Stationary Swap!

I mentioned in my last post (which went up only a few minutes ago!) that I completed TWO swaps this past week.. Well, here's the results of swap #2!

This swap involved creating a set of stationary. The folder is an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of CS, layed out in landscape (wider side to side). It is scored vertically at 5 1/2" and horizontally at 2". There is a small notch cut out where the folds meet to decrease the bulkiness of the fold. The ends on each side are then sealed in order to hold in the stationary!

Each set contains one holder, three cards (all of mine were identical) with coordinating envelopes and one altered item - a pen, notepad, bookmark, etc.

My first set uses the "Life Delights" paper pack (striped B&T), chocolate, blush, and lilac mist CS. The stamped image is from the stamp set that came in the "tickled pink" kit. The pen - which I am only now realizing that you can barely see at the bottom of the picture - has an insert of the striped B&T.



My second set uses the Emporium Creative Basics paper again (LOVE that paper!). The floral B&T is mounted on Twilight and Sweet Leaf CS. The flowers are from the larger Just Blooms collection and are dyed in a concoction of Vineyard Berry re-inker and 90% rubbing alcohol, then spritzed with Glimmer Mists (candy apple red) to make it sparkle. The button centers are from the winter cozy button collection.
