JUST A NOTE
Ten note cards and envelopes fit nicely in this clear box for a wonderful presentation! All set and ready for gift giving! My husband will gift this set to his secretary. Since most employees at his office are men, I made five notes with what would be a more suitable male color, dark green, and an orchid color that is definitely more feminine.
I started out by cutting my base colored cardstock, SU orchid opulence and PTI ripe avocado. Each 8 ½” x 11” sheet is cut into four 4 ¼” x 5 ½” pieces. The white PTI cardstock is cut into 4” x 5 ¼ pieces.Ten note cards and envelopes fit nicely in this clear box for a wonderful presentation! All set and ready for gift giving!

Since most employees at his office are men, I made five notes with what would be a more suitable male color, dark green, and an orchid color that is definitely more feminine.
For stamping, I used two JustRite products, the Harmony Classic 1 3/8” x 2 1/8” Oval Stamper with a ring border only. What I love about the ring border I chose is you can color the image or leave it as is…either way looks fantastic. I felt like coloring, so I decided to use my Copic markers, V15 and G99 in this set. For the sentiment I utilized a JustRite self inked stamper, Just a Note. This was easy, easy and a crisp image every time! Check out the SALE going on right now at the JustRite store! This self inked stamper is ONLY one dollar! YES, you read it right! A JustRite Deal!
The belly band is 1” in width with a strip of patterned paper to pick up the orchid color! I layered three flowers, punched two holes with my Crop a Dile so I could easily thread the ribbon and tie it off for the flower center.
I couldn’t leave without showing you this additional note, card where I was experimenting with several colors of Copics. I LOVE how this turned out, so colorful and like a stain glass effect of sorts. I definitely will be making more of these! I attached this note to Papertreyink Raspberry Fizz cardstock. I hope this inspires you to create a few note cards! Whether it will be a set for you, friends, family, or coworkers, it will for sure be a perfect, Just Right gift! Have a great day!
