Note Cards - Wedgwood Cameos

I made a set of note cards with vintage Wedgeport Notes images that I bought at a second hand store a few weeks away. The sticker on the box indicates it was sold in a Woodward`s store.  These stores closed in 1992 so the box of cards is at least 25 years old.  It held 16 images but only 12 of them had ovals which I chose for this project.

I cut the card front with the Stampin Up Aphothecary thin-lit aligning the ovals of the cameos. Since the cutting edges are on the edge of the thin-lit it was easy to see exactly where it was going cut. I then mounted a piece of coordinating card stock at the bottom of the card front.  The left one just has a solid piece which has been just adhered with the edges butted up to each other.  The center one, the coordinating layer was punched with the SU! Eyelet border punch and overlapped the card front.  On the right one, I used one of the SU! Edgelits in the Adorning Accents set again overlapping the pieces. I then adhered the accent onto the ivory card front.

I had a card stock leftover from the 12x12 which I cut down to 1 inch wide. I used 2 of them to create a container to place the 12 cards and envelopes inside. I added a credit label on the outside. This was placed inside a gussetted cello bag which measures 3.5W x 1.25D x 8.5T inches. I just folded the top of the bag like a gift and taped the flap closed.

This used 4 12x12 card stock, a bit of solid card stock, 12 envelopes and the vintage cameos.

Greeting Card Portfolios - Auction

I have been wanting to improve my packaging on my Greeting Card Gift Sets so this is my latest invention.
I created and printed an insert for the cellophane sleeve which gives what the item is, the type of cards in the set and credits on the back.  I slipped it into the sleeve then filled the 4 spots with cards, 2 on the front and 2 on the back.  This allows the person to see all 4 cards.  I placed a staple in the center fold to keep the cards in their particular quadrant.

These 2 sets are being donated to an auction for world missions.

Incentive Presentation

Here's the final presentation for my incentive.  I cut a header for the cello bag with the Tim Holtz Ornamental die by placing a 4" piece of My Mind's Eye Penny Lane "Special Swirls" cardstock aligned evenly on the long side.  Scored it down the middle and folded in half.  I placed the top of the bag between the layers and stapled it.
