What do you do when your best friend tells you that she is pregnant ... start planning the Gender Reveal Party of course!
On Saturday, Aleisha and Ryan celebrated their new baby boy due December 2021, and also revealed they are pregnant with twins!!!
We find out the gender of the second twin in three weeks.
I knew of course, but have had to keep it quiet these past 17 weeks, which was oh so hard!
Aleisha wanted to do a Gift Table, so that each guest went home with a handmade gift.
There were 60 gifts that I made, ranging from Calendar Fridge Magnets, Calendar Notebooks and Decorated 3B1 Notebooks, what a BIG job!!!
I also made two framed artworks for the Nursery, and a cute matching card.
There were little details on the framed artworks, like the Teddy Bear holding the Calendar with December written on it.
I always add a tonne of pearls, but always odd numbers, like 3 large Pearls, and 5 small Pearls ...
I hope you enjoy the medley of ALL these photos taken at the Baby Shower, and of the gifts I made ...
"Photo Wall and Grazing Table"
"Grazing Table"
"Drinks Table"
"Gift Table"
And these are the Gifts I made, first off the Mini Calendar Fridge Magnets...
And the Mini Calendar Notebooks ...
Whenever I have a bulk order to make, I always pre-cut everything, then make an assembly line ...
I was really honoured that Aleisha asked my daughter JorjaRose to be the Photographer/Videographer at the party. From my family to yours, wishing you all the best for the journey ahead Aleisha and Ryan ... with TWINS!
Last weeks Class, we made two projects, a Blocks Card
featuring the “Gold Soiree” Specialty Designer Series Paper, and a Suspended Stars Christmas
Card, featuring the Stars Framelits and “Endless Wishes” + “Merry Everything” stamp
sets …
Project 1 Blocks
Card
I am super excited to re-hash this Blocks Card that I made
late last year.
This time I made up two versions, the first {a case via Jacque} a romantic card
featuring the “Gold Soiree” Specialty Designer Series Paper, with a cute little
card/tag that slides into the opening . ..
The second is a Halloween Card, featuring the “Witches’ Brew”
Designer Series Paper {also available on my Digital Studio Download}, and also
has a card/tag …
I love how effective this card is, yet how simple it is to
create + the added bonus is that it can be flattened to allow postage.
Designed by Linda Marie, and showcased on the Stampin’ Pretty
Blog by Mary Fish, you can watch the video Tutorial here …
My Mentor Jacque demonstrated her version via Barbara Bicknell, when she last visited sunny Nelson, so I have used these measurements for the two cards pictured.
The card base for this card is Pool Party, with an overlay of
Pool Party that has had a Star cut out with the Star Framelits, and is then
embossed with the “Lucky Stars” Textured Embossing Folder.
Small stars are then punched out with the Star from the “Itty
Bitty Accents Punch Pack” in Glimmer Paper in Dazzling Diamonds, Silver and Red.
The Stars are then adhered {or suspended} between 2
sheets of Acetate or Window Sheets.
The Banner is stamped in Real Red ink on Pool Party with the
sentiment ”Celebrate The Season” from the “Endless Wishes” stamp set.
The sentiment Banner is then layered on Real Red cardstock
and Glimmer Paper in Dazzling Diamonds.
A Basic Metal Button is threaded with White Bakers Twine and
a bow tied.
For the card insert, the insert is Whisper White and has a
Tag from the “Merry Everything”, which is stamped in Real Red on to Pool Party,
and then punched using the matching “Note Tag” Punch.
A small Mini Brad secures the Tag to the Whisper White
cardstock, and allows it to swing like a real Tag.
A couple of little Stars are adhered to the top left hand corner.
Wah-lah … Suspended Stars Christmas Card done!
