A Baby Box Part 2 of 4

Today I am going to show you the Board Book, Trinket Box and Gift Card I used for the Baby Box I showed you last week.



If you are interested in the Baby Word Book you can download the SVG file free here:

This word book was created in SCAL and I used the FONT Elephants in Cherry Trees.

I cut the book and large BABY letters first. Then I cut the small letters ISABELLA and spread them out evenly among the pages on the front. 
I used COTTON CANDY PINK Sparkly Fluff on the name. You can get your own here:

This is the first time I used brads to bind the book. I made them fairly loose to allow the pages to turn. I really like the brad idea! It's much easier than using ribbon and has a contemporary and clean feel to it.

This trinket box came from Michael's. It was originally just a light colored ply wood color and it has a paintable butterfly on the lid that I pulled off. I painted the lid a hot pink and chose some paper from my stash to cut into squares and cover the box using mod podge.
Just a hint here: if you cut the paper in a long strip and then cut the squares from the strip your box will match up and flow better. I added the letter I to each side. Each I was cut and glitter glued.

I added pieces of tulle to the inside of the box

My mom and I raided her bead collection to find matching letters and beads to make two baby bracelets.


I tied the two bracelets together using a small piece of ribbon and then stuffed it into the box.


This trinket box would be perfect for babys first curl and first lost tooth :)

I have used this card before but this time I added the name to the shirt area before I cut it in SCAL.
You can see how to add words to a shape on my Blog here:

I used the circle scrap from the onesie card on the front of the envelope.
