I needed a small gift for a friend so decided I would have a go at my first gift card set. I was really pleased with the effect on
this card so decided to use the same stamps, this time though I made a mask for the frame so these are almost one layer cards. I have just added the images to Kraft cards.

First I stamped the Old Letter stamp on the white card and embossed in white, for the five cards I have used five different colourways using various distress inks blended together. Lastly I added the Hydrangea and the sentiment.
To finish off the set I have made a Pizza Box using
this tutorial, only before sticking together I used the spellbinders label die to cut a hole in the lid and added acetate for a window.
The front of the box is also distressed and stamped with Old letter writing.
Its a beautiful day today and we are off to a family barbeque, hope all my American visitors are having a fun holiday weekend.
Supplies: Various colours of distress inks. Hero Arts stamps, S4878 Old Letter Writing. CG197 Old Letter.K5378 Hydrangea. CL342 Everyday Sayings. CL272 All Occasion Sayings.

Gorgeous!!! LOVE this - everything from the colors to the box with window... Thank you for sharing this - it's beautiful! Have a safe and happy holiday!
Did your friend adore them? If you had given them to me, I wouldn't have used them. I would have framed them & displayed them in my home. They are truly beautiful!
fantastic! I foresee a lot of fun creating sets in the future.... I for one would be more inclined to buy a set than a single card, as I get more fun sending them out into the world!
I love what you did here Sally. Such a great set. And love how you presented them
It looks gorgeous!
Wish I was that friend, that's for sure!
