Homemade Baby Shower Card

On Sunday we went to a baby shower for my good friend and I whipped up this card for her. I'm not a fan of store-bought greeting cards - especially when they cost up to five dollars! - but I still needed a way to identify myself as the gift giver. The best part? It cost me nothing.


The polka dot paper is actually cardboard cut from some toy packaging. It's easy to work with cardboard if you peel off the backing and corrugations. The brown paws are cut from the cardboard backing I peeled off.

Is it the most sophisticated thing I've ever made? No. Will I put it on my website? Probably not. But it's cute, it was free and it gets the job done.
