Baby Shower Card Tutorial

My good friend Amber and I made this card for her cousin's baby shower invitations. Her cousin is a biologist, so we thought the charming little frog peeking out of the pocket on this card was just the right touch. This is a darling card for a baby boy shower, but you could also make the card in pink and green for a cute little baby girl card. This card is also great for a birthday card, a birthday party invitation, or a generic greeting card.
