I made these for the mommy for the baby shower I just helped throw. It was a vintage sports themed shower (more decorations to come when I get the pics). I purchased this really cute vintage sports paper to wrap the water bottles and used the scrap on the thank you cards
When I help host a baby shower, I always make the thank you cards for the mom and bring the blank envelopes to the shower. I pass them around and have everyone self address them. This way, the mom only needs to write a note and pop it in the envelope. No need to look up addresses....one less thing the sleep deprived mom needs to worry about! :)
Supplies:
Card blank
Printer
Scrap paper
Glue or sewing machine
How to:
Run a piece of scrap paper through first so you know how your printer is aligned. Then just stack your card(s) in and hit print. (This printable is set to print on a 5 1/2" x 8" sheet of paper....which is the size of the card before you fold it in half. ;)
I used the standard 4" x 5 1/2" which fits an A2 envelope. I buy bank note card packages when they are on sale. They come in white and Kraft paper. If you get them on sale, they are only $0.09 per card! Not bad...especially since the rest was done using scraps!
I strategically punched out the pennants so that you could see the baseball stitching, basketball and soccer ball, but these would look cute in any color combos.
Then I stitched them on! I didn't bother gluing (since I was doing a lot) and didn't need the extra step. If your not a sewer...go ahead and glue them on where you want them. You can take a pen and "draw" in the pennant strings either in between each pennant or right over the top.
