BEST MOM NOTE CARD SET

Hello all!

Today I am sharing a note card set made using an A7 "Brown Bag" envelope.

It has 3 matching notecards.


A brown bag envelope, a sheet of kraft cardstock, glue, and some embellishments are all you need to make ths set. Picture #2 shows the envelope flap. You need to glue the flap as if you were sealing an envelope.
After the envelope is sealed off, cut 1-3/4" off the top or bottom making sure your width is 5-1/4".   TIP: After you cut the top, snip 1/8" off the bottom part. This will ensure your base fits the top, if not, it will be a very tight fit. Remember to glue that side close. It should now be a 5-1/8" instead 5-1/4".
You will also need to cut the notecards and some strips of cardstock for the top. I cut the note cards at 4" x 4-1/2" and the two strips at 5-1/2 x 1-1/2" and 4 x 1-3/8".
The last pic shows some embellishments and the embossing plate I used for the embossing. This pic also shows the thin 1/8" brown strips I used for framing.

The embossed background looks grayish but actually is a baby blue ink color. The brown bag envelope embossed very nice. I love the geese too, they are die cuts I pieced together.

These are the note cards. The sentiment on the side is from Oprah Winfrey and it reads: "Biology is the least of what makes a mother". Fabulous. I bet many of us can truly relate to this saying.

YOU EQUAL AWESOME...made with a brown paper bag

happy fall to you all

the weather in my area has been beautiful, cool and crispy. i hope you are enjoying it too.

today's post for artful delight was inspired by a pin from pinterest. i will show it at the end of the post.

You = Awesome

Me = Grateful

using a small brown paper bag 

(all supplies minus the paper bag are founded in the artful delight september card kit)

 

folding the bag in certain way to have a pocket where you can insert a note, money, tickets or whatever you would like. i stitched the two patterned papers with my sewing machine onto the bag, hard to see because of the edges being distressed.

i cut strips of the brown panel paper into strips to add some of the sentiments from the paper smooches stamp set called many thanks ALSO included in the september card kit, and tuck them inside the pouch. i made the semi circle on the patterned paper with a circle punch to match the one already in the paper bag. i added it the rounded fleur d lis paper clip just because to me it was the perfect spot :D.

i wrapped it all in jute and also added one of the small arrow chipboard on the center of the bow.

more arrow chipboards where added pointing to the chipboard cloud where i stamped another sentiment from the paper smooches stamp set.

this project has many uses....just use your imagination, :D
