Tea for Two Stationery Box

Hi, it's been over a week since I last posted, hopefully I am back on track. As the spring/summer seasonal catalogue will be ending at the end of June I thought I would share a set I made using the gorgeous Tea for Two DSP and the Dress Up Framelits. It's a stationery box based on a tutorial over at Splitcoast Stampers, I adapted it to fit UK envelope/card sizes which are a bit different from US. It would make a lovely gift.
Here is my box:

 Take off the lid and it unfolds, there is one large pocket that easily hold four cards and envelopes and two smaller pockets that will hold two 3" x 3" note cards and envelopes, or tags. The splitcoast  stampers tutorial uses DSP to make the box but I wanted it a bit more sturdy so I used some crumb cake card stock and decorated it with Tea for Two DSP.

On the fold down flap I stuck a little notebook that I decorated using DSP and the Dress Up framelits, the envelope is made using the scallop envelop die, sadly retiring. I have put some sentiments inside that I made using the itty bitty banners stamp set and framelits as I thought it would be nice for the recipient to choose which, if any sentiment they would like to use.

If you would like to purchase anything from the seasonal catalogue or the retirement list just contact me. I will show you the cards I made to go inside over the next few days.

Open Sea #2

Here are the other two cards I made using the Open Sea stamp set.  Again I used the Label collection framelits and cut an aperture out of the card front, the card was folded long ways/tent fold so this was easy to do.

For the next card I used the label that I cut out of the first card.  As you can see I also put the stamp-a-ma-jig to good use lining up the ledger stamp image.

I made a holder to put all the cards in, I'll show you that tomorrow.

Open Sea

Just realised I haven't posted a collection of cards I made using Stampin' Up! Open Sea stamp set.  I love this set and it's brilliant for men cards. I used Not Quite Navy and Crumb Cake colour scheme. I had a plaly around with apertures using the label collection framelits. Here is the first card, for this one I made a frame:

For the second card I used the framelilt to cut out a window from the crumb cake layer, The sentiments are from the itty bitty banner set, I love this because it has matching framelits.

Have you got over the shock of actually seeing cards on my blog instead of updates! I will show you the other cards tomorrow.

Pastel Madison Avenue

All the cards I have made using the Madison Avenue stamp set from Sale-a-brations have been quite bright and bold so I thought I would do a pastel version. These are my February thank you cards for my customers.

 The colour scheme is bashful blue, so saffron and certainly celery.  I also used the itty bitty banners set which you can get free during Sale-a-brations.
