Monogram Gift Card Set

I have a good friend who always makes such a fuss over every card I send her, so I decided to make a monogram gift set for her for Christmas. I mean, it's fun to give handmade gifts to the people who seem to appreciate them the most, isn't it?

I used the JustRite Special Occasions Monogram Stamper kit for all of them. But since I don't enjoy mass production I changed something on each to make it a little more fun for me.

The thing they all have in common is that I used the same Anna Griffin paper, and Ranger Fired Brick distress ink. I used Peeled Pain for a border on the second one.




All cardstock is from Prism Papers. The red cardstock is Blush Red Prismatics dark, and the green is Herbal Green Prismatics medium.

The self adhesive pearls are by Kaiser Craft , and the lace is from JoAnn's Fabrics.



Of course I used Spellbinders dies on each of them. I don't know how I ever managed to make cards without them!

On the second card, the punch used on the green cardstock behind the lace is a Fiskars border punch. The rest of the border punches I used are from Martha Stewart.



Since this is a Christmas gift, I wanted to finish the inside of each of the cards, so I photographed those as well. I think you can figure out which goes with which card. Actually, I think they are in the order that I posted the card fronts.



Since most of this is self explanatory I'm not going to bore you with a lot of details. But if you have questions, please don't hesitate to email me.




I'm off to start wrapping gifts. Yes...I said start! It's my least favorite job, and I tend to procrastinate about it.

I DO, however, think I've finished my shopping except for one gift! Woo hoo!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
