Default Need ideas/examples for Birth Announcements
A friend at work is going on her 6th month of pregnancy, I'd like to do her birth announcements for her as my gift to her. I've never done one before.. and since I'm just starting with the whole stamping thing, my "collection" is pretty limited.

If you have any examples or ideas for Birth Announcments I'd love to see them.

I use Stampin' Up supplies.

Thanks
God bless,
Michelle

Thanks. I tried to type in "Birth Announcements" and just "Birth" and nothing came up for the first one, and only a few birthday ones....but I didn't think to type in "Baby" Thanks for the suggestion!!!

God bless,
Michelle

Here is one from my gallery that I did for my son: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...&ppuser=104752. They were pretty easy to do. If you are interested, I have an extra packet of tags left that you could have...

I also tried to search for birth announcements in the gallery. I came up with a whole bunch: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...+announcements.

HTH and have fun!!

Smile Bith announcements
Here's a birth announcement (pocket card) and another view of one I made for a co-worker.

In addition, here's the link to Birth Announcements in the Occasions Gallery. There are a ton of fantastic examples.

Default Double Pocket Card - Birth Announcements
Hi there -
I made these for a customer last year...they are double pocket cards and one insert is for the "info" and the smaller is for a picture of the baby.

Good Luck! Baby stuff is so much fun to make!

I would talk to your coworker first to ensure she doesn't already have announcements ordered. If she does then you may want to make her thank you cards instead (for her to send out after the baby shower.)

My SIL asked me to make my nieces announcements. I kept it simple (no stamping) and they turned out ADORABLE. I had her do her footprints and scan them into the computer. I then printed the footprints and matted them and overlayed with the printed vellum which contained all the details. Attached it all with a little no tie bow and they were done.

HTH with a different idea.

That's a good idea..but I actually already DID talk to my co-worker to let her know that I'd like to do the anouncements for her.

Can I see a picture of the one you are talking about?

Thanks
God bless,
Michelle

'Onsie' cards make cute announcements too and they don't require much stamping, mostly punching.
