Note Card Set featuring Varied Vases

I saw the idea for this cute little note card holder online from Michaela Titheridge of The Crafty Oink Pen.  It features the new stamp set, Varied Vases that has a punch to cut out the vases. 

The blank notecards are a set in the catalog that sell for only $6.50 and give you card bases and envelopes to make 20 notecards.  Once you've made one, it's hard to stop!  They can be mailed using regular postage.  What a fun and easy project to make! 

To make the notecard holder, visit here for instructions.  It can hold up to 3 cards on each side along with the envelopes.  I chose to make a four-card set for mine and everything fits very well in the holder. 

Here is a pic of the whole set that I made- holder and 4 matching notecards.  You could easily use any stamp set and make a sweet little gift for someone.  :)

Craftin' in the New Year!

Over the holidays I ordered some little calendars for paper crafting on a website called Taylored Expressions.  I added them to a sweet little desk calendar that I made using the new designer paper called Succulent Garden.  I love how the Sugar Plum and the Tip Top Taupe colors work so well together.

Then I added some flowers from Grateful Bunch.  The flowers are stamped in groups of three and then punched out with a coordinating punch, my favorite kind!

I loved working with these colors.  They're so refreshing.  Check out my next post to see more of what I made to coordinate with my calendars.

I found the idea on Pinterest from Erica Cerwin.
