Baby Shower Ensemble with Linda

Good morning!  Linda here with a quick and easy baby shower favor and place card that feature the darling “Bundle of Joy: Girl” collection and the coordinating 6x6 “Dots and Stripes” paper pad. My example uses the “Girl” Element Stickers with the soft pink polka dotted paper, but it would be easy enough to swap out for the blue polka dotted “Boy” paper for baby boy version. Or, you could create a gender-neutral version using the yellow or green polka dotted papers from the Dots & Stripes paper pads.

 

I started with a standard size baby bottle that I picked up at the dollar store. I filled it with pastel colored candies. (Designer’s note: a baby bottle holds a surprising amount of candy! Shop accordingly.) The hang tag is a 2.5" x 6" rectangle that I decorated with sticker embellishments from the collection, a chipboard button from the Layered Chipboard set tied with baker’s twine, a scrap of lace and a teensy self-adhesive pearl.  I popped the teddy bear and onesie stickers with a bit of foam tape to make them stand out. I punched a hole large enough to fit over the top of the bottle at one end, and added a sharp crease near the top to allow the tag to hang straight down.

 

The matching personalized place card also uses the polka dotted paper from the Dots & Stripes paper pad cut 3.5" x 4.75" folded in half and embellished with ribbon and lace. Alphabet and Element stickers from the collection complete the design.

With a few girlfriends to help, you could easily make an entire party’s worth of favors and place cards with the Bundle of Joy collection for that special Mom-to-Be. Happy crafting!
