Surprise Baby Show for Tobe: Something for Baby

Good morning!  It's time for a little fun today.  Recently one of the SSINKspiration design team members, Tobe Buffenbarger, had a new baby so today we decided to throw her a surprise virtual baby shower to welcome the arrival of her new son.  I made two projects I'm sharing today a card as well as a coordinating framed décor piece.

For the card I started with Smoky Slate cardstock for the cardbase.  Next I took a piece of Whisper White cardstock for the cardfront and matted it with Basic Black cardstock.  The greeting is from the Better Together stamp set and was stamped directly on the cardfront.  I added a piece of Smoky Slate designer series paper from the Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack and matted it with Basic Black cardstock.

The cute little onesy is from the Something for Baby stamp set and was stamped in Marina Mist ink and then cut out with the coordinating Baby's First Framelits and attached to the cardfront with dimensionals.  I wanted to dress up the onesy a little so I added a little star I punched out of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper.  The final touch was to add a double bow tied with Basic Black Baker's Twine.

Of course I had to make a coordinating framed décor piece that would be perfect in the nursery.  The base is Marina Mist cardstock and I embossed it with the Big Shot and Lucky Stars Embosing Folder.  Next I added a piece of Smoky Slate cardstock behind the Whisper White layer.  The greeting on this is from the Friendly Wishes stamp set and was stamped in Basic Black ink.  Next I took a piece of Whisper White 5/8" Organza Ribbon and dyed it using a sponge dauber and Marina Mist ink (make sure to set it aside to dry).  Once the ribbon was dry I attached it the cardstock and then tied a bow using the same Basic Black Baker's Twine from the card.

All of the images, baby buggy, rubber duck, and toy top are from the Something for Baby stamp set and all have coordinating framelits to make cutting them out easy.  I did add a rhinestone to the eye of the rubber duck for a little bling.

I had lots of fun making these projects and they're already in the mail on their way to Tobe, I hope she enjoys them and is getting some much needed rest while cuddling with her cute little one.  Make sure to go check out all the other projects the SSINKspiration design team members are sharing to help shower Tobe with congratulatory baby well wishes.
