The requirements that were asked for this invitation was to gather inspiration from the pink Pinterest board made for the shower. I love when clients kinda know what they want, but don't have any exact specifications. It makes it easier for me!
I had a hard time figuring out what to call this idea, but I'm sure you get the gist of it: I'm trying to show you how to make your own gift card pocket out of a store bought card that wasn't meant to have a gift card in it. Because those types of cards seems to cost more than regular cards and I always just go for $1 cards anyways... So here's a quick, money saving trick to make your own card to hold a gift card!
And it seriously was quick. I'm talking maybe 5 minutes of your time - 10 minutes tops if you're having issues with your sewing machine...
Tools you will need:
scissors/paper cutter
cardstock paper
thread
sewing machine
card
gift card
pencil (optional)
1. Cut your cardstock into a pocket that will fit your gift card. I found that 4.25"x2.25" was a good size. It gave plenty of room to sew with.2. Sew your pocket onto the card. Make sure to backstitch on the top seams.
3. Trim your thread and it's done!
This year marks our third Teddy Bear Picnic! If you haven't heard of it before, I don't blame you. It seems as if everyday there is some type of funky national holiday to celebrate something, which can bring more fun to everyday life!
I read an article about what makes a happy family, and one of the items on there was to celebrate the little things, like Pie Day or National Chocolate Chip Day. I know not every mom has time for that sort of thing, which is reasonable, your kids will turn out fine, but for those who want to, this is an idea to make another day of summer something special.
If you're doing it with just your kids, great! If you want to make it a party with some friends, here are some free invitations you can print out to announce your special party! You can ask them to bring their favorite stuffed animal and a sack lunch or a treat to share. Either way works out great.
Have fun!
