*Little One* baby gift ensemble

 I took a break from Mother's Day cards to work on a baby gift for a shower today! I'm not able to go, but I wanted to get the gift over there before the shower. It seems like if you wait, it takes forever to get it delivered.  I wanted something simple, yet thoughtful. I just used supplies I had on hand but I think it turned out nicely. The card is 2 3/4 inch by 2 3/4 inch. I wanted something small to tuck inside the gift. I don't know the mom-to-be and didn't have a lot to write other than best wishes. Tiny cards like this are the perfect solution when you are short on time and words! LOL! You all know how much I love using this tiny carriage. I love paper piecing it and adding some bling here and there!

 I made a simple box out of cardstock and embellished it with some old SU! pattern paper I have had forever. I think it is called "Tea Party". It is cute and I love using it! I used quite a variety of stamp sets for this gift, but they are all from PTI.  The onesie and coordinating diecut are from "Bitty Baby Blessings" I think.  The "little one" sentiment is from the Boutique Borders: Baby stamp set. I told you I love them!

You can see here that I adhered the doily to the box, but the rest is a belly band to go around the box. I love having a lot of detail on my boxes and 3-D items, but I have always found the recipient never likes "messing it up" or so I have been told! LOL! A belly band is the perfect solution!

 This box is the perfect size to fit the handmade goodies inside.  I made 2 headbands, a onesie and a bracelet. Hopefully these are all thing the mom-to-be will enjoy.

 Here is one of my trademark headbands that I make for most of my baby girl gifts. I had someone ask me about the felt that I use in the card I made for my daughter's teacher. I think it was the garden one. I use felt from PTI and My Favorite Things. It is way better quality than the kind you get at the craft store. It is wool felt and I love the quality. The pink I used here is Bubble Gum from My Favorite Things. The die-cut I used is from PTI.

 Here is headband number 2 and I used yellow and purple felt from PTI and Bubblegum pink felt from My Favorite Things. The rolled roses are a die-cut from My Favorite things as well. I clustered them and added some half back pearls to the center with hot glue. I put these on a smaller elastic.

 I wanted to make a handmade bracelet but was disappointed in my bead selection. I know I have more, somewhere or I lent them to someone. Who knows, so I had to make do. I love this stamp set that I used for the packaging. It is Boutique Accessories from PTI. I make handmade stuff all the time and this is only the 2nd time I have used the set. I love it and need to use it more. It gives your handmade items such a great feel. It takes this simple bracelet up a notch.

This is the plain white onesie that I decorated. I used the same diecut for the fabric flower as I did for the pink headband. I like putting together a cohesive gift. I was a little disappointed when I stamped the sentiment because the last E was darker than the rest. I had already put the flower and button on, so it had to do. I hope you enjoy this little gift ensemble and Thanks for fluttering by!
