Baby Bottle Card

I am always happy to make someone a card, especially for the arrival of a new baby! My husbands cousin had a baby Saturday afternoon so I worked last night on putting together a card for them! This was a my first attempt at doing a shape card and I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was. This shape card was particularly easy because I just welded two shadowed bottles together. I did not have to worry with flipping an image as I think I would have needed to do with other cuts. I am very happy with how it came out.

Everything for the bottle was cut from New Arrival, the words "baby" are from Simply Sweet, and the envelope is from Wild Card.
Check the top left hand side of my blog for the .cut file. Feel free to email me with any questions!

I added the lines on the neck of the bottle by using my cuttlebug and the Fiskars plate called "Lines"

This was my first attempt at adding glitter to a title. I put the words "baby" in my Xyron upside down and added glitter to the adhesive. The adhesive was a little "splotchy" in places so I had to add some Zig 2-way glue in places where the adhesive didnt take. I think next time I will try to find another adhesive that will be a little easier on me. Any suggestions are always welcome!

Here is a view of the card opened up. I added a liner on the inside of the card to add a personal message.

I tried to add an envelope that the card would fit into, and it is on my .cut file, but it is a little too big for a 12x12 mat. If you use the .cut file and have a 12x24 mat, the full cut of the envelope will work just fine. I do not think too much of the envelope was cut off because it still closed and held the card just fine.

Thanks for looking and please be sure to leave a comment!

Happy crafting!
