Hi - looking for a Baby Shower Gift?
I designed a notecard set which uses really simple shapes and soft colours which could be used as a gift for an expectant Mom - or even for yourself if you'd like to have a sweet collection of ready-made cards. I chose soft colours when I was first experimenting, and liked the results, but you could substitute many colour combinations!
Recycle some scraps. Create a fun grid of polka dots by using the small 1/2 inch circle punch......and our RETIRING Trio Flower Punch (can't believe it!) to add interest.
A butterfly - highlights the polka dot as well.
The box is 9 inch x 5-1/2 inch with a 1/2 inch base scored in the middle. Two strips of paper, scored to make 3 sections, each 1/2 inch wide, are attached along the sides.
The front panel has a half -circle cut away to create a pocket to tuck a tag into.
Embossing the cardstock with polka dots and a simple design means the cards can be used for many purposes - thank you, birth announcement, 1rst birthday......etc. Flexibility!
To help the appearance, I staggered the height of the cards - this way,
all the colours show when stored in the box.
Close-up of box and cut-out front section with tag.
Time to make: 1 hour or less.
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Hope you try this - email me for instructions if you like!
