I thought and thought and thought some more and came up with this card. It dawned on me, this is my first ever Back to School card. There is a first time for everything.
The bundle of books just screamed to me... "Hi Ho Hi Ho, It's off to School We Go". Finished!

Now for a 3D Matching Set. On the left is a notepad with the pen attached to the front cover. Pretty nifty! On the right is another notepad holder but with a pen and pocket inside. On the bottom right is a bookmark with this same theme. I love that these are black and white. I used an alcohol based marker to color the Rhinestone Jewels a bright yellow. They really pop and look classy in person. These would be great for the college bound young lady to keep her notes handy and her book marked in style. :)
This next picture shows the notepad on the right...but opened. It is a Notepad Holder with a Pen and Pocket inside. I added a calendar to make it more useful and yellow rhinestones for some bling inside. This matching set was my door prize for Stamp Camp North today. I try to make my door prizes something hand stamped to make it more special.

Happy Stamping! Judy :)
Love your stationery set, Judy ... It looks stunning.
ReplyDeleteTo save re-inventing the wheel, do you have any measurements for making this set? The notepad is my favorite! Thanks for sharing your creative ideas.
I bought the notepads at Staples. How easy is that???!!!! :) I was very pleasantly surprised to find them there. :)
DeleteWonderful project, Judy. As usual! That was a VERY generous gift for a door prize!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharon. :)
DeleteJudy love this set, wonder where you got the calendars?Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI buy them from www.vippies.com .
DeleteGreat stationary set, Judy - are you doing a class? Looks like I could use some of my DSP to make some for gifts.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Crystal
I'm not planning to do a class...but this would be a good use for some of your DSP. :)
DeleteThis black and white set is stunning! Really catches the eye. You have listed white CS only...and no DSP. What is the black and white paper, please?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sheila
I purchased them with the black and white design already on them. It was a wonderful find! :)
DeleteLove the notepad and pen sets! Verry chic!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Starting with black and white brings class to a project...and then of course adding bling is a must. :)
DeleteLoving this project. Thanks for sharing.I must figure out how to make the notebook holder.
