MO MANNING BABY CARD AND ONESIE

This was my second card and iron on transfer onesie.  They really are my favorite way to make a baby gift and pretty darn easy to do.  I love Mo Manning's images and this is her "Late".  Such a cute bunny with his big floppy ears.  Colored with Copics and iron on transferred to the onesie. The sentiment was cut from a 12 x 12 sheet of vellum sentiments that was from my stash and mounted with brads.  The technique for this is to color your image, save it to your computer and then you can print it on to the onesie.  You can see that I haven't managed to "flip" my image so it is the reverse of the original.  Next time.

This is a little washed out but you can see how big you can make the image.

Supplies:

Mo Manning Digital Image "Late"

Copic sketch markers

Carter Onesies - Amazon

Silhouette Cameo

Doodlebug Pearls

PIXIE DUST ARK BABY CARD

My Niece had her baby in June and here it is almost the end of August and I have just now finished the card and the present.  When I started the card in June  I wanted to see if I could get the image into the Cameo so I wouldn't have to cut it by hand. I was able to do that but it was a process( for a later blog).  I had also ordered some adorable onesies from Fab.com but they still haven't arrived!  So card not made, presents not sent. 

Then to the rescue came this blog post, (now removed 2016)  http://mrsweyremaster.blogspot.com/search/label/Pixie%20Dust%20Studio

Suzie McKenzie  had taken the digital image and colored it in PS and then printed it onto iron on transfer paper. Wow, make digi images into iron on images,  what a great idea!  My problem was that I had already colored the image with Copics and had no idea how to use Photoshop elements to color like Suzi did.   So, I took a photo, edited it in PSE and then printed it onto the transfer paper. I used the erase tool to get rid of the background and did some color correction.  Then I printed and went to iron it on.   Lets just say the second one came out perfectly.  They don't tell you to CUT AROUND the image....

Well it is finally done and I am so happy with how it came out.  Thank you Suzi  for your great idea!

I will use this idea again as it really isn't too difficult and it is such a personal gift.

            I changed the roof to thatch and used Copics and Copic        
Multiliners.  There are so many colors in the roof
but it is hard to tell from my photo. 
 I double backed the giraffe head so he wouldn't get damaged.

The papers are all from my stash as is the button.  
The natural twine in the button is May Arts.
