I would be very grateful for any ideas for designs for birth announcement card. The two links show work I have done I the past and the second link is the card I did for the now older brother. Apologies for asking but I have a very heavy cold and the brain is not up to much but with some help from Cuties I will be able to show my friend ideas, which I will then sew for her. Thanks and flowers to all

This is definitely not my field but I have looked at several sites which specialise in this merchandise (there are hundreds). Of course, the wording required by your friend will be important and may dictate the overall size of the card. A lot of the card designs nowadays appear to rely on a photograph of baby but this may be a step too far. Another visual idea might be to incorporate the silhouette of baby's hand or foot if this information is available to you.
I do hope that you recover from your cold very soon.

I love the simplicity of the two you did in the past. Do you want something different now?

I like what you have done in the past, since they are in the same family I would stick with what I was doing, but I am too matchy matchy. If I wanted something new, I might put a frame or an accent piece (butterfly) on it somewhere,.

I like the projects you already made. So I would say go on the same way. But if you want something totally different, I like the example of 10tje's site I add the link and the project

I really like what you've done before, so I'd stick with what worked! If you'd rather do something different, the Mad Woman of Locke Street site has some nice samplers.

Thanks for the reply. I am laughing at your comment of try the Mad Woman of Locke St as the first grandchild had a design from there ad they thought it a bit twee. I had the designs and was playing about with it and sewed it out as a present. Since then I have been asked to do one for each of the friends grandchildren.
