This month’s Stamping Sunday Blog Hop is all about Sale-a-bration; that wonderful time (Jan-Feb 2022) when you can get FREE product! I’m sharing a note card gift set that combines two FREE products: Island Vibes Stamp Set and Simply Marbleous Designer Paper. You can see details of these items by clicking on their pictures in my Product List below.
The Island Vibes, tropical plant, fits perfectly in the corner of a Note Card, so I decided to stamp it in four colors of ink (Granny Apple Green, Flirty Flamingo, Shaded Spruce, and Bermuda Bay) on four colors of Simple Marbleous Designer Paper (So Saffron, Flirty Flamingo, Balmy Blue, and Coastal Cabana).
Island Vibes Note Cards
To add a decorative border, I used an Ornate Layers Die.
The sentiments are from the Biggest Wish Stamp Set, stamped in Stazon Black Ink. I used the Stamparatus, so I could stamp a couple times, making sure the words were nice and dark.
After completing the four note cards, I decorated the envelope flaps with matching, Simply Marbleous Designer Paper. How? I glued the designer paper, 5 1/4″ X 2 1/4″ to the flap, and trimmed the excess, using the flap as a template.
The box to hold the Note Cards & Envelopes is a Mini Paper Pumpkin Box, which is sturdy, and folds together easily. It was fun to decorate with the Simply Marbleous Designer Paper. The top piece is 5 1/2″ X 3 3/4″, the long sides are 5 1/2″ X 1″, and the short sides are 3 3/4″ X1″.
I used the same, Ornate Layers Die to cut a piece for the top, and attached it with Dimensionals.
The Island Vibes plant was stamped in Shaded Spruce Ink on Basic White Cardstock, fussy cut, and placed on Dimensionals.
For the word “NOTES,” I used Playful Alphabet Dies, Foam Adhesive Sheets, and the four colors of Simply Marbleous Designer Paper to match the note cards.
