Baby congratulations card!


Here is my first card I'm posting!! I have others made but haven't sent them yet. I made this one for my stepsister, who just had a baby boy last week. I had this set of stickers from scrapbooking a page on the San Diego Zoo and thought they would be perfect for a little boy. So many bright colors!

My biggest challenge was figuring out how to get things written on the inside, but I think I developed a good system — I cut a piece of white paper a little smaller than the outside of the card, wrote on it, then glued the right side completely onto the card. To keep the left side from just flopping closed onto it, I put glue just on the corners and stuck them to the card — that way, it's not pulling and causing tension when it opens and closes :)

My next cards will be sent off in February, but check back for some other fun little projects before then!

  1. Cute! And I would love to dig into that bag of paper with you. Oh, and I scrapped your wedding on Saturday. It came out cute. I think you'll like it. Although I realized I didn't have very many pictures either. I'll be around in the evenings. :-)
