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.

i am starting a series on this cart and this is just a sneak peek using one of the images.

(i am planning to blog bits and pieces on wednesdays).

Hexagons 

how cute are they, huh?

i cut them at 2 inches, they are adorable.

i used american crafts textured cardstock on these darlings.

they will be on my etsy store plus i will also be adding them to the custom items tab.

(still have to figure out the charities and paypal donation button).

if anyone knows how to and would help me out, i would certainly appreciate it.

thanks for taking a peek!

-pic heavy-

using my cricut expression i made cut the box. it is from tags, bags, boxes and more.

it measures 3" wide and 3-7/8" tall. take note the size i used in my cricut was 5.50".

here you can see it when closed.

i used a few supplies from stash but the papers and alpha stickers are from FINLEY. 

the burlap is from dcwv and cuts fine using my cuttlebug.

i made three note cards that go inside and i embellished them but left some space for a handwritten note or small photo. in addition the back has been covered with the same paper,  if needed, for more pics or message.

i used different patterned papers from FINLEY.

i distressed the edges and inked them with brown ink. i added some stickers also from FINLEY: arrow and date.

the lucky to know you was hand stamped using a red rubber stamp from unity.
