Ferns & Fiddles Note Card Set & Box

Hello Fellow Bloggers! I know you are probably incredibly busy, here, just 3 days before Christmas, so I won't keep you but a sec, however, I do have a few photos that you can scroll through.

I saw this post on Leslie Miller's Running With Scissors blog, and I loved how she got so much out of one stamp set. It inspired me to choose one stamp set and make a set of cards with it. I also made a magazine-style box and sleeve to hold the set. I used Flourishes' Ferns and Fiddles stamp set and Viva la Verve's December 2013 Week 1 Sketch Challenge for the layout.

I used Lori Whitlock's A2 Card & Magazine Holder with Sleeve cut file to make this box, and rather than cover the outside of the sleeve with dp, I opted for an embossed look, to match the cards.

Everything I did is fairly evident. I edged the fishtail banners in a gold leaf pen, cut the Award Banner from a gold shimmer cs, added sequins to every card, and on the blue and yellow card, I used Nautical Dark Blue cs from Flourishes' True Blue Color Made Easy Paper Collection, stamped several smaller fern images with Versamark, then heat embossed them with clear ep. I sprinkled a sparkly ep and a yellow ep across the cs and heat embossed that, too.  You may have noticed that I used the same image on two of the cards, but with two different names. A botanist, I am not! :)

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have a Merry, Merry Christmas!
