Baby girl gift basket!

Good afternoon everyone.

I wanted to share a project that I just finished for my DH's cousin's wife. They just had a little girl this morning named Alaxandria . Mom, baby and dad are doing well.

I wanted to make a little gift basket with baby stuff inside. Here is what I came up with.

I bought the little wooden "bucket" per se...at Hobby Lobby and got some basic essentials. Desitin, Baby Lotion, Hand Sanitizer, Bibs, Wash Clothes, and a little outfit. I put all that down in the bottom of the bucket. I cut out all the images sticking out from the New Arrival cartridge.

Here is a closer look at the the top half.

I made a bunch of these little "roses" by folding rolling and then folding over tiny little baby socks. I bought a few silk rose branches at Hobby Lobby and pulled the silk flower off.
Each of the New Arrival items I cut several times and layed to give them a little depth and help sturdy them. I cut the baby dress at 5". I layered three prima flowers and a jeweled brad for the flower. I tied three tiny bows and adhered them to the bottom of the dress with glue dots. On the scalloped bottom I also added tiny adhesive pearls to each scallop. For the bloomers I cut them in a different shade of pink and ran them through the cuttlebug to help them look a little more frilly.
These little baby feet I cut from New Arrival at 3 inches on glitter paper. The scalloped layers I cut from my Nestabilites. I embossed the white with my Swiss Dots cuttlebug folders.

The stork I cut at 5 1/2 inches. I cut him 3 times. His hat is cut from the same glitter paper as the feet. I put a ribbon for the band on his hat and added some adhesive pearls from Michaels.
I also added a small ribbon around his neck.

The bottle is cut at 4 inches. I ran the bottom part of the bottle through the cuttlebug using a Fiskers striped embossing plate. The white "milk" part showing through the bottle was also run through the cuttlebug and I added liquid glaze to make it a little more shiny so it looked like milk. The "sucky" part was cut in beige. And I added a little ribbon.

This rattle is probably my favorite. I cut it at 5 a bunch of times. I ran the top part through the cuttlebug. The three little flowers are Paper Studio brads from Hobby Lobby. I blinged out the handle with some adhesive gems also from Hobby Lobby and tied a small ribbon.

The wording on the tag is computer generated. The tags are cut from Nestabilites. I added an eyelet to run ribbon through and tied it on the main ribbon attached to the box.

The baby carriage I believe was cut at 4 1/2. I cut many many layers of this. The bottom of the carriage is embossed with the Cuttlebug using a Fiskars heart plate. The hood of the carriage is cut from patterned paper that had a lacy look to it. The baby blanket is cut from pink vellum to give it a softer look. It's hard to see in the photo. I added adhesive pearls to the fold in the hood and on the handle. I glued a ribbon to seperate the baby blanket and the hood and added a skittle. I also added to skittles to the base of the wheel.

Thanks so much for taking the time to check out all the pictures.

Hope you have a great day!
