Little Darlings

Baby Carriage

'Baby'

Hello dear G45ers! 

Happy to share with you my #G45LightSide 
project this month featuring the sweet
 Little Darlings Deluxe Collector's Edition.

This Graphic 45 collection is just so 

ADORABLE and I was thrilled to 

see it back as a DCE! I have decided

 to create this super cute Baby Carriage
 with my Silhouette. I have also  

used lots of die-cuts, fussy-cut 
pieces, lace, wool, flowers and 
pretty bows to put it all together.

Herewith the Supplies and Instructions you 

may use to recreate such a project:

G45 Supplies used:

Little Darlings Deluxe Collector's Edition

Other Supplies:

Silhouette Cut File
Baby Stroller by Rivka Wilkins Design ID 27880

Various Dies

Chipboard Wheels

Pins

Eyelet & Brads

Flat back Pearls

Buttons

Flowers

Pom Pom Yarn/Wool

Lace 

Pearl String

Resin Heart Frame Embellishment

Resin Zipper Embellishment

Double Sided Tape

Watercolor Paper
White Paint

Cut a baby carriage (2 sets) from the
 pattern sheets in the collection
using the cut file from the Silhouette.
Pink Carriage: 
- Remove the tabs and the handle.
-  Separate the carriage, cut off the sides 
on the perforated lines, you should
 have 3 pieces.

Tip: The pieces of the pink carriage 

will be adheredto the inside of the 

polka dot carriage after assembling. 

This will cover up the tabs showing 

on the inside and will aso make it

 sturdy enough to support the 

weight of the wheels.

Polka Dot Carriage:
- Remove the handle.
- Adhere the tabs with red
 double sided tape.
- Assemble accordingly.

Tip: Using red double sided tape will 

make assembly easier and will also

 prevent the box from falling apart.

Cut a few die-cut leaves, butterflies,

flowers, swirl shapes, borders

and a heart for decoration.

Cut one baby picture from the collection

 with a square stitched die and a circle

 from watercolor paper. Add the sticker 

from the collectionon top of the

 circle die-cut shape.

Cut a few bows from the pattern sheets. 

Fasten with a brad.

Tip: Curl two bow strips forming a curve

 using the back endof a pencil or 

similar object. This makes folding the 

end pieces together a little easier.

Fussy-cut some of the baby pictures

 from the pattern sheets. I cut a few

 because I was not sure which

 one of these would fit best in the carriage.

Tip: You can use the extra pieces on 

another project. It is always 

nice to have some extra fussy-cut

 pictures form a collection on hand.

I had the wheels laser cut from wood 

and chipboard. The chipboard wheels

 I heat embossed with white embossing 

powder and adheredthem to the wooden 

wheels. I was not happy with the wheels and 

it did not match the colours of my project

 so I did not use them in the end. I used

 some extra chipboard wheels instead and

these I painted with white paint. I also 

used the same size instead of one

 big and on small wheel.

I played around with lots of lace 

that I had in my stash that I 

wanted to use on my carriage. Making 

sure I chose the right colours to 

match the colours of my project.

Make a new handle for the carriage

 by cutting two strips from the pattern

 sheets. Adhere the two pieces

 together making sure the pattern 

shows in opposite directions.

Tip: You want the handle to look

 the same on the inside as on the outside.

Add some pom pom yarn/wool

 and lace to the inside of the

 carriage (do not glue) and then 

place one of the fussy-cut 

baby pictures on top.

Tip: You want this to look real, 

so play with the lace around the

 fussy-cut picture making sure it looks 

like the 'baby' is tucked in the 'blankets.'

Add the pretty bows on the sides

 and on the back of the carriage.

 Add a button and flat back pearl to

 the centre of the wheels.

Tip: Adding a button and then a flat back 

pearl will give some colour to the wheel. 

Make sure you can still see a bit of the button.

Add a flower on top of the bow
and tuck a pom pom yarn/wool piece
behind it. Add a chipboard circle

from the collection to the flower.
These chipboard pieces from the
collection are so darling and

make pretty neat embellishments.

Add an eyelet to the chipboard
piece and cover the circle sticker
with a resin heart embellishment.

Tuck in some more fussy-cut
pictures and a button chipboard
embellishment behind the frame.

Add the the square die-cut piece to

 the the other sideof the carriage, 

tuck it in behind the bow.

Add flat back pearls to the

 centre of the butterflies.

 Happy Papercrafting!
