Here's a baby shower invite I created.
What you need:
Baby Diaper template (this link takes you to the website where I got the template, below is a direct link to the PDF)
Pencil
Printer with paper/computer to print template
Ribbon (2 colors of your choice)
Ink colors of your choice
Card stock with design
Blank colored card stock
White card stock
Adhesive
Scissors
Scoring tool
Ruler
Cutter
Glue Dots
Invitation stamp (or you can print something on the card stock)
Thank you stamp
How to:
Since I created a gender neutral card, I went with green and yellow for the theme.
1. Download the baby diaper template (PDF) here and print out one. Cut it out and trace onto white card stock. Use the scoring tool to score card stock where you should fold (dotted lines on template). To do this I kept my printed sheet over top and lined my ruler up with the templates score marks. You can also find where the "corners" are and score a straight line down and across.
2. Once you're done scoring, cut out the diaper. Fold on score lines and adhere so that the flaps stay down. Only adhere flaps (3 pieces). DO NOT adhere to base
3. Cut down various card stock for main invitation. I cut my yellow waffle paper to 4" square, the green polka dot paper to 3.5" square and the main invitation paper to 3" square. Round corners on the base paper (largest card stock).
4. Stamp your invitation information if you didn't print it on the card stock. Adhere all three of the papers to create a layered effect.
5. Tie your two ribbon colors into a bow and attach to front of diaper using a Glue Dot.
6. Insert invitation and voila! You're done.
Optional Thank You for the mom-to-be. Since I had some leftover scraps and ribbon, I created this Thank You for the mom-to-be to send to those who come and bring a gift.
