Baby Boy Forest Friends

Hey there!

Today's card was created for my niece who will be having her baby (boy) shower this weekend.

The theme is "Forest Friends", and I decided to add a leftover diecut from the diaper cake, (scroll down), to her card to keep the theme going.

It was fairly easy to create...just some different colored mats, the sentiment, and I popped up the diecut using foam-adhesives for added dimension.

Thanks for visiting!

Forest Friends Diaper Cake

Happy Tuesday!

Instead of posting a card today, I decided to share with you a diaper cake I created for my niece's upcoming baby shower this Saturday.

I LOVE making these!  

They're not that difficult, and not only can it be used as a centerpiece, but the mom-to-be is really appreciative of all the diapers she'll have on hand when the baby arrives.

I used a plastic-cake-platter (from the Dollar Tree), 70 newborn diapers, rubberbands (on each diaper), 2 baby bottles for the middle (4 oz. & 8 oz.), burlap & satin ribbons, the forest animals are diecuts, and I topped it off with a hedgehog stuffed animal from Hobby Lobby for $3, and just some filler in between each layer.

Here is a link on "how to make a diaper cake", with instructions and items needed. 

...and here's another one I made a few years ago...

Thanks for stopping by today, 

have a great day!
