Make train car envelopes. Punch a 3" square piece of red paper using the Clever Lever Envelope Punch from Marvy/Uchida. Punch out a blue envelope and a yellow checked envelope. Fold the envelopes along the scored lines created by the punch and glue the side flaps to the bottom flap of the envelope. Close and glue the top flap of the red envelope. Leave the top flap open for the blue and yellow envelopes. ©2007 Craft TV Weekly, Inc. It's a Girl! Make the engine. Cut a 1" 1/4" notch out of the top of the red envelope to form the cab and the hood of the train engine. 2 2 Cut a notch in the shape of the jagged edge of the letter “R” from the front of the train engine’s hood. 3 Punch out the window of the train engine. Slide train engine piece into the Baby Bottle Punch from Marvy/Uchida, so that the cab of the engine is centered under the bottle part of the punch and press the lever to punch out the window. Use a hole punch and punch two half circles at the bottom of train engine piece and at the bottom of the blue and yellow envelopes. These are the wheel wells. Adhere the train engine and the two envelopes onto a 7" 5" white card with tab adhesive to form a train. 4 Cut a small smoke stack shape out of red paper and adhere it to the top of the train engine. Cut a small rectangle and adhere it above the window of the engine’s cab. Glue a small button in each wheel well for the train’s wheels. If you can’t find buttons in colors to match your train, paint the buttons to match using DecoColor Duo Markers from Marvy/Uchida. These markers work great on a variety of surfaces including plastic! ©2007 Craft TV Weekly, Inc. It's a Girl! 5 3 Make some steam for the train. Use a stipple brush and stipple blue ink onto a scrap of white paper. Use the Clever Lever Feet Punch and punch several pairs of feet out of the stippled paper. Adhere the feet above the train’s smoke stack. Add the finishing touches. Use the Silver DecoColor Duo Marker from Marvy/Uchida to draw lines connecting each train car to the one behind it. 6 Insert index sized photos into one car of the train, and a small 1 7/8" 1" birth announcement into the other car. With a black pen, write “Announcing a New Arrival” under the train to complete the announcement. 1 IT'S A Girl! Use the Clever Lever Envelope Punch from Marvy/Uchida and punch out four envelopes from white paper. Glue the flaps of the envelopes closed. Punch one more envelope from pink patterned paper. Glue the side flaps to the bottom flap, but leave the top flap open for this envelope. Make grass. Fringe the top of a 1 7/8" 1 1/4" piece of green paper, cutting different widths along the top long edge. Once the entire edge has been fringed, go back and cut off every other “blade”. Trim the remaining blades to different lengths. ©2007 Craft TV Weekly, Inc. It's a Girl! Tuck the grass into the pink patterned envelope so it is sticking out of the open flap. Mat the four white envelopes on a piece of pink Wafu Gami Paper from Marvy/Uchida, arranging them so that they overlap from top to bottom and are offset. Adhere the pink envelope on top of the white envelopes, overlapping the bottom two envelopes. Use Bethany’s Matting Technique and trim the Wafu Gami paper leaving about 1/8" border. 3 4 2 Adhere the envelope block to a pre-made 3 3/4" 5" white card. With a black pen, write “the family has grown” across the bottom of the card. Glue a small pink flower-shaped button in the grass. Print the birth announcement or shower invitation details on white paper. Trim to 3 1/2" 4 1/2" and adhere to the inside of the card on the right side. Punch out another envelope from pink patterned paper using the Clever Lever Envelope Punch. Glue the side flaps to the bottom flap, but leave the top flap open for this envelope.. Adhere the open envelope inside the card on the left side. Insert a 1 1/4" 1 3/4" baby photo in the envelope to finish the card. 1 Party Favors! Decorate a plastic candy bag from the craft store with flowers using DecoColor Glitter Markers from Marvy/Uchida. Slip a lollipop into the bag and tie the bag around the lollipop stick with a ribbon. Paint grass and the party guest’s name on 4" clay flower pot using DecoColor Duo markers. Add a foam base to the pot for stability. Cover with green jelly beans and insert the lollipop. ©2007 Craft TV Weekly, Inc. It's a Girl! Centerpiece A watering can decorated with the Marvy/Uchida DecoColor Markers and ribbons makes a great centerpiece for a baby shower or a gift for the new mom. Wafu Gami paper flowers with the baby’s name and birthdate add a personal touch. Fill with fresh flowers on the day of the shower. Candy Tub DecoColor flowers decorate this little galvanized tub. Filled with candy or nuts, it makes a cute table decoration for baby’s shower. Congratulations You’ve just completed your It’s a Girl! cards, but the fun doesn’t stop there!
