I LOVE LOVE LOVE ‘Brocade Background’ Printed Papers and I really like the colour combo of…River Rock, Choc Chip and Always Artichoke. I made this set of cards as a gift for a friend who has regular classes with me at her house. I have a thing for sets of cards in a box or even a bag, I think they make such a good gift and I have friends who don’t make cards or even Scrapbook so they always love when I give them a set of cards. This time around I made an Origami Box and four cards. This is what the set looks like:
Here is a close up of the tag on the box, I used one of my Favourite stamps “A Fabulous gift for you” from Taking care of Business
Here is what the cards look like. I made a few more of these cards and they were my swaps at Stampin’ Up! Regional training a few weeks ago…I was a little scared that my swaps would not be to standard as I had never been to a Stampin’ Up! Training event before and I did not know what to expect, Well I am happy to say I was able to give them all away (I just had to beg people to take them in the end) lol
Materials used:All Stampin’ Up

Paper: ‘Brocade Background’, Very Vanilla, River Rock and Choc Chip

Love them, we dont often think to use the beautiful papers that stampin up have. Teneale you had shown us that we need to look outside the square, they are simply stunning

I think this notecard set is stunning Teneale. This DP series hasn’t been on my favourites list, even though Baroque Motifs Stamp Set is, but you have really raised my appreciation of it with your cards and box.

*SNORT*!! I saw a QUEUE waiting and hoping to snag one of your beautiful swap cards! I love mine, and it’s made me look afresh at this paper set. You’ve done a lovely job here!
No wonder I didnt get one of these swaps, they would have been terribly popular. You have just upped the sales of this paper pack! Just lovely for a christmas gift for friends as you said.
