Simple Bella Card

I made a couple of these simple cards with matching envelopes to go into the Bella card holder from yesterday's post. The colors for the card are Certainly Celery and Elegant Eggplant. They are stamped on Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the stem and leaves first and then used the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to line up the flower at the top of the stem. I just inked the flower separately without inking the stem and leaves. Hope that makes sense! The "Thank You" sentiment is also from the Bella Rose stamp set. The card holder / booklet is held closed by a piece of Elegant Eggplant 1/4" grosgrain ribbon.

This was such a fun project to make and is perfect for homemade gifts. The box template was created by Lauren Meader and purchased through www.papertreyink.com.

A Bella Box

Happy Friday everyone! I am busy preparing for a workshop that I have tomorrow. I thought I would share the gift I am making for my hostess. You all know how much I just love making cards with matching gift boxes. Here is another!
This one opens on the side, like a book, and inside are two folders to hold the cards and envelopes. It is held closed by a piece of grosgrain ribbon. I used the Bella Rose stamp set for the outside decor and the cards themselves so they match. Here is a picture of the inside. I did use some old retired designer paper for the inside as that was all I had on hand to match the eggplant color of the flower. I will post again over the weekend and show the cards that I put in to match.

Would you like to make this Bella Box? I will show you how at a class on Thursday, March 26th and I would love for you to come! The fee is $20 for this class. Space is limited so make sure you reserve your spot today simply by e-mailing me!
