Chances are, you’ve seen my Baby Shower Folder (a.k.a. The Best Baby Shower Gift Ever)…it may even be what made you stumble onto this little site in the first place! It is by far-and-away the most popular post on unOriginal Mom. If you haven’t seen them, hop over for a quick browse…otherwise this post may not make much sense :-)
I really do make one of these folders for every baby shower that I attend – in fact, people have come to expect it! But for the past couple, I’ve added a little touch using my Silhouette that I wanted to highlight for you here!
The past couple of folders that I’ve made, I bought file folders that didn’t come with their own labels…what to do? Why, make my own of course! I used the Silhouette Printable Clear Sticker Paper to easily print and cut my own file folder labels.
You just load the sticker paper into your printer (make sure you’ve selected to print your design with registration marks), and print…then stick it on your mat, load it in your Silhouette, and cut!
Then, stick!
They give the folders such a finished, professional look, don’t they?
I’ve also been known to personalize the front of the folder with vinyl, and add a few personalized onesies to go along with it. Gosh, baby shower gifts are just too much fun!
Are you intrigued by the versatility and possibilities of that printable sticker paper? You’re in luck – just until Saturday (May 31), you can get 25% off specialty media from Silhouette when you use the code UNORIGINAL. (Not sure what “specialty media” includes, or what you can do with it? Here are 15 Specialty Media Projects to get your creative juices flowing!)
Don’t have a Silhouette? Now is the perfect time to buy one – there are two really great bundles at a terrific price right now!
(Psst – I’m giving away a Silhouette Portrait and entries close TOMORROW! So hurry over for your chance to win one!)

And I’ve been LOOKING for a good project for those clear sticker labels. Such a brilliant idea! And yes, this was one of the first tutorials of yours I ever happed upon and boy am I glad I did. It was the start of a beautiful friendship (pardon me while I take the train to Sappy Town over here, lol). Pinning!
I know, I was stuck for a long time on the clear sticker paper…and this is so simple, but it works so well! And I am so glad you stumbled onto my little site, too! And your baby shower round-up is still my highest traffic referral source after Pinterest/Google/FB. So thanks for that!! But more importantly than blog traffic, thanks for your friendship :-)
What a great baby shower gift! I love things that are practical, easy to make, and a bit different. You knocked this one out of the park!
I just made one of these folders for my husbands cousin ….included in the gift were your 5 checkoff sheets (In the Misc. folder) and a pink wicker laundry basket (its a girl!)full of assorted items from each list inside. I checked off each Item that I bought. I may have went a little overboard but I can’t wait to give it to her!!!!
Hi! I’m totally making this for a friend and was wondering if you have the cut and print file for the labels that you would be willing to share? Anything to save time would be great.
Thanks!
Would you be able to share your cut and print file for these labels? Or a few more details in the instructions? This is such a cute idea and I seem to have a love / hate relationship with my Silhouette skills.
thanks!
Which font did yo use please?
