
4. Pour shaker material on the acetate circle
5. Cut another whole circle out of acetate, and stick it to the foam strips to close the shaker
6. Cut another circle frame, and stick it to that acetate circle (to finish the back of the shaker nicely)
7. Trim the handle (or not, it depends on how long you want the rattle to be)
8. Stick the handle at the back of the circle shaker, and add decorations
