I'm a bit behind on sharing my projects from the last couple of months. This card set was the Hostess Gifts for my customers in May. I am so loving using the new designer series papers and stamp sets. So many new and wonderful products from Stampin' Up in the new 2012-2013 Catalog. If you don't have your catalog yet, and you are local, just give me a call and when I'm in town, I'll be happy to bring one by. If you need a catalog shipped to you, I just ask that you pay the shipping - the catalog is FREE. So many wonderful products an ideas!
Isn't this dsp just delicious? I LOVE it and love using it. This is called Comfort Cafe. I made up three cards and dressed up our Clear Stamp Cases for a perfect holder for the cards.
And here are the cards my hostesses found inside
For this gift set I used
Stamp Sets: Layered Labels (WM 127070, CM 127072, page 103), Papaya Collage (WM 126610, CM 126612, page 75)
Card StocK: Summer Starfruit, Midnight Muse, Daffodil Delight, Comfort Cafe Designer Series Paper (126898, page 163)
Clear-Mount Stamp Cases (119105 page 7)
I wanted to give you the measurements for decorating the Clear-Mount Cases, and since I had give away all my ones above, I made up another set for my workshop hostess this past month. So here's a little tutorial on making up the cases!
Use one Clear-Mount Stamp Case (sold in sets of 4 for $5.95 - Item # 119105, page 7)
Cut your Designer Series Paper 10 1/2" x 7". Slip this into the outside plastic pocket of your clear-mount stamp case. I stamped the "For You" from Layered Labels in Midnight Muse and adhered it to the front and then slipped this into the case.
This is the inside
Cut two pieces of Midnight Muse (or card stock of your choice) 5 1/2" x 2 1/2". Score with the Simply Scored Scoring Tool at 1/2" and 1" on three sides - two short sides and one long side
Trim off the "squares" in each corner on the "bottom" side as shown in the pictures below
Cut the tab as below and add sticky tape to this and to all three sides.
Fold on the score lines and add sticky tape to all three sides. Attach to the inside of your clear-mount case.
Add a piece of DSP to the front (4 1/4" x 1 3/4")
Make two of these and adhere to the inside of your Clear-Mount Case.
Add your cards and envelopes and you have a wonderful gift!!
