Project 365/Day 13 - Monogram Notecards

Since creating my digital Mod Monograms 1 set, I wanted to make a project for myself...some personal notecards. From the moment I bought DCWV’s the Natural Stack, I have fell in love with the papers and have used them on several card creations. I chose two of the foil papers in this 8" x 8" stack paired with brown and beige solid cardstock from the Paper Co. to created elegant hybrid notecards. I created 4 matching ones and one alternate version. I colored the initial C in brown to coordinate with my notecard paper stock and left the monogram frame in black.

I matted it in brown and raised up the layer using U-cut-it double sided foam from Glue Arts.

You can purchase this digi frame set on mygrafico.com...

So if you are at a creative road block, make something for yourself today. I did and am so glad to be at the receiving end of one of my creative projects.

Day 8- Handmade Monogrammed Note Cards

This holiday gift idea was one featured in my "12 Tips" article in the Dec. issue of Scrap & Stamps Arts magazine. All you need is some patterned paper, a cool alphabet stamp set or letter stickers, other favorite stamps, a circle punch sized to show the full letter, some ribbon, ink and cardstock. A complete list of supplies used can be found in the article. So if you need a quick gift idea for Christmas, a birthday, a hostess gift or to just tell someone thanks, just make up a set of 4-5 monogrammed note cards with matching envelopes, drop in a gift bag or tie them with a bow and you are sure to have a well-loved, practical gift. An alternate idea is to give a gift set of all-occasion cards.
