The main item is the monogrammed note cards - I made a set of six. For some reason I always prefer top folded cards and this week IÂ’ve been pleasantly surprised at how much IÂ’m liking side fold cards. This is a side fold card that leaves much of the inside layer exposed so I thought IÂ’d pretty it up. After designing the layout of the card I knew that adding a small, crisp, one letter monogram using JustRite Damask Centers and 60 Point Font, would be a fairly clean look. ItÂ’s hard to tell in the photo but the monogram sits inside a small square frame that I have popped up - then the last tier (the "B") is popped up.
he cards are all 7" x 5" and I just used standard cream colored greeting card envelopes to pair them up. No mystery to the box - it is the dimension of the card plus 1 1/2" on each side. The nice weight of the file folder made the box super sturdy and since the file folder was double sided, the inside of my box is a shiny red :-). The top of the box is made with a sheet of acetate. I cut just a tad smaller than the bottom then scored 1 1/2" in on all sides, folded and taped it up. It made for a lid that would fit just inside the bottom of the box. The box itself used one file folder and one 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of acetate. The belly band is made using a small strip of a second file folder.
