Sweet Baby Girl Bottle Card and Diaper Bag by Aimee

Hello crafty friends! Aimee here with you today and I am so excited because this is my 1st Lori Whitlock blog post! I am still over the moon to be joining this team of amazing crafters and working with Lori’s amazing cuts!

Today, I am sharing this card/gift bag for a sweet baby girl. I used the Diaper Bag (here in the Silhouette Store) and the Baby Bottle Shaped Card (here in the Silhouette Store)  along with the beautiful new Lori Whitlock Sweet Baby Girl collection. We have had 2 new sweet baby girls born into the family within the past 3 months!

This card is just adorable and came together quickly! I had it put together within 5 minutes and then came the fun part of decorating it! Every piece of this card came from Sweet Baby Girl collection with the addition of some Doodlebug twine and button.

Same thing for this sweet little diaper bag…it came together quickly! I used small amount of glue to put the box together and to adhere the “diaper” pieces to the front, back, and sides, and then a couple of pearl brads to attach the handle. I don’t know of any mom who wouldn’t love to receive this sweet little set!

Hope you have enjoyed these projects, thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Rolled Flower Arrow Sign Tutorial with Brandie

Hi there crafty friends! Brandie here with a another sign tutorial.

One of my goals for this year is to complete several of my in process projects. I am guilty of starting several projects at once then not finishing them to start something else. Ha! I hope I’m not the only one!

This sign is one of those projects. I attended Pinners conference two year ago and purchased the kit to make this sign. For the longest time I only had the arrow painted on the wood. Yesh!  The original design included felt flowers that I did not like so being the paper loving girl I am I found some rolled flowers that are perfect.

I used Rolled Flower 30, Rolled flower 31, and Rolled flower 32. You can find them in Loris shop and in the Silhouette store.

I uploaded the flowers into Cricut Design space duplicated and resized them to have three different sizes.

I cut the flowers out of 65lb cardstock. I prefer the lighter cardstock for making flowers. I find it easier to work with. I started with the outside end and wound the petals toward the center circle. While still holding the flower I loosened my grip on the flower to let it out a little. I applied some hot glue to the circle then pushed the petals down on the glue. I then flared the petals out to create a more natural look.

I dry fit the flowers on the arrow first. I then glued the leaves on the flowers and then glued the flowers onto the arrow.

I have this sign as part of a gallery wall in my front entire. That’s it for me today.

Thanks for stopping by!
