Baby Girl Overalls

I love all things pink and girly. I'm sure you've noticed if you follow my blog at all. I loved the challenge this week from LateNightStampers. The challenge was to use this super girly birthday cake as inspiration to make a card. I was just giddy--all those stripes, polka dots and pink. YEA! LOL

But seriously--what little girl gets a cake like this? And how on earth could you cut it??

Here's my baby girl overalls. I just love them--couldn't you see a little girl running around in them?

Recipe:

Cardstock: Regal Rose, Certainly Celery, Barely Banana

DSP: Certainly Celery

Accessories: Cupcake (die cut), signo white gel pen, small tag punch, 1 1/4" square punch, 1 1/4" circle punch, rhinestone brad, dimensionals

This is my template: I would love to be able to share it w/ all of you, but I don't have photoshop or anything like that....I do everything with paint. :( If you have any suggestions please email me or leave a comment.

Template for Baby Boy Overalls

Many of you asked for a template for the overalls to use to create your own cards. Honestly, I'm lacking much in the way of computer skills. If you right click on the jpeg and save it to your computer. I hope you can open it using Word and enlarge it. *crossing my fingers*

TIPS and TRICKS:

The pockets are just the small tag punch and star punches w/ a little faux stitching--I should have used a ruler! :) The cuffs are just strips of CS glued on and then trimmed to fit.

When I made the overalls, I did not cut the neck out of the shirt free hand, I used a circle punch. Also, when I cut out the bibs, I did not cut the notch out for the crotch of the pants--I waited until I folded the CS in half so it would be even. Finally, I did not cut out the neck of the bibs, I punch it using the SU! square punch.

Evan's First Birthday Invite

I can't believe that I am already working on Evan's first birthday invites. Has it really been almost year since his birth? It goes by so quickly.

This morning, I sat down and made a template. I love overalls. After two girls in dresses, it is fun to FINALLY have a little guy that I can dress in overalls and little striped shirts. So I thought it was appropiate to make his invites.....OVERALLS!
