Homemade Baby Shower Card

(Don't forget to link your projects up to my Marvelous Mess party....each week I'll pick one project to feature on my sidebar!!)

I'm hosting a baby shower in a week!! I've been scrounging around looking for ideas on decorations. This card above is one that I created myself. The clothes on the line represent the soon-to-be Dad, Mom, and Baby brother.....and the new onesie on the line is for the little girl they are expecting.

To make this card, I bought some blank ivory colored cards and envelopes and some scrapbook paper with two different coordinating sides. I cute out lots of large and small overalls, skirts, and onesies. I used hemp rope for the clothes line. Yellow inked stamps for the sun and flowers and yellow pearl glue for the flower centers. Silver stamp ink for the clouds. A green fabric marker for the flower stems. All the separate pieces were hot glued into place.

This shower is going to be a yellow themed occasion. I am planning on lots of tissue paper yellow pom poms and flowers........and perhaps a buttercup themed cake?? Or maybe make some cake pops?? Can you tell that I am a last minute kind of lady? :-)

I shared this post at these lovely parties (check them out, you'll be inspired!!):
