{SQUARED SENTIMENT SET}

The Squares Plus stamp set offers so many options for background stamping. We decided to play with the small open squares and add a bit of Copic Coloring.

We masked off the sides of the panel and stamped the background bar fives times in a row to create our main grid. We then selected a range of markers in the same color family to create a tonal rainbow.

A sentiment was stamped, and popped up with a dimensional. And the entire panel was adhered to the card base.

We switched up the colors and sentiments to make a fun, colorful, set of notecards.

{NOTECARD GIFT SET}

Can you tell we LOVE notecards! This set of cards comes complete with matching envies – even better, right!

For this series we used the new Background Basics 2 set, Word Windows die cuts, and Tags 2. We created a simple card design that would showcase each of the (6) background bars. A Word Window was die cut, stamped with a sentiment, and popped up on the card base.

We wanted matching envelopes so we replicated the design onto labels and adhered them to the front side of a glassine envie.

Each card in the set has a coordinating envelope, to complete the set.

And here you have a another set of notecards packaged and ready to go…
