One of my favorite parts of getting the DT kit each month, is digging through to see what suprise element has been included. This month I was tickled to find a piece of sheer delights from KI Memories. In the past, I have made cards that have a window or a piece of vellum in the middle, but this month I decided to try the reverse. I cut a 10"x5" rectangle and scored and folded it in the middle. I rounded the corners with a corner punch. Using a Scalloped Nestability, I cut (2) squares out of blue (front and back) and (2) squares out of white (insides). It was easy to line them up and cover up the adhesive.
"It's a Boy!" is a rub on from my stash, but it would be easy enough to print up the "new baby" details on a computer and then die cut them later.
The last detail was to punch holes through the card along the folded edge, 1/2" from the top and the bottom. Using a needle, I ran the floss through the holes and then added the beads, creating a little tassle at the end as I tied it off. It was really very simple, and I think this would also make very distinctive wedding, graduation, or birthday cards!
