Hello All,
I made this little exploding box for a co-worker. I will admit it was a bit self-serving because while it held a little gift for baby, it doubles as a brag book...box?...so she can fill it with pictures of the baby to share with with of us at work!
Here it is closed. The nursery had a vintage sports theme so I tried to incorporate little sports nods throughout.
When you open it, the pages fall open revealing a sweet little pair of "sneaker" booties (Buy Buy Baby).
I used digital paper from
Lilly Bimble, Little Prints Party and
Below Blink. The image is
Bella, from Whippersnappers.
With a little masking, and addition of a clip art baseball cap, little Bella became a little slugger :) He's colored with Copic markers.
This is one of my all-time favorite stamps because the image is perfect for plopping a pacifier in the baby's mouth. I made the tiny pacifier using a brad and the plastic "C" clips used for making friendship bracelets.
The sentiment around the image is computer-generated. The "it's a boy" sentiment is from a rubber stamp from Michael's back when they had those awesome $1 bins! It's stamped with Versamark ink and embossed with Ranger white embossing powder. I cut it out using a Spellbinders circle die.
I used Bazzil card stock for the box and the patterned paper was cut using Lawn Fawn stitched rectangle dies.
Have a great week!
