Welcome to the Paper Piecings By Nikki March Blog Hop "Anything Goes". Our Design Team went crazy and did what ever they felt inspired to do.

3D Baby Onesie and Gift Card Holder

I just became a Creative Team member for Cutting Edge Magazine, and I'm going to try to use my blog more often!  So, if you popped over here from CuttingEdge I'd love for you to become a follower, and leave me feedback on my projects!  If you didn't come here from CuttingEdge you should stop over and subscribe to their Magazine!  It's very reasonably priced and packed full of great information and crafty projects!  This cute little 3D boy gift box was made with the 3D baby onesie file from Paper Piecings by Nikki.  The file comes with a cute little monkey file for on the front.  I decided to change it up a bit and use one of Nikki's bears instead.  If you're having a baby shower these are adorable for game prizes filled with little bags of candy tied with a pretty ribbon.  Guests love them!  The little girl onesie card I also made by altering the file a little bit, and using a little charm for the appearance of a necklace.  You will also notice a small pink binder clip attached to the pink card.  I used this to hold the gift card inside securely.  If you haven't checked out Nikki's new site just click on the top right icon and it will take you to Nikki's new store. Her prices are super low, and her files are super cute!  If you are interested in this file it can be found under bags and boxes in her store.
