MONOGRAMMED GIFT SET

We are having friends for supper tomorrow night, so I made up a quick set of Monogrammed Cards to give as a little gift.

I used Soft Suede as my monochromatic color scheme along with Very Vanilla. I also used the Flourish from the Friends 24-7 Stamp set. I hope she likes them.

Card Supplies:

Stamps: Broadsheet Alphabet, Friends 24-7

Paper: Very Vanilla, Thoroughly Modern DSP, Textured Soft Suede

Ink: Soft Suede

Accessories: Soft Suede Ribbon, SU Circle & Scalloped Circle Punches.

Thanks for looking!

FRIENDS 24-7

I recently bought the Starter Kit from Stampin Up during their half price promotion. We were challenged to make a card using ONLY products from the Starter Kit. This is the card I entered into the contest.

The bird was stamped twice and popped up on dimensionals. The Early Expresso Satin ribbon was frayed then a fiber pulled to create the ruffle. I also used the Stampin Around Wheel for the musical notes across the bottom. I was very pleased with how my card turned out.

Card Supplies:

Stamps: SU Friends 24-7, Musical Notes Wheel

Paper: Whisper White, Early Expresso, Neutrals DSP Paper Pack

Ink: Early Expresso, Blushing Bride

Accessories: Early Expresso Satin Ribbon, Blender Pen, Stampin Sponges, Dimensionals

Thanks for looking today!
