Capturing those precious moments with babies and toddlers deserves something extra special. Whether you're new to baby scrapbooking or looking to try a fresh, modern take, the brand-new Altenew Fresh Pears Layering Die Set makes it easy to add warmth, playfulness, and a touch of whimsy to your layouts and mini albums.

Hello crafty friends! It's Reiko with you today to share new creative ideas featuring the Creative Cuts: Fresh Pears Layering Die Set from Altenew.

Today, I'm showing you how to bring the theme "Pear of my eye" to life with two scrapbook projects - one 6x6-inch scrapbook layout and one mini book spread, both perfect for highlighting adorable baby photos or sweet toddler memories.

Why Choose a Pear Theme for Baby Scrapbooking?

Fruit motifs, especially pears, evoke softness and sweetness -exactly the vibe many crafters search for in baby or toddler keepsakes. With the Fresh Pears Layering Die Set, you can easily create layered pear design in soft pastels or cheerful phrase "Pear of my eye" - a playful twist on the classic "Apple of my eye" - to instantly convey affection and showcase your little one as something truly cherished.

Using the Fresh Pear Layering Die is an adorable way to enhance baby and toddler-themed memory keeping projects. The die's playful fruit shapes also evoke feelings of growth, sweetness, and childhood, making them perfect for layouts that document little milestones.

For my first project, I created a 6x6 -inch scrapbook layout. I started by cutting several pears in varying shades of green and yellow using the Fresh Pears Layering Die Set. To create a 6x6 -inch background, I used two pieces of card stock - one covered with wide washi tape and the other embossed with the Cozy Sweater 3D Embossing Folder.

Mini Book Pages with Dimensional Details

Mini albums are another great way to showcase layering dies, and the Fresh Pears Layering Die Set adds a delightful handmade feel. On my minibook spread, I die-cut in pink shades and used them to highlight a toddler snapshot.

The compact size and playful die-cuts make these pages fun to flip through - and easy to replicate for gifts or themed sets.

Design Tips for Baby and Toddler Projects

Stick with gentle pastels, muted greens, or fresh spring colors for soft nursery vibes.
For an even softer look, gently blend green ink around your pear die-cuts with a sponge or blending brush.

The Fresh Pears Layering Die Set gives you endless options to create playful, memorable, and heartfelt scrapbook pages and minibook spreads.
