Diapers on the Go

These are diaper carriers that I made for baby shower gifts.  The pattern is from All My Bags & Quilts Too! (Diapers to Go! #150).  This is a favorite go-to pattern for gifts.  It is quick to make, it only takes about two hours start to finish, and it is also inexpensive as it only requires a small amount of yardage.


The crochet flower is from a previous post.  I made the rhinestone bling paw print with my Silhouette digital die cut machine.  It is design number paw_print_C20091123162012_2581 from the Silhouette online store. 

Here's what the inside looks like.  Diapers are inserted in one pocket and a small package of baby wipes fits in the other.


To attach the binding across the top of the pockets, I fold the binding in half, wrong sides together and press.  Then I attach it to the top of the pocket raw edges together.  I flip the pocket over, pulling the folded and pressed edge of the binding to the back side and sew on the front side using my Bulky Overlock Foot #12C.  Here's what it looks like as I attach the binding.

Easter Cards

Here are my 2011 Easter cards:
The card itself is made from Gina K designs pure luxury cardstock (lemon drop) which I cut to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and scored with my Scor Pal at 4 1/4".  Then I stamped and embossed the fabulous design from Gina K designs (Christ has Risen by Nina Brackett) in black embossing.  Then I stamped the background stripes (Hero Arts Repositionable Rubber Stamp) with Vivid ink (lemon ice).  The greeting is from the same Christ is Risen stamp set from Gina K designs and I cut the label (labels #14 by Spellbinders) using my Cricut.  The pearl embellishments are from Close to my Heart.

Here is the inside of the card.  Again the sentiment is from the Christ is Risen stamp set.
