I just love personalized stationary.  And what’s so cool about making your own cards is that you can have your own set quickly and easily.  Even my brother could make these, they are so simple! 

All you need is one sheet of Basic Black cardstock cut in half and folded as the base.  Take another sheet of Certainly Celery, run it through the computer with your favorite font and your name.  Tip – create a text box so that you can rotate it to go exactly where you would like in Word, or better yet, use Publisher and create a postcard – it’ll print 4 to a page.  Cut the Celery down to 4 card fronts and you are set to stamp.

Next, use a piece of torn scrap paper to mask your name, and then stamp the background with a background stamp – you could use whatever you’d like.  I tied some matching organdy ribbon in a knot and attached it – forget the bow!  Adhere the card front to the front of the card and a blank piece inside. 

And there you have it – beautiful personalized stationary in literally a few minutes.  I made these as thank you notes for when I got married – they were lovely, inexpensive and handmade.  It doesn’t get any better than that!

Creatively yours –
