Baby Boy Elephant Page

A friend's shower was coming up and what would I do for a gift?   I always like to give something personal and special whenever possible. Something for the nursery would be perfect for this second baby boy.  Matching the nursery theme, colors, and of course the new baby's name I created this sweet page to put into a frame and hang on the wall.

I started with supplies already in my stash from several different places.

I laid out the basic form of the page and places for photos as soon as the bundle of joy arrives.

Then I went to work on the details.  I love to add dimension on pages in a shadow box frame so I made a multi-layer of the sweet elephant stamp.  I just stamped several copies and fussy cut them all out.   Then I added form pop-ups in between to give the elephant some great dimension.

Made a custom handmade banner with his name by cutting out strips and using a square punch to make the banner points on the bottom.

 

The final product turned out cute as a bug and perfect for the nursery.

 

I hope this inspires you to craft something special!
