Hi friends, it’s Christina! Today is day one of Stencil Theme Week here at Pretty Pink Posh, and I have an adorable inspiration project to share with you. I chose one of my all-time favorite stencils for this project, the Layered Onesies. Those little white onesies on kraft cardstock are just the cutest!

Layered Onesies Stencils
Onesie Shaker Dies
Baby Basics Stamp Set
Baby Basics Coordinating Dies
Streamer Dies
Evergreen State Shaker Beads
Stargazer Clay Confetti
Sentiment Strips Dies

Let’s start with the background. On a kraft cardstock panel measuring 4 x 5 ¼ inches, stencil the onesies. Use a white pigment ink for the first layer, let that dry for a little while, and then use Distress Oxide Inks for the second layer. The colors I used were Cracked Pistachio, Tumbled Glass, and Uncharted Mariner. I alternated colors for each row of onesies.

Next, die cut the fishtail banner streamer from the Streamer die set from white cardstock two times. Then die cut the coordinating banner pieces from mint green, light blue, and navy cardstock. Assemble these and attach them to your background panel.

Time to create the shaker! This is an easy shaker assembly. Die cut the Onesie Shaker frame eight times from mint cardstock. Die cut the whole onesie once from mint green cardstock for the base of the shaker and once from clear acetate for the shaker window. Sandwich the acetate between two of the onesie frames, securing with liquid adhesive, and stack the remaining frames behind it to create the walls of the shaker. Fill the shaker with shaker beads and attach the base to complete the shaker. Easy! Secure the shaker on your background panel right over the streamers and add a white heart detail. 

Let’s finish up this shaker card! Stamp the baby blocks from the Baby Basics set on the coordinating cardstock colors with clear embossing ink and heat emboss with white embossing powder. Die cut them and attach them to your card panel. I attached each of my blocks slightly offset for a whimsical touch. Next, heat emboss the partial sentiment “welcome little” from the same set with white embossing powder on navy cardstock. Die cut it with a sentiment strip and attach it above the blocks to complete the sentiment for the card. Finally, add a few clay stars for embellishment.

And that completes this new baby shaker card featuring the Layered Onesies Stencils set. Be sure to check out all the incredible inspiration during Stencil Theme Week here on the blog!
