An elegant monogramed stationery set

Today I have another Cutting Cafe creation to share with you. This time I decided to create a monogrammed stationery set for my Stepmum, Margaret. Using the Stationery box set and the Monogram printable stamps set here is what I came up with, an elegant box containing 6 note cards and matching envelopes


The box was simplicity itself to make by simply printing the template directly onto the card and cutting and folding were directed. To decorate it I simply cut out some panels of DP slightly smaller than the box dimensions and adhered these to the top and sides of the lid.


This photograph shows the lid removed and the cards and envelopes inside. I simply embellished the lid and the cards with the monogram printed onto the same card, some grey satin ribbon and adhesive pearls. I made the note cards to the American quarter fold size cards, which are slightly shorter and wider than the UK A6 cards, which meant I could then make the matching envelopes using the template in the stationery set along with the envelope liner.

How elegant do these look?!

I made 3 cards in each of the 2 designs of paper, 1 set with the framed monogram and the other with the circle monogram.

I'm really thrilled with how this turned out and I think my Stepmum will be too! Regina's templates are just so easy to use that it means making a simple gift like this can be put together in no time at all with such elegant and personalised results! If you want the opportunity to try something like this yourself make sure you rush on over to The Cutting Cafe as there is the most amazing offer on there at the moment.
