Here is a lineup of the announcement and the details. The pullout has the birth info and on the back I put a photo of my son and stamped the sentiment from the Bundled in Love set. This photo shows the announcement with the insert, the insert front and back, and the empty pocket.
Whew!! I finally finished all my baby announcements (started in March 2007, finished in early October 2007 - that's with working part time and taking care of two kids). I mailed all of them in October (so i'm all done!! WOO HOO!!) I made 120 of them.
Here are the measurements:
Pocket: 4 1/4" x 11" (8 1/2" x 11" cut vertically)
score at 5 1/2" and 1 1/2" Use brads to secure pocket.
Insert/Pullout - 3" x 4 7/8" (this makes it perfectly fit into the pocket.
i used the small corner rounder punch and the round tab punch. I also used the large oval punch for the sentiment. I outlined the layer for the large oval punch, traced on cardstock, cut out each creamy caramel layer, then distressed edges, and rolled on chocolate chip ink pad (to make the edges darker).
Also, I tied 120 knots on all those bears (that I cut out with my paper snips), so I will be putting together a photo step-by-step on tying the perfect knot.

Really, really nice work!! How beautiful. I want to case this for birthday thank you's for my twins. Your work is awesome. I love this stampset. Great, great job. Everyone that receives one is going to be blown away---and of course will want you to make multiples for them and their occasions.
Thanks for sharing.
Stay well,
AnnMarie

I've been looking for something a little different to do for my own birth announcements - your card may be just what I'm looking for. I think your announcements are fantastic! I can't believe you made so many, and tied knots for all of them. Wow!
