It all started with a conversation...

Ok, so this whole project started with my husband running into friends of ours a few months ago.  They had not seen each other in a while.  When my husband was asked what I was up to these days he said "she makes cards & sells stuff to make cards".  My husband said the guy sort of crinkled up his nose and said "she does what?"  So I started thinking that I wanted to send our friends a sampler of my card making using all amuse|studio products.  And the biggie for me was the presentation!  So here is what I came up with...

I made the box out of kraft cardstock to fit 4 bar sized note cards.  It was a tutorial from a class that I took online.  I had some lido-colored tissue paper in my stash so I stamped the venetian background in titian ink.  This was a beautiful inlay over top of the note cards.  It really looked classy & professional!  I also used the 1.5" maple tag and stamped Handmade on it from the hand stamped stamp set & attached it with toffee twine.

Now for the cards...Eight note cards fit in the box nicely & I decided on a color palette of titian & lido.  It made it easier for me when designing the cards to stick with a couple of colors.
