Pocket Baby Announcement

Photo Details

Poster: sherristampsalot

Made these for a friend...they were a lot of fun. There is a gable green sailboat stamped over the date/weight info if it doens't show up on the scan. The envelopes had a brilliant blue sailboat on the bottom left corner. A circle is punched on the front flap and the sailboat (on white) is put behind the circle--sort of like a window.

Great announcement! I was thinking of doing a pocket card for my announcements as well...do you have the template for this? If you could send it to me, that'd be great!

The great thing about it is that there is no template!! Cut an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of cardstock in half lengthwise. Score it at 5 1/2 (which is in half), and 8 7/8 (that makes the flap--and can be adjusted if you need the flap bigger or smaller). Fold it at the half mark and then fold the flap down to the front. Sides can be hooked together with eyelets, ribbons, staples...etc. For this one, I punched out a large circle (it's not a SU punch) and put the sailboat BEHIND the hole.
