here is one of the set of 12 notecards I made for the bride-to-be. Her wedding invitations, made to be absolutely gorgeous by her mother, were in these same colors - which I also understand to be her wedding colors. Again, a very simple card. I cut a strip of red paper and used a Martha Stewart edge punch to give it a little something extra. Then I cut a strip of patterned paper and a strip of cream paper. I adhered these to the card in the same order as I cut them. I used my Nestabilities to make the red circle. I stamped the monogram and its border on cream cardstock using my Just Rite stamps and then punched it out with an old circle punch I have had for years. I placed the cards in a clear plastic box I had purchased just for this type of gift. Since the edges of the box folded in, I punched two circles of the patterned paper, put adhesive on them, and adhered them to the edges of both closures to ensure the box would stay secure. I purchased coordinating black envelopes for the cards, but did not do any thing extra to them. This is really only the second time I have played with my Just Rite stamps, but I LOVE them. I now have a million ideas running around in my head!!

These are even more gorgeous in person. Bethany had them out looking at them again last night. She kept oohing and aahing!!! I think, after these and the cards people made, she has a new appreciation for scrapbooking. Who knows, I may convert her yet.
