Cute handmade cards are a great way to welcome a newborn into the world.
The nappy pin card is made by placing a piece of sheer paper over a bright coloured base card. Fold the card in half and make holes at the top with a hole punch. Insert ribbon and tie in a bow to secure the layers together.
The babysuit card is made by cutting a babysuit shape from a scrap of towelling fabric. Fold a coloured card in half, glue the babysuit to the centre front, then handwrite the details of the baby’s birth in ink.
The folded nappy card is made by cutting a sheet of printed paper into a nappy-like shape, then trimming a card to the correct shape and size so that, when paper and card are placed together, a nappy look is created. Add a bow where the ends of the paper meet. Place a card with details of the baby’s birth inside the paper nappy.
The pram card, is made by folding a sheet of printed card in half then gluing a smaller rectangle of contrasting plain coloured card (cut with pinking shears ) onto the centre of the card. Cut a pram shape, handle shape, legs and wheel shapes from another contrasting coloured card and glue these onto the centre of the plain coloured rectangle, adding details in ink, if desired.
