‘Tis the Season…. for babies and brides!

Need a quick, but lovely baby shower or bridal shower gift? Create a door hanger for the little one’s nursery or the bride’s new home using the new Chic Bebe line from Teresa Collins.

To create the baby version you’ll need:

- One page from a shaped chipboard album, (such as the new Melody Ross Chipboard albums we now carry). I used one from the Maya Road Artistic Scroll album (now on Clearance)

- Chic Bebe Girl Chipboard Elements (or check out the Chic Bebe Boy line)

- Tattered Angels glimmer mist & Glimmer Screen: I used Viva Pink from the Heidi Swapp Glimmer Mist collection and the medium sized Decorative Corners Glitter Screen. OR, you could just cover the chipboard shape with coordinating patterned paper, like the Chic Bebe Girl Theme Set

- One Yard of Ribbon: I used the Chic Bebe Girl ribbon

- Jenni Bowlin Embellished Butterflies: I used one of the Pink Butterflies.

- ZVA Jewels (I used Mini-Lines and cut them to fit the oval frame shape)

- Sticker letters (I used Doodlebug and Making Memories tiny alphas)

Step-by-Step Directions:

1. I used Glimmer Mist and a gllmmer screen to create the background on my chipboard piece. Lay the glimmer screen on top of your chipboard shape and spray all over (the Ranger craft mat is wonderfully easy to clean with a paper towel after you’re done spraying...) Remove the screen.

2. Once dry (only a few minutes), use your Crop-a-dile to punch a second hole for the ribbon hanger (if you’re using a chipboard album piece, there is probably already one hole). Set eyelets in holes for a finished look.

3. Add photo of the baby behind the black frame (from the Chic Bebe Girl Chipboard Elements), or if you don’t have one, add cardstock and only place adhesive on the bottom and sides of frame when adhering to the background, so a photo can be added later.

4. Add sticker letters, jeweled embellishments and chipboard pieces, as desired. I used pop dots to layer them. I used Glossy Accents to add shine to the Making Memories Tiny Alphas (now on clearance!) - and to help them stay secure over time.

5. Tie ribbon through eyelets to create hanger. Punch hole in a chipboard word and tie on hanger using small string or ribbon to create a charm.

You could use the Mr. & Mrs. line (these are the chipboard elements):

or Welcome Home line

to create a version for a bridal shower or to welcome a new neighbor to their new home. Just add a photo of the happy couple or you could add a quote or bible verse instead of a photo in the frame.

Happy Creating!
