Bible Verse cards for my Bible study

Saturday, January 24th, 2009

I made 16 of these cards for the gals in my Bible study.  They all had a different verse, flower color or ribbon color.  I also had these at my LNO class this week.  The cards are simple, yet elegant.   I always stamp the envelope to match the card.  At my classes, the gals always go home with matching envelopes too.

Birthday card case

Saturday, January 24th, 2009

This is a total case of Nancy Riley’s card at istamp.com. I love the colors and everything about it, so I didn’t change a thing.  To get the purple rim circle, punch the smaller circle first and then punch the larger circle around the hole left from the smaller one.  This card was also one of the cards we made at my LNO class this week.

Ink-Pacific Point

Paper-Pacific Point, Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, Elegant Eggplant

Monogram folder gift set

This folder is made with an 8 1/2 X 11  Regal Rose card stock.  I scored the paper at 5 1/2 to fold the paper in half and then scored at 2 inches from the bottom to hold the cards and envelopes inside.  The scoring it done easily with my Scor-Pal.  This folder holds three cards and three envelopes.

Stamps- Retired Alphabet set and Wow Flowers for the envelope

Ink- Regal Rose

Paper- Regal Rose, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White and SU Designer Series Paper Sweet Always

Accessories- 1 inch Double-Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon- I love this ribbon!
