It's time for Papertrey's blog hop again. This month is all about spring (or the anticipation of spring!). We are challenged to create a spring-themed project.
When I think of spring, I think of flowers. So I pulled out my Garden Variety and Year of Flowers sets and my picket fence die to create a set of cards. Here they are...

| I ran the fence through my woodgrain impression plate to give it some texture |
And here they are together...
I have been obssessed with the envelope punch lately. And I came across a tutorial here on how to use it to make a card box. I used that to package my card set like this...
Since the envelope punch board is out, I also tried making smaller sized envelopes which make cute little note holders. I first die cut my note cards using Lil Inkers' Stitched Rectangle die and stamped them with the little flowers from Tag Its #3.
Then I created about 20 little envelopes using some double sided patterned papers from my stash. Such spring-y colours!
The 2.5 x 3.5 note card fits perfectly inside the tiny envelopes.
I used a medium glassine bag to package them up, ready for gift giving. I used Tag Sale #5 and various blooms and leaves from Rosie Posie, Beautiful Blooms, Embroidered Blooms, Turning a New Leaf and Sending You.
Here they are together...
Irma, beautiful gift card set using these older sets. I forget about these beautiful images when so much new stuff is released. I also just love your little note cards for spring using Tag-Its! And those tiny envelopes are just too cute! You have been a busy stamper!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful set Irma. The envelopes are so cute!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas, they are definitely spring!
ReplyDeleteOoh, what a delicious set! You have been very busy!
ReplyDeleteGreat card set. The flowers look great with the fence. Cute envelopes.
ReplyDeleteLove your ideas.
ReplyDeleteIrma--so much gorgeousness on your post. Love those flower cards. Am pinning that one because I never know what to do with that stamp set. Love the picket fence die behind. And, I am drooling over your little note cards. I want to drop everything and make my own set right now. I love your idea, and what a fabulous way to make a teeny tiny dent in my patterned paper stash. These would make terrific little love notes I could hide in my daughters' backpacks.
ReplyDeleteWow, Irma, this is impressive work. These are so nice.
ReplyDeleteIrma what gorgeous card sets! Wow you were busy!
ReplyDeleteHey, Irma. Great minds think alike! I can tell you that I was very influenced by the revival of the envelope punch board thread on the forum this week. Love your card set - you really rocked all those delicious details!

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog, Irma. I saw your seed packet cards in the gallery and fell in love with them. Now I get to see all the other glorious things you have made.
ReplyDeleteWow, you really went all-out for the hop! Love it! I'm obsessed with the envelope punch board too and just recently learned how to make a card box. How wonderful for card sets! Thanks for sharing all your pretty creations here : )
ReplyDeleteLOVE your seed packet cards! I really wish I had those stamps and dies... Your sets are all so cute, and I am very impressed with the envelopes you've made! My, what a lot of love went into all these projects!

ReplyDeleteIrma, how very clever using the picket fence behind your beautiful floral seed packets. Love your packaging as well. Duh, I just looked at the envelope punch yesterday but didn't buy one. Now I wish I had. Great notes cards in such pretty little envelopes.
ReplyDeleteOh, my word, Irma, you have provided us with weeks' worth of inspiration here!! I'm so impressed and thank you for sharing! Those little envies are wow! I have that envelope punch board and have not used it, so thank you for the link!!! Also, embossing the fence with the woodgrain EF was genius!! Hugs, Darnell
