How adorable - how unique - how easy and inexpensive can this be!
Honestly, it didn't take me 15 minutes to pull this baby shower gift together. Genevieve's mother-to-be will love it.
I purchased the photo frame at Hobby Lobby using a 40% off coupon. I believe I ended up paying less than $10 for it. Also at Hobby Lobby I picked up a pretty sheet of paper to use for the background.
Back at home, I cut out the Girl and Bird image using white cardstock. The image and pink shadow were both cut using A Child's Year Cricut cartridge (6.25"). I ran the white cut thru my Cuttlebug using the Swiss Dots folder. Image was then glued to front of the background paper (that had been cut to 8" x 10").
Inset into photo frame.
Next I went to the Cricut Craftroom (free application) and created a welded font text of "Genevieve" that I cut out in white vinyl. Text was sized to be 6" long and created using the Songbird Cricut cartridge. A simple application of the vinyl to the front of the glass using Transfer Tape and I can call it done!
** Update **
I decided that I wanted make a more 3D effect to this project.
Using some leftover background paper, I cut out one of the yellow butterflies and glued some light yellow twine outlining the wings.
I also apply some Tacky Glue to rest of wings and sprinkled on glitter.
I attached to butterfly to outside of glass using Glossy Accents. Also, applied Glossy Accents to pink center of butterfly.
I like the 3D look.
