Design Team: Burping Cloths Cake

Hi,
It's Veronica from Vicky's Scrapping Passion  sharing with you a fun project I did for one of my children's teachers, who just became a Grandma for the first time:

 I decided to make a diaper cake inspired by one of our dear bloghoping friends: Hollie, but then got convinced otherwise ;-)

I collaborated in this project with my dear friend, Andrea (Stitched by Andrea). She is nuts about embroidering and sewing, and helped me making this super cute burping cloths:

She did, besides convincing me on the burping cloths, do a fantastic job.

I made the cake topper using the Disney-Pooh Font set cart, and made did card as well using my Cricut Explorer. I even did some writing with it ;-) (so proud of myself)...

2- I used Viva Color amber glass effect pen.
3- I cut the name and distressed the letters 
4- I distressed the bear a little bit using PowerPuff Amaretto chalk.

I used  Connie's shop  cabochon and button:

I attached a my gift card to the back and hanged it using 3 Girls Jam ribbon.

I wanted to add some "honey' to the honey jar (card) and I wish I had cut some more using my cricut, but I didn't have any extras. Thus, I used some splash images (also from Connie's shop) and inked it first with glitter alcohol markers (5+6), and them using some more amber Glass effect pen to mimic my cricut cut honey...
Papers are from many different manufacturers. 

I hope you enjoy this project as much as we did,
Have a wonderful weekend,

Tim's inspired Pocket Watch

Dear scrappers,

I just discovered a few new (for me) challenge pages.
Amazingly I have subscribed to the Simon Says Stamp Blog for a while, but just now I decided to use one of their Monday challenges as inspiration for a gift for my son:

This week challenge is to use faces as inspiration... I used a clock face and my sons exited face with his big with excitement open eyes when he gets something long wished for. I started working on this challenge the same Monday it came out...

I bought this Tim Holtz Idea-ology pocket watch and wanted to a pretend almost real one for my son, who kept playing pretending with my origami owl lockets...



I used some game spinners, some gears, and 2 swivel (TH Idea-ology), a cutout of a 8x8 TH paper pack, and a Steampunk airplane charm. I added the gears using the bards included with the game spinner and added 2 more to create a Pate Philip (? I think is written like that) look. I added liquid glass to the back of the clock cutout to stabilized the gears and an extra thick layer to the front to imitate the look of enamel or stone... I finished the look by stamping using the lost and found acrylic stamps on the face of the watch with a Surfacez (green, Color Book) to further imitate the real look of extra fancy gears and added flair. The liquid glass took almost 24 h to dy out completely...

I attached the clock to 2 swivel chains and added the charm.









This was my son's expression when he received the watch... Priceless



I hope you enjoyed my take to this challenge and hope to participate as often as I can ;-)
Thanks for looking into my blog,

Vicky
