No Time To Stamp?

This week JustRite Stampers is sponsoring the 2Sketches4You Challenge with a fabulous, HUGE prize giveaway.  You can read all about it at the 2Sketches 4You Blog.  I wanted to play along as it was a FUN sketch, and I decided I wanted to make a monogram card, but vary my style a bit.  I LOVE to do monogram projects, and when I do they typically lend themselves to more traditional or elegant styles, as in the project here.  Well, today took a different turn and it’s a fun-loving monogram for the younger set:

As you can see I also made an envelope to match, all using an older set of Crate Paper, Carnival I believe — I better go check on that to be sure.  This was rather easy because I used punchouts from the Crate Paper pack.

This is a standard 5.5 x 4.25″ card, but I cut my base card only 3.75″ wide so that I’d have room to adhere on my scalloped edges that were punchouts from the Crate paper.  They stick out 1/4″ on each side beyond the card edge.  My fun ribbon is from the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store by May Arts (links at end of post).

I used the Curlz Monogram Kit for my monogram, and I’m very pleased to tell you all that I am now carrying the full line of JustRite Monogram Kits in the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store, Page 3.  I love them, use them often and thought they’d be a great addition!  The Curlz font included in the Curlz Kit is so whimsical, I just love it with this Crate Paper — very light hearted and fun!  The Monogram is Nestie cut, the scallop behind it is a SU Scallop Punch, the pink/blue layer behind that is a Crate punchout and the bottom scallop layer is a Nestie cut.  Buttons are attached with the 100% Jute String.

And here’s my coordinating envelope made in a few minutes with the Envelope-It by Scor-It.  Again, for a step-by-step how-to,  read this post. And no, I would not mail this envelope.  It is something I would hand deliver to a birthday party, or some such event.  However, minus the ribbon and popped up monogram, it is most definitely a mailable envelope!
