I am knee deep in baby announcements this week (and probably next week too). I know, Michelle is shuddering right now at the idea of mass production but I find it kind of relaxing. The mom wanted pink but not the traditional bright pink so we went with my personal favorite, rose red.
Pair that rose with chocolate chip and my fingers are doing the happy dance as they work. This is a simple pocket card. I started with a 9 1/4 x 4 1/4 inch piece of cardstock and score it at 3 3/4 inches so my final dimensions are a traditional A2 card size.
The feet are from Stampin' Up and stamped with rose red. The other layer of rose cardstock is stamped with a textured harlequin background from TAC in rose red. The mom will give me wallet sized pictures for the inside card which fit just perfectly on this 3 x 5 inch tag. I will also print all the baby info on the back side of the photo tag.
Alrighty, enough of a break. I have 60 of these to make, you know.
I used Miracle Tape (bought from Viva Las Vegas stamps)to adhere the sides of the pocket. If I was only using one or two, I could have also used my red line tape. Either way, I went with a 1/4" tape.

That's a cute and simple card. I would like to try to make something like that. Did you use a simple glue for it?

60 is a ton!!! But they look awesome. I hope she loves them. Rose Red really is the perfect shade for so many things. I don't think you can go wrong there!

You need to do how many? Wow, I think I made ten of one lately . . . that's about my limit! And I like the rose with the chocolate chip, nice combo!

This is just adorable! What a cute idea for sharing the new baby picture. I may have tuck it away for future use...
I like mass producing sometimes although 20 is about my limit

60 of these? SIXTY? Holy hat. You are getting paid for this, aren't you? Dang.... Well, sixty of these and not having months to do them, mass-producing is the way to go for sure ;)
