Royal Blog Tour "Monogram Sweet"

"Welcome to my Castle.  I hope you "royally" enjoy the projects I've prepared for your visit."

My featured stamp set is "Monogram Sweet".  I have made two projects using this set.  The first one is a wedding invitation.  I used Pale Plum and Whisper White card stock.  I used the scallop trim border punch and the white satin ribbon.  I also used the Big Shot and the textured impressions embossing folder "Elegant Bouquet" on the Pale Plum card stock. (I also used the Wedding Sweet stamp set)

Here is the inside of the invitation.....

Here is the outside of the invitation....

The second project is a stationary folder.  I used Dusty Durango and Whisper White card stock.  I used the Dusty Duramgo 1/2" polka-dot grosgrain ribbon.  I also used the Big Shot and the textured impressions embossing folder "Elegant Bouquet"on the outside and inside Whisper White card stock.  (I used the medallion from the Together Forever stamp set.)


Here is the outside front of the folder....

Here is the outside back of the folder....

and here is the inside "pockets" of the folder.....(the bottom pockets will fit a standard size card)

If you are interested in the template for these projects, check back on my blog at a later date or leave me a comment with your email address.
