Creating sweet projects for a baby shower can be oh-so-fun with Creative Memories Hello Baby Collections. I love to create some fun little handcrafted projects for any event that I am hosting. In this case–a baby shower!
Welcoming a precious little one into this world is exciting! In lieu of setting out a traditional guest book at the shower, I created this fun framed signature art piece and placed it into a frame for the day of the event. Each attendee signed a balloon – so fun!
This treasured piece can be kept in the frame for the little one to look at as they grow up to see all the people who have loved and supported them from the beginning. Or, you can remove the signed piece from the frame and add it to their scrapbook to look back at when they page through their memories of childhood. It will definitely be a cherished treasure.
To create the fun guestbook frame, you’ll need:
- Hello Baby Boy Paper Pack
- Hello Baby Embellishment Pack
- 12-Inch Straight Trimmer
- Custom Cutting System with Circles
- Foam Squares
- Brown Pen
Step 1: Cut out the cream paper to measure 8” x 10”.
Step 2: Adhere the rocking horse embellishment to the lower portion of the paper using foam squares.
Step 3: Cut out numerous circles using the CCS-Circles. Adhere in a cluster towards the top of the paper.
Step 4: Using a brown pen draw the lines from the “balloons” to the rocking horse.
Step 5: Have guests sign the circles/”balloons”.
To create the Ready To Pop Bag Topper, you will need:
- Hello Baby Boy Paper Pack
- Original Border Maker System with Button Chain Cartridge

Step 1: Measure the length of the sandwich bag. Cut the green paper to measure that length by 3”. Fold in half length-wise.

Step 3: Print “ready to pop” on white cardstock on your personal printer. Cut into strip, add to the other ribbons.
Step 4: Add paper clip to the top of the topper, tying a ribbon onto the clip.
