Congrats on the birthday. Toddlers are my favorite! I don't have access to any pictures right now so I'll do my best to describe what I'm thinking of. What about a square 4 1/4x4 1/4 card decorated in whatever theme you'd like are you doing a themed party or does she have a favorite character?) Stamp/decorate/print a card size envelope (A6?), seal it and then cut off 1 or 1 1/2 inches the short end. Use a paper crimper or an embossing folder on the larger portion of the envelope and use the smaller cut as a "lid" once the card is on the inside.

ha! Found the tutorial

Crimped Envelope Pocket Card

In my searching I also saw a youtube video for creating an envelope for a 4 1/4 card that adds patterned paper to a cut a6 envelope.

Envelope for a 4.25 card

These don't give specific examples of thems or ideas, but I think the smaller square size would be so cute for 2 years old. Depending on how many cards you need to make, a large chipboard "2" with collaged black and white photos of her year would be cute.

Itz a gr88 idea....thugh i dnt hav stamps here...but can manage it wid drawing..but wat abt the crimper..i need to think of sumthing ...suggest me wat else can be done apart from crimper thing on the envelope..coz i really loved the idea..it will really work..i can either draw a cake or balloons or gift on the top..

If you don't have a crimper/embosiing folder, just fan-fold/accordian fold the bottom part of the envelope. The goal is the make the bottom slightly smaller or a little collaspible so that the smaller top section will fit over it.
