My hubby has a wonderful secretary that works incredibly hard - when I first joined the workforce umpteen years ago I was a secretary, and always appreciated gifts at the holidays. I created these for her from me (well, they are from him, but she knows...lol). I was influenced by Kimber McGray's layouts on 2Peas - using complementary patterned papers, thin string and a chipboard piece.
Card bases measure 5" x 4-1/4", but with the horizontal strip the finished size of the cards measure 5-1/2" x 4-1/4".
Papertrey scallop border, May Arts burlap string. Patterned papers/chipboard pieces are from October Afternoon's latest and greatest, Farmhouse.
The interior was kept simple, so she can keep it blank for a long note, or add the sentiment of her choosing, like I did with this card set here. The interior trim is the leftover piece from creating the card front scallop.
Stamped a variety of sentiments on die cuts of Parchment (Memory Box) cardstock...
...added Glue Dot Lines to the obverse side, keeping the protective film in place.
Created directions, computer generated on white cardstock and cut into squares...cut to fit into bitty bags. The bag flap folds over the front, and neatly tucks behind the cardstock square - like this:
Housed in a lovely presention box with a clear lid (from Nashville Wraps #SB738). I want a set of these for ME! Maybe after the holidays. Hope you're having a good one!
