This month's Papertrey Ink Blog Hop had a theme of summer - specifically using yellow as it is the warm weather summer color. I've never been a huge fan of Lemon Tart, but I'm starting to warm up to it - get it? warm up *giggles*I decided to make a little notecard set for my mother-in-law's birthday next month - a summertime birthday seemed a good occasion to use the yellow, no?
I made simple 5.5x4.25 notecards (the kind that don't open) that one would use for a quick thank-you note. I used the Bitty Baby Blessings paper pack that I don't seem to turn to very often and I think it's because of the name - I forget that there are papers in here that can be used for things other than baby cards.
I only have two big alphabet stamp sets - a Martha Stewart Christmas one, and this one that I think is Marcella K from Target that I bought when I first got into cardmaking (so long ago - 5 months LOL).
I used Papertrey's Everyday Blessings set to stamp the envelopes and a little tag on the front of the packaging.
I packaged the set of 8 notecards and 8 envelopes in a Clearly Creative Card Box from Papertrey, tied it up with some Lemon Tart Saddle Stitch ribbon and I was done.
I hope my mother-in-law likes it...and I hope you do too.
Thanks for stopping by; don't be a stranger!
