Today, I met my friend’s grandson for the first time. He is absolutely adorable and I was thrilled to be able to have a cuddle.
I made the card & gift before his arrival, so I kept to neutral colours. Today I will show you the card and tomorrow I will post pictures of the gift.
I wanted to try making a 3d crib. I mapped it all out first and then transferred my pattern to the white card. I drew and cut the crib by hand. I could have used my Craft Robo but never having made anything like this before, I wanted to get a “feel” for it.
Having constructed the crib, I lined the inside with some yellow and white stripey paper, made a pillow from a small piece of white card and a blanket from yellow gingham ribbon.
I then decided to make a box. Again, I could have used the robo to design & cut it but I decided to do it by hand.
Having cut my desired shape I then stamped the card with “precious baby”.
To protect the crib, I added acetate to the apertures.
I then made a tag so that I had somewhere to write my message.
A pair of knitted bootees (another of my makes!) and a yellow gingham bow either side to hold the box together and it’s done.
