Christmas Gifts for Co-workers

Well it has been a LONG time since I posted, yikes sorry about that.  I wanted to share with you all the fun and EASY craft I made for my co-workers.  They are note cards with their initials.

 

Here is the final product

 

Here you can see the different colors and designs I used.  This was super easy and fun.  It was neat to see the differences in all of them.

 

Each card was a little different in this set of pictures you can see how no two are alike and trust me you can not replicate the pattern even if you tried.

 

Here is the final set each person will receive, at first I thought each person would get a set that was all matching like this, but then my daughter suggested everyone get one of each more fun that way! Guess that is why she is the artsy one!

 

So here is how this was done:

pre-cut white glossy stamping paper -Archivers (in the Tim Holtz section)

Note Cards & Envelopes-Archivers (Kraft color-I had intended on black but, came to the realization then I would have to cut a white or color to put on the back so people could actually write on them.  Anyone who knows me well knows even with all the tools and gadgets in the world I can not cut straight so that option was a no go!)

Adirondack Alcohol Inks-Archivers (I had a gift card that really needed to be used so I would go in there about once every few days and purchase things so I could get 30% of each thing (sneaky!))  I would suggest you shop the stores you have coupons for and just pick up parts and pieces of this project.

The initial stamps are from The Stamps of Life http://www.stephaniebarnardstamps.com/index.htm I happen to have seen these stamps at a convention a few years ago and loved all her designs.  So when this project came along it was the perfect reason to order some stamps!

That's it kids that's all it takes I did these sitting in front of the TV on my "crafty tray"!
