I had a baby shower for a sweet little baby girl this weekend for a neighbor :) I love baby showers and I love baby shower gift giving! I use coupons, so I was able to score a small stock of diapers, wipes, rice cereal and stage 1 baby food for her :)
Being a mother myself, you ALWAYS NEED more of the essentials :) But its fun to get the cute stuff too.
I decided to make her some cute art for her baby nursery ;) At the Dollar Tree, I saw some gorgeous wrapping papers with lovely floral prints and I snagged several.
Excuse my terrible photo :( lighting right!
Here's what I used:
Various wrapping papers
card stock
glue stick (not pictured)
pencil
scissors
washi tape (not pictured)
I first made a heart template from the card stock. I then measured it to fit a base layer of a pretty patterned wrapping paper. Measure and cut to fit your mat.
Hmm. Looks like my heart is a bit too big
(I resized the heart template :)
That's better ;)
Trace and cut your heart shape onto another patterned paper.
Got a little carried away and forgot to take some pics of the next few steps.
That creative process, ya know ;)
I added another square layer under the heart, secured with the glue stick and then bordered with a pretty peach washi tape.
I then added the flowered heart in the middle as pictured.
I felt the piece needed some bling, so I cut another smaller heart template and decided to cover in a pretty gold patterned washi tape.
I added strips as seen and let the tape over lap the shape of the heart.
Then cut off the access with the scissors.
I added the bling-y heart with the glue stick and then was ready to mat!
I secured the final piece to the back of the frame mat with masking tape.
All done! My neighbor really liked it :)
Enjoy!
