Monogrammed Christmas Gifts

I love making personalized monogrammed gifts for my friends and family. Here is a sneak peek at some that I made. I kept it simple with the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder and Lovely Letters alphabet for the cards. I used the pattern from this blog post for the card box.

For the notepad cover I used a full sheet of 8-1/2" x 11" and scored at 1/8" from 5-1/2" on each side. I added a strip of Designer Series Paper and slipped a curled up piece into the pen.

Supplies:

Lovely Letters

Wild Wasabi ink

Wild Wasabi and Wild Wasabi Designer Series Paper

Scallop edge punch

Snowflake Card

I love Snowflakes! I remember wishing for snow so that we wouldn't have school and we could go play out in the snow. Now that I live in sunny California I don't see much snow anymore, but snowflakes still hold the magic that I felt during my childhood. To add some bling to my snowflake, I used the two-way glue pen on the ends of the snowflake and then dipped each end in Dazzling Diamonds glitter!

Supplies Used:

Stamp Sets: Four the Holidays

Cardstock: Marina Mist, Whisper White

Dazzling Diamonds glitter

Ink: White Craft ink

Ribbon: Retired Marina Mist Satin

Quilted Top Note

I loved making this card! I love all the seasons, but fall is my favorite. I love the colors, the food, the crisp air and the anticipation of the holidays! The original card was made by Ilina.

The Autumn Spice Specialty DSP is perfect for this Top Note Quilt card. It's textured cardstock that I cut into 3/4" and 1/2" strips and attached to a piece of scrap cardstock. I cut it out with the top note die and then ran it through the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder.

I added the sentiment and punched it out with my favorite punch, the Designer Label Punch and layered it with two designer label punches with their middles cut out and adjusted to look like a layer behind. More fall cards to come!

Embossed Thank You Card

I'm in love with the new Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder. It is so beautiful. I was inspired by this card on SCS. I used the new Marina Mist and layered it with Old Olive and the new In Color, Concord Crush. I used the Perfect Punches Stamp set with the scallop oval punch and layered it on some Concord Crush punched out with the wide oval punch. What is your favorite item from the new catalog?
