Birthday Present

This stationery set was made as a birthday present for my Friend, son and confidante whom I can share everything and not be judged. He is one of the sweetest human beings i have met and i thank God for our friendship. His Birthday was on the 10th of October and his favourite colors are Black and white. I had to  find pattern paper and everything including ribbon card stock etc in black and white.

The measurements for the set was from Maymay made it and i will link it below.

Though I got the measurements from her once i made the stationery box it was not closing properly so i had to add another piece to it so that it closes snugly.

It has compartments for greeting cards, note cards, gift tags and stamps too. I handmade a note book and added a pen too.

All the greeting cards too were handmade by me using scraps of pattern paper and a die from couture creations.

  I made note cards. For the note cards i die cut the words hello, hugs and adhered it using clear glue. To decorate the tags i used the flower dies from Couture Creations and to each flower i added a matching gem/rhinestone and tied a ribbon after punching a hole..

Oh it was really fun and i enjoyed every minute of it. To customise the pen i took a thin strip of paper from the pattern paper i used for the stationery set and  rolled it around the carbon and inserted it. It is also a tip i picked from Maymay. Thank you May May. I completed the set by tying a ribbon.

The gift bag to put the gift and the cards was also made by me using one sheet of pattern paper.

 I inserted ribbon for the handles and made a gift tag using a piece of the pattern paper and it was attached to the bag. To put another gift card i made another small bag and it all fits in here.

I made the card too in black and white. I took a white card base and adhered a piece of black card stock. I cut flowers using a tiny pretty die from Couture Creations in white card stock. I had some pieces from a die cut of a unicorn which looked like a wine. I adhered that and colored it green and on to that i stuck the flowers using double sided tape. I stamped the sentiment Happy Birthday using black ink. I put a belly band and stuck a butterfly. i didnt have a black butterfly so i took a blue color one and inked it black and it looks dark blue and shiny. I made a matching envelope too by adhering black die cut flowers to a white envelope..

This is the gift tag i made by fussy cutting a piece of pattern paper from which i made the gift bag. Then i attached a piece of  black ribbon so that i could tie it to the gift bag.

I am sorry ladies my pix are not clear as i take them using my phone and i am not a good photographer. My hubby who was a very gd photographer left this world three years ago and i never thought i would have to learn phtography but now I want to and have asked one of my friends to teach me and until i sort it please bear with me.


Thank you and Blessings
