As the end of the current catalogue fast approaches I have been looking at those stamp sets that I have neglected in recent months. Today I thought I would show you guys a set of note cards using Work of Art. This is one of the stamp sets I picked in my Starter kit almost 2 years ago (It’s my second SU birthday next week! so excited!!!) but I haven’t used it as much recently, time to change that!
These are so super simple to do. I used the paint strokes stamp from Work of Art and inked it up, and stamped it four times down a piece of Whisper White card stock without re-inking it. This creates a great gradient effect, and is a great demonstration of the number of times you can generation stamp with Stampin’ Up! inks. I selected four colours: Island Indigo, So Saffron, Old Olive and Watermelon Wonder. The So Saffron didn’t work quite as well as the others, but I still love the card
The sentiment is also from Work of Art, and is stamped in Chocolate Chip ink.
These cards would make a great gift, and so I also created this awesome box to hold them and their envelopes too!
Box Base – Early Espresso Card stock – 25.5 x 16 cm
Score on the long side at 2, 18.5 and 20.5 cm
Score on the short side at 2 and 14 cm
The lid is created with a piece of Window Sheet – 20.7 x 16.2 cm
Scored on all for sides at 2 cm.
When working with Window Sheet you need to score repeatedly, to ensure a crease it formed, but it looks wonderful when its finished
The box is completed with a knot of Whisper White Organza Ribbon and a bow in Old Olive Bakers Twine

Its that time again, I am so excited to see what everyone has made based on the sketch this month! I have chosen to use some Designer Series Paper that is on the retiring list and will sadly leave us on 31st May, but I am sure that some of the girls will show me some sneaky peaks of new products, and I cannot wait!
Once I had created the card I realised that it wouldn’t fit in a standard envelope, and so grabbed another piece of the same Designer Series paper and my Envelope Punch Board to create custom envelope.
I completed the envelope with a belly band of Night of Navy card stock (26 x 5 cm, Scored on the long side at 11, 12.5, 23.5 and 25 cm). The sentiment is heat embossed in white, and the flowers and butterfly are taken from the Garden in Bloom Stamp set.
The ‘You’ is actually die cut 4 times, the first time from the stamped piece of Whisper White, and then 3 times in Early Espresso. It is super easy to layer these together using Tombow glue (although the silicone mat helps lots!). Before I die cut the You though I stamped onto the piece of Whisper White, first with the flowers from Birthday Blossoms in Perfect Plum, and then in Blushing Bride and Crumb Cake with Gorgeous Grunge.
