Five things I use regularly when creating a gift: 1. Cricut Air 2 - I have been using a Cricut machine since I first started this little business. The machine and program has allowed me to create various borders and designs from card stock wich surround the diapers when I am not using blankets or ribbon. Lately, I have been more creative with things like cake toppers and embellishments to add character and decor to each gift but there is so much more the Cricut world that I simply have not yet learned. 2. Ribbon - I have been collecting ribbon over a period of years. There are some types that I use consistently and others that just catch my eye when I am browsing the craft aisle. Ribbon allows me to add colourful accents or hold blankets and clothing together. 3. Embellishments - Forever in Time is a brand of craft supplies that I adore and use often. I find them at @dollartree or order directly from @multicraft_intl along with many other craft supplies. When I can't make certain embellishments myself or am pressed for time, their little paper flowers and bows are a favourite of mine. 4. Cardstock - I am a little bit of a cardstock hoarder and have been collecting both patterned and solid coloured cardstock for years. Cardstock is often the heart of any gift and it gets picked first before any other element. 5. Baby gear - I try and offer the new parents a little of everything in gifts from bath wash to bibs, blankets and body suits to small teething toys and washcloths. Those same items are often folded or rolled into intricate designs for the new parents to unfold and discover 💝 . . . . . #CraftersOfInstagram #BabyGiftIdea #BabyShowerGiftIdea #GiftCreations #CuratedGift #PrettyPackage #MadeInOttawa #OttawaArtisans #OttawaSmallBusiness #MadeWithLove #CardStockCrafts #CardStockPaper #PaperCrafting #CricutExplore #CricutMade #CricutAir2 #BabyEssentials #LiveCleanBaby #MakersGonnaMake #MakePrettyStuff #MakersOfInstagram #MakersOfIG #CardStock #CraftEssentials #CricutCanada #BizBabe #GrowMyHustle #DiaperCakes #OttawaIgers #SideHustleMoms (at Ottawa, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRAEZldFEA5/?utm_medium=tumblr
