So not a white elephant gift!

At our Stamp Club white elephant card exchange, I came home with these beauties!

My dear friend and stamp club member Karen, made these cards to represent each season of the year!  All I have to say is that there is nothing white elephant about these gorgeous works of art!

Furthermore, I think everyone would say that about the cards they came home with.  My girls think that I teach them, but I learn something at every stamp club I attend with them!  Love them all BIG!

Personalized Stationery Note Cards

Don't you just love the elegance of a monogrammed card?  I decided that I had several thank you cards I needed to make, as well as some notes to write.  In the interest of time, I decided to make monograms so that they can do double duty!

I used some retired paper for Sale-A-Bration called Everyday Enchantment.
(It was one of my favorites so I stocked up!)

I gave these cards a modern touch by also using some current products such as the trio border punch.

The alphabet I used is called Sophisticated Serifs and has two different sized letters in this font, the larger, which I used being 1/3/4 ". 

Throw in the triple border punch and voila'!

Wouldn't these make a wonderful gift set for a close friend or co-worker?  I know I loved receiving a similar set years back which gave me inspiration for these very cards!  I hope this offers you inspiration as well!

These are the five cards I made for our stamp club's white elephant exchange. 

I was very happy with how they turned out and highly recommend these two versatile stamp sets - Peaceful Pines and  wondrous wreath. They are both available in bundles with coordinating Framelits. Check out my store on this blog to learn more!

Accessorizing Is Key!

Sadly- this gorgeous gal sums up my ideas of exercise! 

 Having said that, she is a lot of fun- don't you think!

Here is a look at the inside!

I will be adding these to my Etsy shop in hopes that someone out there will enjoy it!  I can customize it with a birthday, thank you or thinking of you message, or it can be left blank for your own message!
