Marvelous Monograms

The last few days have been very busy and I haven't had much time to stamp.  I wanted to share a quick and easy project with you, though.  This is perfect for anyone with a limited amount of time and an abundance of scraps!


We made the card below at Nancy's workshop last week.  The card features the new Haiku Designer Series Paper and the Lovely Letters alphabet.

As my gift to Nancy for opening her home to us, I made her a set of 4 monogram cards and packaged them in a fabulous clear box.  The boxes are available at Impress in a set of 10 for $5.00.  I use these boxes to package cards for craft fairs and for last-minute gifts.  The "belly band" was created by adhering the Tangerine Tango ribbon to the 1" Chocolate Chip double-stitched ribbon, then placing a monogram on top.

The best part of this project is that I used scrap pieces of the Haiku Designer Series paper that measured 3" wide or less.  Normally, I would just toss these small pieces, but now I have a fantastic way to use them on Monogram cards.


Happy Stampin'
