baby bottle – Lori Whitlock

Hello everyone! Traci here and today, I’m sharing a fun baby bottle shaped mini album that I made using one of Lori’s brand new cutting files called Hidden Binding Mini Album Baby Bottle (SVG, Silhouette). It’s perfect for some favorite photos of your little sweetie, or … can be given it as a cute handmade gift.

You could use ANY paper collection and customize this album for a boy, a girl, or keep it gender neutral. For mine, I cut the base out of solid card stock in bubble blue, white, and lemon yellow. Then, I decorated it with a mix of pattern papers and embellishments from Doodlebug Design.

Just inside the cover, I added a little pocket that’s perfect for photos or … a gift card! I thought this mini album would make an adorable alternative to a greeting card and be a fun way to present a baby shower gift!

The album has 10 scrapbook pages (5 double-sided) and uses Lori’s hidden binding technique to secure the pages. It’s designed with plenty of space in between for layering papers, pop dots, and embellishments.

This would make such a sweet little brag book for mom, grandma, auntie, or an older sibling. What a fun way to share and celebrate your baby’s milestones and memories. I made my album approx. 4×5 inches so it’s the perfect small size.

Lori has designed many of these cute hidden binding shaped albums and I love them all! I’ve made the oven, suitcase, rectangle, apple, house, flower, telephone, and tag shape. So be sure to check those out for more fun project ideas.

I hope you’ll try Lori’s new Hidden Binding Mini Album Baby Bottle, and … have a great day! 😊

Hello Crafty friends, today I want to share how I made this adorable Baby shaker card!

The file for my project today is the Baby Bottle Shaped Card (SVG, Silhouette).

I opened my file in Silhouette studio & took the bottle panel of my file, (coloured in white in my pic), & made a copy so that I now have 2.

One will be used to create a frame for my shaker by making an internal offset & the other I will use to cut a sheet of acetate for the shaker window.

I created an internal offset of 0.450 on one of them. You can now put the other, (for the acetate), without the offset to the side. I have slightly enlarged my card so the offset measurements may vary depending on the size of your card. I just kept playing with mine till I got it to the desired size.

I then copy & pasted this to fill my page. I was able to fit 4 in total. I cut out 12 pieces of this panel. These are to create the frame for your shaker. You only keep the outside frame. The insert is not needed. You will only need to cut 1 frame if you prefer to create the window frame with foam tape. I prefer this way as I find them much sturdier. I then cut out another of the same panel using the printed paper to make the top printed panel. This time keep both the frame & inside cut. Once I cut out all my pieces the first step was to glue the frame together by layering carefully my 12 pieces.

How thick the layer will depend on the type of shaker confetti you use inside. My shaker balls where a little raised & I wanted them to move freely in my card.

Next I glued together my top panels onto the front of my bottle panel & also glued down the shaker frame I created onto the bottom part.

I wanted some embellishments as well as sprinkles in my card, so I adhered some cute stickers on the inside panel first.

Once my stickers were in place I took the panel & glued it inside my frame. This should fit perfectly. Then I added my tiny balls. You can use any sprinkles in your stash. I wanted mine to look like milk inside the bottle that is why I chose the white balls. Next I gave my acetate a light brush of powder on the side I was going to glue down so that it is not static. I then glued the acetate to the frame. I let it dry before the next steps. Acetate takes a little longer to dry & not so instant as paper. Once the acetate was dry I glued on top the printed panel frame. Lastly I glued down my complete bottle panel onto the front of the card frame.
