Do you ever want to give a gift of cards but are afraid to take the time and effort? I love to give hand-made items as gifts. The cards for this gift set are pretty simple but when you add in the great Card Organizer box, you have a wonderful gift set.
Using 4 sentiments and one image, all from DRS Designs, I made this gift set. The card organizer is made from 2 sheets of 8 1/2 x 11" So Saffron Cardstock. The top detail is made with 2 strips of 12 x 12 Core'dinations cardstock. Using the new Impressabilities - Pebbles, I embossed the detail and then sanded to reveal the core of the cardstock. I stamped the image, Bloomin' Huge Flower (M1023) with Rich Cocoa Memento ink and colored it in with Copic Markers. I carefully cut them out and used the Scalloped Paisley Nestabilities for my leaves. Here is a close-up of my Card Organizer Box.
Each of the cards uses a different sentiment. All of these small sentiments fit perfectly into the Double Ended Tag die template from Spellbinders. I used Just A Note (B244), Happy Birthday (B250), Get Well Soon (B254) and Thank You! . Each card has a white cardstock panel that was dry embossed using the Pebbles Impressabilities. I also used the Labels 4 under my tags for a special touch.
I think these DRS Designs images make a quick and simple card look very elegant. I will have a tutorial on how to make the Card Organizer on my blog in a few weeks! Hope you are having a great week!
This is a wonderful set! How thoughtful. I love the HUGE flower!
