Baby bib, burp cloth, and hair clip

Tonight I had so much fun playing with my big shot circle die #2. I made these items for a very close friend who had a baby right before Christmas. Welcome to the world Mary Claire! I embellished a bib, burb cloth and even created a hair clip. The hair clip is attached to the top of the bib. I just placed it there for fun! I love mixing the old with the new by taking a crisp embroidered bib and adding frayed circles to it. To achieve this look you need to have the right fabric. I used 100% cotton quiliting fabric.
1. Cut fabric using the circles #2 die. You can cut several layers at a time. I used 3 different fabric patterns and layered several circles together.
2. Stitch the layers together.
3. Add button
4. Spray fabric with starch or water and scrunch up in your hand. You want it to wrinkle and fray. The more it's washed the better and more worn it will look.
5. Attach to bib or hair clip. Finish your hair clip on the back with a felt circle using again circle #2. #114526 $15.95 oRdEr onLinE today! http://www.christiedaugherty.stampinup.net/

Class Christmas ornament/Bag Tag

It's a little late to be sharing how to make these ornaments but I couldn't let it go by! You can use this same idea for a cute bag tag....you could add any color or stamp theme...an initial would be so cute too!
I cut out the supplies for this Christmas ornament using my Big Shot for my daughter's 1st grade class. I even glued it together to save time. The kids just colored in the nativity scene. (She goes to a Christian school.)
I used our chipboard in between the cardstock so the ornament will hold up for a long time.
Did you know you can order chipboard sheets from our catalog?
#114320 Long Board (6 pieces) 5 3/4 x 13 3/4 $6.95

I used our crop-a-dile to punch the hole through the chipboard and 2 pieces of cardstock. Then I used our ribbon to make the ornament hanger.
