Knowing that I would be in Japan when our niece would give birth to a new son and not having enough time to create a suitable card, I opted for a cheat. I saw a really cute 3D baby card at Daiso and snapped it up for a $1.75 bargain price. Upon opening the the packaging, I realized that it was not a baby card but a decorated envelope...huh? Still determined to use this really sweet Daiso product, I decided to double stick tape it to the front of a printed card made from a folded double sided card stock. I chose a baby print card stock (plaid outside) that has a light design of clouds inside over which I can write a message. To make the card even more special, I decided to leave the top of the envelope (card front) unattached so that money or a check gift can be concealed. Daiso also sells colored envelopes that fit this slimline mini card. They do have small red rectangles on the front which is probably for postage. I used washi tape to conceal the rectangles but because my tape didn't conceal it with one layer, I doubled up. I am very pleased with this quickie baby card because it looks good and worked well in a pinch. Go check out your nearest Daiso store to see what goodies you can find to make your life delightful!
