Hi everyone, I wanted to share a little gift I made up for my niece to give as a baby shower gift for her best friend. The baby’s nursery is in a jungle theme with a yellow and blue color scheme. I made a necktie onesie using a cut file located in the Silhouette Online Store, out of a cute fabric I found at Hancock Fabrics. The Silhouette Cameo cut the fabric beautifully. The Onesie was cut using the Cricut Imagine Stock Cut preloaded on the Imagine.
I really can’t remember the sizing I used for the neck ties… hum, should have written that down. I did use Heat N Bond to attach the necktie to the onesie.
The card is a standard A2 size card.
- Base is kraft Cardstock – all papers and images inked with Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink
- Yellow pattern paper printed from the Cricut Imagine Hopscotch Cartridge cut at 4×5.25
- Blue pattern paper printed from the same Cricut Imagine Hopscotch Cartridge cut at 3.75×5
- The onesie cut using basic white card stock, Image cut from the stock cuts pre loaded on the Cricut Imagine, maybe 3 inches… again, should have written it down
- I ran the onesie through the Swiss Dots Embossing Folder using my Cuttlebug
- With the blender tool used to ink the edges of the images and papers I lightly ran it over the raised dots to give a better look than stark white.
- I attached the fabric necktie to the onesie using Scotch Quick Dry adhesive
- The onesie is attached to the card base using foam squares
- The sentiment stamped using Color Box Brown Ink
We placed the card and onesie in a foldable cube found at Target. We filled the box with newspaper in the bottom to fill the space and added a few goodies to go with the onesie and card. Here’s what everything looked like.
Sippy cups, sleepers, take & toss forks and spoons, bibs, travel kit, take and toss snack bowls, baby lotion and baby powders.
