This Chic Bebe Boy Card Kit can be used for either 4 sets of Baby Boy Cards with diecuts to match



OR you can do what I did and make a lovely little Envelope Mini-Album!




Step 1
Press out the envelopes and fold and stick leaving one end open (thank-you to Paige for being my 'hand' model while I held the camera!!!)

Should look like this when you squeeze the envelopes together




Step 2
To make some covers - cut out cardboard just a little bigger than the envelopes

Should look like this when held together




Step 3
I painted my covers (you could also glue matching cardstock or pattern paper if you prefer) but first I sealed the cardboard with gesso as I knew my paint was 'thin'.

Then painted the blue which is a 'glaze' blue




Step 4
Once the paint was dry (I did seal it with impasto - or you could use modgepode etc) I measured and hole punched x2 into the covers and envelopes and join with 2 jump rings




Step 5
Punch out the invitations from the kit and fold in half. You might like to sand off all the little 'taggy bits' from tearing away the diecuts



Step 6
Holepunch once in the middle and get ready to thread some ribbon

It should look like this:






Step 7
Insert into envelopes







Step 8
Time to decorate the cover...









EXTRAS:
On the inside...
I painted on one side of the envelopes - which will probably have quotes on it - and the otherside with the joins will have a photo attached..





LETS NOT STOP AT BOY COLOUR...
Why not try this too:



I've only placed some pink prima rosettes here - but you get the gist!





If you want to give the album away as a 'baby shower gift' like I do, then I'm going to add into my gift the extra ribbon and embellies so my friend can change it to a boy or a girl mini-album..

This was a joy to make!

I am so loving this little mini album and what a different projet you have created to Julie's cards from last week with exactly the same kit - you guys are geniouses (sp?)

Oh Mandy...wow...that is so divine and clever of you

Aaaaw thanks heaps Mel!!!

I love this Mandy......the pink on the blue is just devine.

gorgeous

Thanks Deb and Karen! Its really easy peasy to put together!!

Oh MAndy this is such an awesome way to use these cards! what a great way to think out side the card and in the otp! your so clever!

Thanks heaps bloss

just gorgeous missy

Absolutely stunning !!!

Thanks Ann!!


The embellies on the cover are only laid out on it because of being unsure of the sex of the baby..... it will look much better once done properly!

that's great interesting idea I never really thought about using one thing to make something different

Stunning Mandy!

WOW awesome idea Mandy
