Christi's Creative Crew: Baby Shower gift

Last night I was able to attend a baby shower for my friend, Jan’s, daughter, Lauryn. What fun it is to celebrate a new life coming into the world. This is the gift I made to give to her. This little “bag–in-a-box” held 12 baby thank you notes for Lauryn to send out to her friends and family. Thanks goes out to the Stampin’ Up! demonstrator website for the onesie belly band idea and to Amy Klemo for the card inspiration. I’m not sure who first came out with the bag-in-a-box idea, but I have seen, and made several over the course of the last few years. I used the new Baby Bundle Stamp Set and the Baby Tees Jumbo Wheel to make this little ensemble. It is so hard to see on this photo but I wanted the Early Espresso circles, and the Marina Mist circles to have a tone on tone texture so I stamped them with the hydrangea stamp from the new Just Because I Care Hostess level 1 stamp set. It gave them just the right look that I wanted without looking like a flower.
