Gift for Baby



I needed to decorate this bag for a baby gift.
I often buy these gift bags in bulk in a variety of colors to have on hand for gifts. They are inexpensive and handy, but need to be cuter. I often cut out something to decorate them, for this baby bag I went fairly simple.
I used my Gypsy to layout and design the cut. I used the "Gypsy Wanderings" images and cut the shadow and image for the Baby in GP white Cardstock and light Pink from GP Pastel cardstock pack.
I did have one problem when enlarging. This might be my fault...I will let you know later. When I went to match up the images the white was a bit longer between the "Y" and the "Bottle" on the pink piece..I fixed this by cutting the shadow piece and then adhering the white with a slight over lap. This may have been user error I will check that out tomorrow. I didnt select and enlarge the pieces at the same time and have them locked when I increased the size. Usually I do this together, but I decided on using a white shadow after laying out the rest of the cut.
You can see the over lap in the cut out picture if you look closely.
I cut 2 baby bottles one in Green and one in Yellow, from the stash scrap. I cut 2 so I could get a yellow nipple. It just didnt seem right for it to be green. I then trimmed the nipple and base of the bottle following the line the cricut cut.
Until Later....Happy Stamping!

  2. Super cute!!! I love this idea, Kathy. I will have to try it. I usually keep the bags on hand, but rarely decorate them. This is a precious idea.
