A “Touch of Nature” Sample

 Touch of Nature Stationery Set

I am re-posting this last year’s gift bag/stationery sample done with the retiring set "A Touch of Nature" set that is retiring shortly! This is one of the couple of sets of stationery that I made for teacher’s gifts last year.
 
I took a small 8 1/2 x 5 1/4 x 3 inch Kraft handle bag and put a ‘false front’ and stamped the vanilla tissue. The bag matches the card and stationery container all made with cardstock.  I have the stationery holder standing at far left and shown open at the bottom.  The card is standing up. 
 
The template for the stationery holder is HERE.
 
The main set used is "A Touch of Nature"   The colors are Always Artichoke, So Saffron (sponged with More Mustard) and Black. I got the inspiration for the entire ensemble  from the card (which I got in a swap but didn’t have a name on it–gotta put your name on stuff!).  The center of the flower is a brown pom-pom… the 3D look is priceless.

Elegant Wedding Card

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

 

This elegant wedding card was made with the soon retiring In Color "Soft Sky" paper and matching Designer Series Paper "Spring Silhouettes". 

Sets used include Together Forever & Frames with a Flourish,. Accessories include the double stitched Soft Sky grosgrain ribbon and the (for now) retired "Styled Silver" Hodgepodge Hardware.  I say ‘for now’ retired because I have seen it used in samples of upcoming sets coming out in August with the 2008 Fall/Winter Idea Book & Catalog!  I

LOVE the new Hodgepodge and am sorry to say goodbye to the old.  See our Special Offer on all current Hodgepodge Hardware finishes.

You can still purchase Hodgepodge Hardware and it is 25% off while supplies last (or until August 10th!).
