Note Cards Gift Set

It's my mum-in-law's b'day later this week, so I decided to make her some cute little note cards.  So without further ado, here they are!

Here's the green one.  I stamped on a design, layered some papers and inked all the edges and glued on some blings:

 

Here's the blue one. I stamped on a lfower, inked the edges and glued on some bling.  I also glued on a ribbon, punched out some flowers, inked their edges and glued blings on them too:

 

And these next 2 are my favourites of the 4! Here's the pink one.  I stamped on a flower, added a pearl & inked the edges.  Then I cut out another square, coloured it in by smudging it with pink pencil shavings, inked the edges & glued on a little ribbon and some more pearls:

 

And the purple one! I stamped on some pretty swirly images and inked the edges of the card.  I also coloured in the back most card by smudging it with purple pencil shavings.  Then I cute out a smaller piece of card stock, also smudged it, inked the edges, added a ribbon and a button:

 

And then on the insides I stamped a little too to match the outside stamp. When I didn't have a small stamp to use on the inside, I just inked a party of the stamped used on the outside and stamped that on:

Then I decided to make a cute packaging for it too!  I designed myself a little box template and made this:

 

 

After cutting out the template on white card stock, I glued it onto pretty patterned paper, folded it and glued it down with some craft glue.  Then I wrapped some irridescent string around it a few times and tied a knot, over which I glued 2 transparent glass leaves and a purple rose.  Oh, and some more bling at the bottom.


I'm so happy with how this turned out! :D


If you'd like my template for this little box, email me and I'll figure out a way to get it on the PC and off to you, hehe!  This box is suitable for cards the size of about 2.9 X 4 inches.
