There’s a new little baby Diva almost here and today we’re celebrating with a surprise shower hop! So come along with us and do the hop, hop, hop to help celebrate the arrival of Charmaine’s new little oodabug! This shindig started at the Verve Stamps blog, so if you’ve just happened along, be sure to hop on over there to start from the beginning!
Here's my little card I made for Charmaine's sweet baby girl. And when I say little...well, I really mane "little"!! I used the largest die from the Blossom Nestabilities set for the card base (well, I'll show you a picture of the inside in a minute so you can see the actual opening part) and it measures 3 3/4" in diameter. The flowers are made from Stampin' Up!'s Birds & Blooms Sizzlits die set. I created the tag using the Family Phrases set from Verve Stamps.
I created the card opening by using one of my Circle Nestabilities die (I chose to make it slightly smaller than the outside Blossom so it doesn't show from the front). Tip: score and fold your cardstock, then place the circle die on top leaving just a little bit of the fold showing.
Thanks for stopping by! Now hop on over to Jen Del Muro's blog for some more cuddly goodness.
