A couple of years ago, it seems like a lot of my friends were having babies and I got the chance to give baby gifts more often. More recently I haven’t had the chance as much. And when I have had baby gifts to give, I’m out of cards in my stash, to go with the gift. Well recently, I did get the chance to go to a baby shower, so I sat down to make a card first. This is what I came up with. I used my Cricut and the Doodlecharms cartridge to cut the ducks. This card is SO simple, and I adore how it turned out.
This is a slightly different version, with a different colored twine for a boy.
I made a few extras, and left the baker’s twine off, so I can make them for boys or girls when needed.
Then I decided that I’d make a gift bag to match. I cut more ducks, at a little bigger size and put them on with dimension squares.
Since the gift is for a baby girl, I cut the word baby out of pink and put it in the corner like the cards. The border is hand drawn with a black pen.
Very easy, and cute!
For the gift, I threw together a set of cloth diaper burp cloths. I’ve made these several times before, but it’s been a long time. They always come together so quickly, I should just make a bunch to have on hand. 🙂 If you’d like to know how I make them, here is my tutorial. 🙂
I rolled them all up and tied them with some small white ric rac.
And then put them in the gift bag.
I hope mom and baby like them. These were my favorite kind of burp cloths when my babies were little!
