I am so excited about tonight's PTI felt challenge blog hop. It was great inspiration for my baby announcements. I am having a c-section in in 8 days and we don't know the sex of the baby, but I wanted to have the majority of my announcement done. The pictures you see are my daughter when she was a little one, but I had to have something for the effect LOL! My plan it to put a picture of the new baby and Izzy together on the front of the card.Here is the front. I used blue since I had that on hand, but it will be raspberry fizz if it is a girl LOL! The sentiment is from the tiny valentines set. I was going to put a regular button, but the shipping would be crazy on the 100 that I have to do, so the felt was a great solution. I cut out a 1" circle and then stiched the center. It was harder than I thought it would be to stich through the felt. If you have any suggestions on how to do that easier, I would love to hear!!!!!
This is the inside
It is a die from Stampin Up, but not sure of the name of it. It is a pop up and we are going to put a picture of just the new baby so that everyone will have a wallet picture. The blank space will be printed on white with all of the new baby details when we know them LOL!I can't wait to see all of the fabulous creations!
It's a good life!

ReplyDeleteAdorable! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Many blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing announcement! The recipients will be thrilled! Congratulations on your expected arrival - and all the best to you and your family as you welcome a new little one!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea for a baby announcement! The pop up die (I can't remember the name of the die either) is perfect for this. And the felt "button" is brilliant - much easier to mail than an real button. As for the sewing through felt, a thimble helps quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteVery clever pop-up! That is so cute! I love the photo that you used on the front!
ReplyDeleteHow creative, I love this!
ReplyDeleteadorable and all the best to you and your new addition :) Hope to hear about him or her on the next blog hop!!!! You would be amazingly crazy if you have time to participate!! LOL
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Hope all goes well with the delivery of the new baby too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to announce the new lil one. Best of luck w/ delivery.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute birth announcment -- and what a good idea to use felt instead of buttons. All the best as your family grows!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great button! Best of luck with your new addition...sending happy sleep vibes your way!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! The felt is a great idea instead of a button for shipping. Smart!
ReplyDeleteCongrats and Good Luck on the new baby coming.
Good gravy! Those will be the cutest announcements ever! :) Did you try punching or piercing the felt before sewing? Not sure either would help much, but might be worth a try with so many to do!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your c-section too! We had a c & didn't know the sex either- it was so fun- and it seemed like the c-section team thought so too! Such a happy surprise! Can't wait to hear if it's rasberry fizz or hawaiian shores!
HUGE but AMAZING project! Adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteAhhh! how cute!
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome :) Love the pop up! Great job girl! Hope you can play along in my challenges sometime!
ReplyDeleteWow really unique and cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing pop up! And eight days, or now it would be seven . . . wishing you all the best and envying you those sweet baby kisses you'll be getting soon!

ReplyDeleteWow a pop up!! Very cool idea!
ReplyDeleteThis is too cute!!! Congrats on the new baby :)
ReplyDeleteCongraulations, Terri!!! This is an aswesome announcement -- Love everything about it!!! Bet your daughter is beyond excited!!!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet! These are perfect baby announcements!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! Great idea with the pop up.
ReplyDeleteSUCH a cute announcement idea, and using felt as the button is a great mail-friendly solution - TFS! As for sewing, would the Fiskar (and other brands) hand-held hole punches cut thru the felt easily? They'd look like button holes and you could sew thru with NO issues!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your upcoming addition to the family!
Adorable idea and baby!
ReplyDeleteVery clever. They're going to be a great way to introduce your new little one. Best wishes for a safe delivery.
