a little bit country...{baby collection}

DESIGNER KELLY LUNCEFORD www.flutterbyatomicbutterfly.blogspot.com
A friend of mine asked it I could put together a baby gift collection for her this week. I couldn't say no, especially because it meant I could create something a little unconventional as well as something that I haven't made before. I post a lot of baby projects and I guess they can become monotonous. You can check out all of the sewn projects HERE as well as more detailed photos.

My friend sent me a photo of the baby shower invitation which was where the inspiration started for the rest of the set. I headed straight to the fabric store and picked out the quilt fabric which you can see in the previous photo. 


The layout of the greeting card was directly based on the layout of the invitation, which was nice because by the time I put the card together, I was ready to be finished. Ha Ha! The cute plaid paper is from a mini pad called "Lewis Family Vacation" by The Paper Studio found at Hobby Lobby. It was so perfect and accented the sewn projects better than I could have hoped for.

The cute bear diecut and stamp are from the PTI set "Baby Button Bits" and the sentiment is from "Bitty Baby Blessings". I have tried perusing the web to find a new baby set, but nothing is speaking to me so I guess I will just continue to use the same old stamps. The "Baby" letters were diecut from pattern paper and then I added glossy accents to the top. They are popped up on the card for extra dimension.

I really liked the way the "Baby's first Year" book turned out. I found the deer brad on clearance at Hobby Lobby and it is the perfect addition.

I found the baby animal buttons that I used as accents throughout the project at Hobby Lobby as well and they look so cute!





I love adding felt baby booties to all of my baby boy collections. You can see them all packaged up in a clear box embellished with some fun images and sentiments from PTI's "Bitty Baby Blessings". I used the last of my brown felt ribbon from SU! that I have been hoarding for more years than I care to admit. I thought it was too perfect not to use.

The booties were made from Kraft felt and chocolate felt. I really like the way the dark brown floss defines the outline of the shoes. 





I had so much fun putting this set together and it didn't even feel like work at all. I hope the recipient likes it! Thanks for fluttering by!

This is such a nice gift set. What exactly is in the Baby's First Year Book? I searched your website, but I couldn't find what it had on the inside pages. I love your themed gift sets!

Happydaymom...my baby's first year flip books include pages for each month of the baby's first year including a page for name, birth date, length, weight, etc. as well as a page for all of the baby's "firsts" such as first food, word, walking, etc. I have taken a few pictures here and there. I tried to email you but your email wouldn't link up to anything. I apologize. I can send you the file that I created if you are interested in that.

Your projects are absolutely gorgeous! If you have any tips for making the felt shoes, I would love to hear them. I've had difficulty breaking the holes, especially around the heel.

Thank you, anonymous!😁😁😁 I have lots of tips and tricks. I was considering sharing some on this post but didn't know if they would be helpful. Now that I know that they will, I'll put an entire post together based on how I tackle them thanks for your interest!
