Correction on the Baby Shower Thank You Cards

I decided to make a few changes on the matching Thank You cards for the mommy-to-be.  The original cards were landscaped and had the initial B on the front.  I decided to change that up a little:

I turned it portrait orientation due to the saving of ribbon (I'm spending a small fortune on ribbon lately).  I added the black dots around the scalloped circle for decorative effect.  Finally, I changed the initial to a W for the family's last name.  Therefore, if she has cards left over she can use them for something other than a baby gift.


I then used MORE ribbon (LOL) to bundle them up in a nice little package:

She LOVED them! =)

Baby Shower "Kit-Kat" Favors

I can't remember where I saw this idea, but I fell in love instantly!  For the baby shower party favors, I covered a Kit-Kat bar with black cardstock.  I then wrapped it with pink polka dot and zebra print ribbon.  Those are the colors of the new baby's room and the theme of the shower.

I then thought, well they are awfully cute but will people know they are Kit-Kats that can be EATEN!?!  So I came up with the saying that went along with Kit-Kat's theme:

I used my 3/4" circle punch to punch around the saying.  Then I cut the zebra circle at 1" and the pink circle at 1 1/4" both from the Mini Monograms cartridge.


It was hard tying all those knots with my injured hand, but I'm so glad those are DONE!


Now, on to more crafting and some Thank You cards!

Baby Shower Invitation & Matching Thank You Note

A dear friend of mine is pregnant with her second child, another girl!  I am so honored to be throwing her a baby shower in February.  She is decorating the room in hot pink and zebra prints!  Like her other daughter, the baby's name will start with a B. So that got my creative juices flowing.


Being a crafter, I couldn't possibly go buy pre-made invitations! (gasp at the thought) LOL!  So since we have been snowed in this week, I went to crafting!


I wanted to make them simple for mass production.  They are 4 1/4  x 5 1/2 so they will fit in an A2 sized envelope.  I cut the circle and scallop circle using Mini Monograms cricut cartridge.  The B was cut from the Hello Kitty Font cartridge.

For the thank you card, I made it for an A2 sized envelope, too.  I used the same circle and scalloped circle along with the same B from the invite.  

The mommy-to-be (again) LOVES them!  I found matching treat boxes and once I add some ribbon to the handles I'll post pictures, too.
