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!
interesting idea I never really thought about using one thing to make something different
