Papertrey Ink Blog Hop – *…yellow…*
Posted by Michelle on May 25th, 2009 . Filed under: Uncategorized .
This month’s Papertrey Ink Blog Hop had a theme of summer – specifically using yellow as it is the warm weather summer color. I’ve never been a huge fan of Lemon Tart, but I’m starting to warm up to it – get it? warm up *giggles*
I made simple 5.5×4.25 notecards (the kind that don’t open) that one would use for a quick thank-you note. I used the Bitty Baby Blessings paper pack that I don’t seem to turn to very often and I think it’s because of the name – I forget that there are papers in here that can be used for things other than baby cards.
I only have two big alphabet stamp sets – a Martha Stewart Christmas one, and this one that I think is Marcella K from Target that I bought when I first got into cardmaking (so long ago – 5 months LOL).
I used Papertrey’s Everyday Blessings set to stamp the envelopes and a little tag on the front of the packaging.
I packaged the set of 8 notecards and 8 envelopes in a Clearly Creative Card Box from Papertrey, tied it up with some Lemon Tart Saddle Stitch ribbon and I was done.
I hope my mother-in-law likes it…and I hope you do too.
Thanks for stopping by; don’t be a stranger!
