One of my very favorite projects is to make up card sets. And I love giving them to my hostesses. Here is a set I made for my June Hostesses.
This folder is SO simple and easy to make - just one piece of 8 1/2" x 11" card stock!!
Above is the inside with the cards. I used the new Blooming with Kindness stamp set, stamped the flower on Whisper White with three different colors: Pool Party. So Saffron and Calypso Coral. I used coordinating card stock and stamped the flower in White Craft Ink and then heat set it for a background. I cut out the flower with the Labels Framelits - also cut out a "frame" in the Silver Glimmer Paper. I added a Whisper White Taffeta ribbon under the flower and tied a bow below the flower. I didn't put a sentiment on the cards, thinking the hostesses could use them for any occasions: Birthday, Wedding, Anniversary, Sympathy!
Here are the individual cards
Here they are all together
To make the folder, you use a piece of 8 1/2" x 11" card stock - I used Calypso Coral.
Line up the 11" side on your Simply Scoring Tool and score at 5 1/4" and 5 3/4". Turn the card stock and line up the 8 1/2" side and score at 2". Fold all score lines and then cut out the 2" center piece
Add sticky tape to the 2" pieces on both sides and fold up. Add some designer paper to the fronts of the 2" pieces. Poke holes in the inside and outside pieces and run a piece of ribbon through.
Add design paper to the front over the ribbon. Add your cards and envelopes and you have a great gift!!
