Snowflake Notecard Set

My husband and I went to a neighborhood Christmas party tonight and I needed a hostess gift, so I made a set of four note cards using a snowflake (cut at 3.5 inches) from the Winter Woodland Cricut cartridge. I 'sparkled up' the snowflake with a little Martha Stewart tinsel glitter, then added doodling and some ribbon ... quick and easy.

I also stamped and embossed snowflakes on the envelopes (Stampin' Up stamp), and added three more glittered snowflakes (cut at 3.5, 3 and 2.5 inches) to decorate the gift bag. I tied the snowflakes to the gift bag with clear monofilament thread make them look as if they're floating or maybe falling.

Note Card Set - Storybook

I needed a quick birthday gift, so I made this set of note cards. The cards are A2 size. I used the Storybook cartridge for the monograms ... cut them at 4". The black card stock and the "Just Because" stamp are from Papertrey Ink. The green card stock is from Bazzill, and the patterned paper is from a Designer Digitals set called Simple Classics No 2.

I added a few flat-backed pearls and a little gingham ribbon ...

Then, to complete the set, I recycled an acrylic box to use as a holder for the note cards. I embellished it with a strip of patterned paper, edged with a Martha Stewart punch. Added more ribbon and a flower made with die-cuts from my stash. Topped it off with a card stamped with a Penny Black stamp, clipped to the top of the box. Just a quick and simple set!!
