From The Desk Of/Stationary

Hello again!  I have something to share with you.  This week for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday, Cindy is our hostess and the theme is "From The Desk" she is asking us to make note cards, monogrammed cards.....whatever you can find on your desk.  I think I went a little crazy and made a whole stationary set for my Mother in Law.  I will say that this took me about 6 hours from start to finish.  I had to decide the design and it took me a little bit to decide what I was going to put them in.  Plus, the top of the box alone took me a good hour and a half.

***I am warning you that this is a very photo heavy post.

 I made this box using Beate's pretty A2 card box tutorial on SCS.

 I made 4 cards in this boxed set, 2 peach and 2 teal with varying sentiments from varying Flourishes sets using some of my favorite Spellbinders dies.

Here is a close up of the embossed detail at the bottom of the card.  As you can see there is colored cardstock peeking through the embossed cardstock.  I simply adhered a 1 inch strip of colored cardstock to the back of the card and stitched it all together.  Then adhered the mat layer to the card base.

Here you can see all the pieces before I put them together.  

The sentiment is popped up with dimensional pop dots.

This is all of them together with pretty matching envelopes.

I tied a satin ribbon around the cards and envelopes to dress the inside of the box up a little.
