Simply Stationery

Soooo, did you guys get some good Papertrey goodies this month? A very useful set was introduced called Simply Stationery along with a new alphabet called Fresh Alphabet. Together you can create endless possibilities for stationery, note cards and personalized gift items. I made some very simple, single layer note cards (4.25" x 5.5"), using Simply Stationery, Fresh Alphabet, Borders and Corners Circles, Faux Ribbon and some October Afternoon patterned paper strips.

I first assembled my monogram using the letter *M* from the Fresh Alphabet set and an emblem design from the Simply Stationery set. You can see on my note cards that I used two different emblems to create my monograms. I then combined the patterned pattern and other stamps to tie the entire design together. The monogrammed circles were adhered with pop dots. I edged all my note cards with Fresh Snow ink(awesome coverage by the way).

Finally, I packaged my note cards in a clear stationery box from Papertrey and tied it up with Ripe Avocado Swiss Dot ribbon. I created an embellished insert, using the same supplies as I did for my note cards. So now when I'm on the run, I can take my stationery box and a pen and write some thank you's, etc while waiting for the girls at practices, doctor appointments, etc.

When you're crafting, be sure to take some time to make something just for YOU. Monogrammed note cards would be perfect......and would make the perfect gifts too!

All supplies except the patterned paper are from Papertrey Ink.
