Monogram Cards and More

Hello Blogaritas! 

(For my Spiral Tissue Tutorial click here.)

Up first is gift set using Fancy Alphabet, Heartfelt Greetings, and Delicate Doilies II!

Here are the cards stacked out. I kept this set fairly simple so it will fit nicely in the packaging as well as make it easy to fit inside a standard A2 Envelope.

Two sentiments were used from the Heartfelt Greeting set to give the recipient a variety! The Monogram initial is from Fancy Alphabet which some of my teammates gave you sneaks of yesterday.   The initial was stamped and a 1 inch scallop circle punch was used to pop it in the middle of the beautiful doily from Delicate Doily II which has been embossed with white embossing powder. The white border at the top also comes in the Delicate Doily II set and has been embossed as well. I love how the White pops off the teal card stock. 

Here is a picture of the packaging! A band was created to coordinate the note set. 

Up next is a soft and sweet card displaying Delicate Doilies II, and Heartfelt Greetings! The oval frame is from the wonderful set Paris. 

I started with a cream card base and added a Kraft panel stamping the various doilies in a soft Angel Pink and Sky Blue All that is left is to embellish a bit with a banner, buttons, pearls, paper roses, and a seam binding bow. 

The next card features colors I don't normally gravitate to. From time to time I like to challenge myself to work with colors in my supply stash that often get overlooked. 

I started with a coral card base inspired by the die-cut.  Lemonade yellow craft paint was added to the card base. A piece of white card stock was stamped using images from Delicate Doily II to create my own background paper! 

A length of white crochet trim was added to the top portion of my card front. Next I wrapped a length of seam binding vertically around the right portion of the card front tying off in a fussy seam binding bow adding a button, twine and a sentiment tag (Little Phrases) for an embellishing touch. 

A final embellished touch consisted of a butterfly chipboard that has been painted Lemonade yellow and then sanded finally adding some coarse glitter. 

Here is my final project for today. It uses various colors of pink and kraft which make my heart go pitter patter. 

I started with a lunch bag kraft card base which has had a touch of paint added to it.  Next I took my patterned papers and pieced together to adhere to the card base adding some delicate eyelet trim. A length of hand dyed pink seam binding ribbon was added to left portion of the card tied in a fussy bow. Various Spellbinder die cuts were added to serve as a focal panel displaying Delicate Doilies II and a sentiment greeting from Heartfelt Greetings. The Eiffel Tower (Paris) was stamped in Versafine Vintage Sepia adding tea stain to the edges to complete the look. Final embellishing touches include pearls, paper flowers and a hand made rolled tissue flower. 

Hope you have an inky day!
