Hi everyone! Welcome to the Stamp Simply Ribbon store September blog hop!
This month's theme was to create a gift of some kind. Being the 3-D shy kinda girl, I went with a set of cards. I made this trio using the same Pink Paislee 365 Degrees pattern paper, the same Prima Fairytale Rose in white, and the same basic layout with circles. I like my card sets to be similar enough to coordinate, but not exact.
Here is the first card. This one uses a sentiment from Everyday Greetings by Rubber Soul, one red rhinestone, some red twill ribbon and burlap string:
Here is the second card. This one also uses a sentiment from Everyday Greetings by Rubber Soul, orange rhinestones, 5/8" ivory crocheted lace and 1/8" blue silk ribbon:
Here is the last card. This one uses a sentiment from Rose Border by Rubber Soul, white wrinkled ribbon and pearls in Lush:
So here they are all packaged up. I discovered rather quickly that all 3 would NOT fit in my box! Yep, these Prima flowers are very pretty, but BULKY! So, I only packaged up the birthday cards. I kept the packaging SIMPLE. I used some of the silver elastic cord -I love to use this because it is easy to tie and remove AND it keeps it's shape. I added some 1/8" red silk ribbon (again double bow) with another white prima in the center. Not very fancy schmancy, but I like it simple!As with all of our monthly hops, there is hidden blog candy along the way!! Be sure to check out my fellow DT's Autumn gift creations and leave a little love along the way. One random commenter will win a fabulous prize -the Stamp Simply Kaisercraft Utopia Kit (which is shown at the top of my blog).

What great cards! I love how simply cutting the DSP horizontally gave such a unique effect. I wonder how that great Blog candy Utopia paper would look done this way? Hope I get to find out!
Love your set of cards. Beautiful.
Sometimes I turn one or two cards so the embellishments nest rather than compete for space in the box. Beautiful cards and great layout.
I don't agree, they all look pretty fancy, smancy to me, not to mention really pretty cards. You've all used the theme really well, and created some really nifty gifts. thanks for sharing.
