Note Card Holder using the Edgelit Dies and Simply Scored

It's the time of year for weddings and wedding showers.  When I give the happy couple their gift, I like to include a personalized gift as well.  One of my more favorite gifts to include is a set of monogrammed note cards for the bride to be to use maybe to write thank you notes for all of those lovely gifts that they receive to mark the happy occasion.  With the release of our new edgelit dies, I have been able to now create a fabulous box for the notecards to go in that makes it even more elegant.

Stamps:  Elements of Style
Ink:  So Saffron, Real Red
Cardstock:  Soft Suede, So Saffron, Naturals White
Accessories:  So Saffron Ribbon, Baker's Twine, Small and Large Tag Punches, Jewel Accents, Edgelit Die, Simply Scored, Bigshot

If you would like to know how to make this card holder, i share a video of it on this past blog post:

When it comes to making the note cards you can use whatever patterns you would like.  Here are pictures of a stack of notecards that I have made for myself.  Nine note cards fit comfortably within this note card holder.

Wedding Shower Card

I have a wedding shower to go to this afternoon, and I though I would share the cute little card I made to go with the couple's gift.  The couple is so adorable together that they deserved me pulling every tool I had on this one.  I chose to go with the classic girly pink color and used the shimmer spritz to dress up the background layer.  A few punches, dies, ribbon, embossing folders and embossing powers later... voila!

Wedding Shower Card

A Gift for a Gift

Tis the season for bridal and baby showers.  Oh how I remember those days, and all of those thank you notes to write afterwards.  As the season for gift buying gears up, I thought I would share a secret that I have to help out the happy future couple or mother to be.  Whenever I buy a wedding or baby gift for some one, I also include a gift of thank you cards and envelopes packaged with my gift.  I usually place them in a cello bag and tie them off with a bow.  The recipient isalways tickled to see them in the gift; sometimes even more excited about the cards than the gift, go figure.  The pictures below are of part of the set of wedding thank yous that I am working on.  I usually put 10 cards in each gift.

To add one extra touch, I run the flap only of the envelope through the big shot. 

Paper:  Whisper White
Stamps: Afterthoughts, Bliss
Ink:  Basic Black
Accessories:  Big Shot, Tulip Frames Embossing Folder, Texture Plate, Envelopes
