Ok, So it has dawned on me, that I only have one week till the baby shower and I need to actually start getting ready for it!
I have so many Ideas about what to make and how I want everything, it just going to come down to making it all, so that was my day today, time to start making the bits!! ( which nearly made me forget to attend a birthday party) whoops!
I started by making some props for one of the games, I am going to play the game where everyone gets a pin when they arrive and cannot say the words baby or boy, however I am going to add twins to that list too! When you hear someone say baby, boy or twins you take their pin, at the end of the shower, the person with the most wins!
these are what I made
These Tags were very easy to make! So here is how to do it step by step!
I have used the baby outfit from the new hostess set "A Slice of life" from the Stampin Up Autumn-Winter mini Catalogue I think its so cute!!
Using the Tempting Turquoise Ink pad, I stamped 25 of outfits onto whisper white card stock (There are 25 guests attending, you would only need enough for one per person).
I then used the new Stampin Up Decorative Label Punch, also in the Autumn-Winter mini Catalogue to punch out all of the outfits to make 25 little label shapes.
Then I took a sponge (I buy the stampin up sponges and cut them into quarters, which makes them very cheap) gently dab the sponge directly onto the ink pad and
dab around the edges of the label shape.
note: the harder you push the darker the colour, you can always add more, but cannot remove it, so start light!!!
After inking around all the edges, I punched a small hole into the top of each tag, and attaches a safety pin onto each one!
To add some colour, besides blue, I used my most favorite colour Melon Mambo Stampin write marker, to colour in the little hearts on the outfit!
Nearly done....I then added a thin blue Ribbon through the hole in the
bottom of the safety pin,
and tied it into a single knot.
Last but not least!
The Kindy Glitz, my most FAV craft item of all time!!!
I just popped a bit of glitz onto the heart and there you go, little tags for the word game complete!
What do you think?????
