Hello everyone!! It’s Top Dog Die Wednesday!! I’m here with a die that was totally a lifesaver for me.
My nieces mom called me a couple of weeks ago and wanted to know if I could make 100 baby shower invitations for her coworker’s daughters.
I said absolutely!! They wanted a onesie with the colors hot pink and leopard. My first thought was to just create a digital invite but as I created the invite, I wasn’t impressed.
So, I decided to make the card out of an actually onesie. I knew I didn’t have any die that would make my job easier. I thought about cutting out the invite, but when the number 100 started swirling, I decided against that.
So I went on a search for a onesie die!! Just my luck, Top Dog Die had actually what I wanted. Check out these die:
Take a look at my invite:
I loved how this invite turn out. Nice and elegant.
When I first started, I messed up about 10 sheets of paper that ended up in the trash. I tried pattern paper and I wasn’t getting the look I wanted. So I searched high and low for pattern paper that fits with what the customer wanted.
Yayyy, I found the paper in two different Micheal’s store. I bought 50 sheets of this paper.
This is how I created theses invites:
1. I used the die to die cut the onesie out of this leopard paper.
2. I added a white bow to the outside.
3. I typed the invite information and then die cut that out with the finisher die set.
4. I boxed them up and tied a pretty bow on the box.
Nice and easy!!
So what do you think?
The supplies are hard to list since I’m not sure what the paper is called. The pattern paper and ribbon is from Micheal’s.
You could us any paper you would like and design the card in tons of different ways!
The box is Stampin’ Up! Extra Large Gift Boxes and the ribbon is a retired Stampin Up product.
Thank you for stopping by!

They are super cute and will fit on any box, card and scrapbook page. The stitched edges are so pretty!
Take a look at my totally awesome gift box:
You can give this box to anyone, simply change the sentiment from “Be Mine” to something that would suit your recipient.
I used the heart die from Top Dog Dies Heart Mini Album Finishers Die Set, to create all of those small hearts on my box!!
Take a closer look at my box:
I attached the tag under one of the glitter hearts and it fit perfectly. No string needed!!
I added the glitter hearts on both sides of the box. This box is big enough to hold a nice size gift!!

2. I put the box together buy folding on the score lines. I added my chocolate to the box now because when I add the decorations to the box, you can’t open it back.
3. I used my retired Stampin’ Up! Scallop border punch to create the scallop border out of Stampin Up! Cherry Cobbler cardstock.
4. I attached the border punched cardstock to the edge of the white cardstock. Then I adhered the entire piece to the takeout box using Tombow X-treme adhesive.

Hello everyone!! Kymona here sharing my very first Top Dog Dies Design Team post with you today!! I’m super excited to be here and I hope you love what I’m about to share with you!!
Today I’m working with one of the new dies that was released on Tuesday!!
Take a look at what I created for you:
These feathers are super fun to work with. I love the detail on each feather! So you want to know how I created this card?
Here you go:
1. I cut a piece of watercolor paper down to 4.25 x 5.50 and taped it down to my work station.
2. I added a good amount of water to my watercolor paper.
3. Then I dropped Distress Inks Broken China and Evergreen Bough to my paper and let the color spread all over my paper. I heat set it. Then I sprayed water in my hand and drop some drops of water onto my paper to create blotches of white spots.
4. Once my watercolor piece dried. You can see in the next photo how watercolor dries lighter.
5. I used my feather dies and cut out three feathers.
6. I adhered the flowers together with glue dots and tied a bow using linen thread.
7. I used the same color inks and a clean pencil erasers and added the dots surrounding my feathers.
8. I adhered the feathers over those dots using glue dots.
9. I used Simon Says Stamp Sending & Wishing stamp set to create my sentiment. I stamped it to the right of the flowers.
10. I used my corner chomper to round two of the cards corners.
That is all it took to create this card. I love how it turned out and I hope you will give this technique a try.
Very elegant without any real hard work.
So what do you think? I would love to hear from you.

Aren’t these cats the cutest you’ve seen!!! When I saw this die, I knew I wanted them to close together looking out to something.

7. I adhered the squares to the front of my card panel.
