This is for Beate's newest
Weekend Sketch Challenge. It was to make a file folder card. Believe it or not, I have never made one of these before! I have the Coluzzle File Folder template, but have only ever used it for a file folder scrapbook I made a while ago. It worked perfectly for this challenge. I decided to make a baby announcement since I'll be needed one of those VERY soon! :) I thought the Wild About You stamp set went well with this patterned paper from the DCWV Nana's KIDS Stack. I punched the elephant out with a Jumbo circle punch and attached just the top of it with dimensionals to the inside card so that the elephant would show on the outside and sit in the curve of the file folder.
It also holds the inside card nicely in place until it's pulled out. The inside card is where all the "stats" will go along with a little picture of our newest addition. I'm very excited to see what

Charmaine, this is sooo cute! I LOVE that overhanging elephant!
That is adorable. WOW... the recipients of this will be thrilled!
Hey...this is just stinking cute! It's absolutely adorable!! I love Wild About You!
Too funny, Charmaine -- we both used elephants for baby cards! Love your idea to use the Coluzzle File Folder template -- I have that but it didn't occur to me (slapping head)! Love the elephant circle tab hanging over -- what a great announcement this will make!
Charmaine, this is adorable!! I love how the elephant stays on the outside even when the insert in in the File Folder part! So clever! How exciting for you and your family to be meeting your little one so soon!! Yay!!! Congratulations!
This is great, LOL, I have the file folder template and that is exactly what I thought to use.
Hi Charmaine,
As always, one of my most favorite stampers. I am totally in love with this card and would love to have a tutorial on it (your's specifically)
I have a 19 yr old daughter (my baby) and she is 9 weeks pregnant (with her 1st baby) YEAH....
I would love to use your design for her shower if you would not mind and everyone will know where it came from :))
Warmly,
Debi
Love the way you "softened" the hard-edged look of a file card to make it fit a baby... with all the "office" stuff around, yours is thinking outside the box. Likin' that!
what a super cute card ,Dawnx
I've been searching for a cute birth announcement to make for my sister to send out for my new little niece. She was determined to send a picture with it...I love this layout and I think I am going to have to steal it! :)
Absolutely adorable!! Great job!! and congrats on your future addition!
How adorable is this!!! That stamp goes perfectly with that paper and I have a ton of it!!! Awesome idea for announcement. I should probably get going on those myself. I have cute little animal stamps coming in the mail soon.
I love it!
Charmaine, this is soooo cute! I will have to try one of these, thanks for the inspiration!
