I made two sets of cards for some friends' birthdays using the bead die and bead paper. I was inspired by this project by Christina. I bought the paper because I loved the colors and patterns, and thought I would use it more for cards than beads. I have made a few beads, but haven't done anything with them yet. For the card set, I used the same pattern on every card, and just varied the sentiments.
The patterned paper is so thin, it is perfect for lining envelopes.
Here is how they look all boxed up--using the box that the new stamp sets come in:
And then packaged with a little tag from Do Me a Favor:
Thanks for Visiting
These are so great and I love this idea...even the packaging is perfect and so professional. Using the thin paper to line the inside was also a great idea, adds to the finished look. Great idea to make a set of each color!
