who designs the birth card themselves?

For the oldest, we made concert tickets with a real tear-off strip and put earplugs in the envelope. For the second, we made a Lego-style ticket saying a new building project was ready, with a Lego brick on each ticket. For the little one on the way, I want to design a single cover myself. I have lots of old singles here that I don't use. I'll put those in with a homemade sticker over them. Do you have any fun or original designs?

    Hi there,

    I don’t think we’re going to make our own card! But what a super cute and original idea! I think my husband will love the last one especially! He’s crazy about music and is a jukebox and vinyl collector! I have quite a collection at home, but they’re too expensive to put a sticker on them hi hi....

    Love, Lynn

    Hi Belskat,
    That's super original!! I'd love to see a photo of it!

    I made the cards completely myself afterwards, despite the enormous effort!!
    : Beige (the card itself) with all sorts of different specialty paper in Bordeaux or Brown as the border. (so they all have different textures)
    Square with 4 sections:
    -an echo photo - Her hands - Her feet
    -and in the last section her weight and size.
    And a transparent ribbon through the card and a name tag, tied at the top.
    Inside, a poem on the left that I wrote myself and a photo of our triplets on the right..
    But do take a photo when it's fully finished.

    I actually run an online shop for birth announcements (Lilalabeltje), but I still let someone else handle our own! I know my own style too well and am too much of a perfectionist. Luckily, I have plenty of lovely colleagues, so our choice was made quickly :-)
