embossed & monogrammed (PTI blog hop)

embossed & monogrammed

I love a pretty monogrammed card set.  This one's for the february PTI blog hop.

embossed & monogrammed

I went for simple but elegant with this one, mostly because I wanted an excuse to play around with my new "mini blooms" stamp set and the pink zing powder I ordered.

embossed & monogrammed

I embossed the florals onto a piece of rustic cream cardstock and cut the letters with the cameo silhouette.

A pop of aqua mist cardstock and a set of kraft envelopes rounded out my set.  I'm thrilled to have this gift on hand, all ready to gift to Sofia's teacher at the end of the year.  I procrastinate on everything, so this is making me really proud!

Thanks for stopping by - happy hopping!

    Great idea for a teacher gift, they can always use more cards! Although maybe she'll want to keep these for herself : ) The touch of aqua really kicks it up a notch!

    Good for you to be ahead of the game! Love the CAS look. I think I might have to recreate this with another set since I didn't get mini blooms yet.
    Love it!
