Clean & Simple Congrats

I made this graduation card with the Clean and Simple Stamping FTL#144 here. It's for a high school graduate who is heading to the University of Wisconsin-Madison and their colors are red and white.
The base is Real Red and I added some Celebrations DSP. I ran the edge of the DSP thru the Scallop Edge Border punch. I stamped congratulations from Perfect Punches in Real Red and punched it out with the Modern Label punch. I stamped the flowers from Printed Petals in Real Red and punched them out with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punches pack. I popped the sentiment and flowers all up with Stampin' dimensionals.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Perfect Punches and Printed Petals
Papers: Whisper White, Real Red and Celebrations DSP
Inks: Real Red
Accessories: Scallop Edge Border punch, Modern Label punch, Itty Bitty Shapes Punches pack, Stampin' dimensionals

Love Letter DSP Stationary Gift Set

This stationary gift set is a present I made for my aunt. The top picture shows the outside of the portfolio and the bottom pic is of the note cards and envelopes on the inside.


This is super easy to make. Just take an 8 1/2 by 11 piece of card stock and score and fold in half at 5 1/2. Then score the other end at 2 inches, fold up and adhere the side flaps only with Sticky Strip.

The note cards are just 8 1/2 by 11 pieces of card stock cut in 4 pieces of 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 inches. And the Very Vanilla was cut to 4 by 5 1/4 inches.

I used two patterns from the Love Letter DSP on the front. I stamped the images from Artistic Etchings on Very Vanilla with Riding Hood Red and Basic Black. The Eiffel Tower was cut out and popped up with Stampin dimensionals. Amour was punched out with the 1 3/8 by 5/8 inch oval punch. That was layered onto a Basic Black piece punched with the 1 3/4 by 7/8 inch Oval punch and then onto a Riding Hood Red piece punched with the Scallop Oval punch. A piece of retired 1 1/4 inch Riding Hood Red Striped grosgrain ribbon, adhered with Sticky Strip ties nicely to close the folder.

For the note cards I stamped the "j" from Contempo Alphabet in Basic Black and Riding Hood Red on Very Vanilla. and used the 1 1/4 inch Circle punch. That was layered onto a Riding Hood Red/Basic Black piece punched with the 1 3/8 inch Circle punch and then onto a Riding Hood Red/Basic Black piece punched with the 1 3/4 inch Scallop Circle punch and popped up with Stampin dimensionals.
