Notecards in a Box

This was one of my recent classes.  It seems that once a year we seem to get around to making a set of notecards and a box to put them in.  They are so much fun to make and they make great presents.  We used the Patterned Occasions Sale-a-Bration set.

There are five images in the stamp set, so we made five cards.

Each one had a matching envelope and a little embellishment on the design.  We used the DSP Paper Pattern Stacks in the In Colours. 

 

 

The box design was based on a cigarette box.  My sister and I nutted out the dimensions.  (Well my sister did most of the nutting out!)

 



See the contrasting panel inside?   And the contents are much healthier than cigarettes!

My six pack a day habit...

Once classes were over I made up the extras that were left and I ended up doing a set using the Print Poetry DSP.  This would have been lovely for class but I would have had to buy sooo many packs of the DSP to make multiple sets of cards.

Thanks for stopping by!

Mojo Monday Sketch 275

I  know it's actually Wednesday but I have entered a challenge over at Mojo Monday.

A new sketch is posted every Monday and the ideas people come up with are amazing.  Here is the sketch.

 

And here is my card:

 

 

 

• I managed five different colours on the same stamp by using my Stamp n Write markers applied directly to the stamp.
• Don't you love how the DSP reflects the pattern of the cupcake base?
• The Polka Dot Embossing Folder echoes the spots on the top of the cupcake.

 

 It's great fun to challenge yourself once in awhile!  Make sure you check out the other entries over at Mojo Monday.
