We had our design team here at OMC put together the project for the Let's Kit Together Baby Girl pack to show you just how cute these projects can be!




First we have some precious layouts!



And how about a card for that upcoming baby shower?


Of course if you are having a baby shower you're going to need invitations...

And then how about a door hanger for when baby is sleeping?

 
And last but not least, an adorable baby booklet to keep all those memories close at hand!


There are so many possibilities with these kits! You can follow the instructions or create your own projects. Each Let's Kit Together pack comes with instructions for multiple projects so you'll never run out of cute ideas. Better yet, you can reuse the instructions with other paper pack and embellishments!

I love the project made with the "I Love America" paper. Even though it is a 4th of July project, it could easily be changed to be for Memorial Day....of Labor Day. The paper is amazing and I love all the bling on it.

Use the acid-free craft tape along the bottom of diagonal section and glue together. Ink edges with matching color.
4. Trim a 1" or 1½" piece of contrasting paper for the belly-band. Fold around entire card with the ends matching in the middle on the top with a 1" overlap.

The winner of this contest is Melissa Dunham!

Melissa said...

"I received my degree 2 weeks ago at the age of 45. I did it while raising a family and going back full time after being laid off from a part time job. While doing this I was on the deans list every semester and was a member of Phi Thetta Kappa. I am now a very proud mom who has a college degree. While going back this last year my youngest daughter has been struggling in high school. She finally managed to bring all her grades up and as I was telling her I was proud of her she said "mom I'm proud of you too!" We did a high 5 to each other."

Congrats Melissa! Please send your shipping information to contest@ohmycrafts.com to claim your prize.

3. With Footlights Punch, punch white paper 5 ¾”x 5”. Adhere just above the lilac paper, leaving a thin strip of patterned paper showing at the top.  
4. Ink the edges with Boysenberry ink pad. 
5. Die cut 8 white small flowers, but layer one on top of the other to create four flowers. Apply a small jewel in the center of each flower and adhere to the bottom of the scalloped white paper.

Tip: With thin paper, the die cut can cut through 3 sheets at a time.
 
6. Cut out “Wish” from paper pack and ink the edges with Boysenberry ink pad. Apply the purple border rub on to the bottom of the sentiment. Adhere to left side of page.


 
7. On right side of card, apply the blue border rub on.

Case

Supplies Used:

Lifestyle Crafts : Fresh Start Cutting Dies- Bloom

3. Die cut several layers of the Lifestyle Crafts flower cutting die with white paper. This flower has 6 layers of petals.

Tip: The petals curl upward because I sprayed them on both sides with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist color Pearl. This gave them the flexibility to curl on their own. You can also shape them how you want with a pencil or your fingers.  

4. With I-top, create a 16mm brad using coordinating lilac paper. Punch a hole with Tim Holtz Retractable Craft Pick through the center of each flower and stick the brad through the center.

Graduation Frame created by OMC designer Whitney!


Supplies Used:
 
Twelve Timbers : 4”x6” Frame
Rangers Ink : Jenni Bowlin Acrylic Paint Dabbers - Fountain Pen and coordinating color  
Oh My Vinyl : Metallic Silver, Black and Transfer Tape
Kanban Crafts : Duo Mirror Reflective - Copper/Black
Cricut : Happy Graduation, Songbird, and Base Camp Cartridges
7Gypsies : Display Trim: Loops and Hooks - Antique Silver
Graduate’s Tassel


Instructions:
 
1. Remove the glass from the frame.
2. Paint the frame with Ranger Ink paint dabbers and let dry. Paint the entire frame black, or paint the sides the color of the graduate’s tassel or school colors.

Tip: Ranger Ink Paint Dabbers dry super fast and are quick and easy to apply.


 
3. With Cricut machine, cut out the following:

Cartridge	Material	Words to Cut	Size in Inches	Blade Depth	Pressure	Speed
Happy Graduation	Metallic Silver Vinyl	"Happy Graduation"	3 1/2	4	Low	Medium
Songbird	Metallic Silver Vinyl	"Class Of"	1 1/2	4	Low	Medium
Base Camp	Metallic Silver Vinyl	"2011" Shadow	1 3/4	4	Low	Medium
Base Camp	Black Vinyl	"2011"	1 3/4	4	Low	Medium
Happy Graduation	Kanban Reflective Paper- Black	Graduation  Cap	3 1/2	4	High	Medium

4. With “Happy Graduation” cut off the “Happy” so you are left with “Graduation.” Do not forget to cut off the dot to the “i.” 
5. Using transfer tape, apply the vinyl to the frame. Start with “2011,” laying one number down at a time. Then stick “Graduation” down at the bottom, bringing it close to, but not touching the “1”. Lastly, apply “Class Of.” Since these letters are not welded together, apply each one separately, but overlap them slightly so they are close together and they look welded. 
6. Ink the white edges of the graduation cap black and adhere to the top left corner of the frame. 
7. Adhere one antique silver 7 Gypsies hook onto the graduation cap and tie the graduate’s tassel on. 
8. Insert the glass and graduate’s picture in the frame for a perfect graduation gift!
