Black and White Monogram

I don't have any time to stamp today. Believe or not, I still have to finish up some Valentine's!! Since Ryan was sick last week and missed his class party, I decided I could finish them this weekend....well, the weekend got away from me (not to mention the new High Hopes stamps came in) so I didn't get them done!!

So here is a set of cards I made for my friend. She's the one who bought this monogrammed set for her friend along with another set I haven't posted yet.

I used SU Basic Black CS as the card base. The white panel is SU Whisper White that I embossed with SU Baroque Motifs stamp set, then run through the Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots embossing folder. I punched the bottom with the Fiscars Threading Water border punch.

For the monogram, I used SU Lovely Letters also embossed in black. I cut it out with a SU Circle punch (sorry, I can't remember which size it was) and matted it with Basic Black cut and embossed with a small Scalloped Circle die. I attached it with Dimensionals.

The ribbon is from the dollar section at Michaels. I got a few rolls a while ago and I am now down to about 12" :-( I soooo need to find another ribbon like this...it is just so elegant.

I also stamped the "p" on the envelope as well.

To hold a set of 10 cards, I created another box using this tutorial...

I ran out of black CS....seriously...I used scraps for the "p" mat!! So, I made the box pink since I love the black and pink combo.

Here is another picture of the box opened...

I made this box a little larger (because I actually made it for a different set but the lid didn't fit...my measurements were off) and that set had ribbons and knots so I needed the box larger to hold everything. So, you can see, there is plenty of room in this box. I made 10 cards with matching envelopes, but I probably could have added another 5 cards! For just 10 cards and envelopes with this design, you can use the "Large" box measurements on my tutorial linked above.

Anyway, Thank you so much for all of you comments regarding my blog candy. I have a HUGE smile on my face...you guys have made my day! :-) Don't forget, you have until Sunday night to enter.

I just got the new Whiff of Joy Spring Kit in the mail today and OMG....they are sooo adorable! I was able to mount them on ez-mount foam and stamp them once so I could see what they look like. But it will have to wait until later before I can make something with them. However, Ansley (my 6 year old daughter) is currently sitting at my stamping desk making something.

Anyway, Thanks for stopping by!

Hi. I agree with you, Whiff of Joy stamps are too good. But recently I came across Acorn Sales (http://www.acornsales.com) while searching for some creative rubber stamps and embossers. The quality of stamps is amazing and the prices are quite affordable. I am surely going to order many more stamps from Acorn sales, to enrich my collection. I would definitely recommend their products to you.
