Gold Foil Floral Note Cards

By Jolie Samuel Cards, Planner Stationary & Accessories

Hi All,

Welcome back! I’m on that summertime floral kick once more! Here’s a card using a similar pink and yellow themed floral but with a slight change. The black brush strokes are now replaced with whimsical little hearts – did you notice?! This pattern is typically not something I would gravitate towards, but the use of lots of white space and those fun little hearts made it incredibly fun to work with.

For this card, I broke out a 6×6 pad of kraft papers that I have and gold foiled some stripes on to it. I then trimmed down those pieces to give my card what I like to call ‘suspenders’! Just below those suspenders (lol) I have a gorgeous embossed floral that I used on the base of my card. I feel like it resembles white lace on this project. Very classy indeed!

Here’s a peek at the interior of the card as well.

Hope you enjoyed reading about my latest card and I will be back tomorrow with another project!

Summer Time Floral Note Cards

By Jolie Samuel Cards, Planner Stationary & Accessories

Hi All,

Welcome back! Today I’m bringing in a splash of some summer colors. These soft pinks and lemon yellows just make me smile. These cards coordinate so beautifully with the cards I have been sharing previous days. I don’t know what it is about these floral patterns, but I can’t seem to get enough!

It’s all about the details with this card. I choose to start it off with an embossed dot card base and some small strips of turquoise green and kraft brown to pull in some extra color. The pattern itself is so unique to me in that it has several ‘patches’ of black brush strokes – it’s quite stunning in person. To finish off the card I added a gold cord and tied in a bow.

Here’s a look at the interior of the card as well.

I love these clean and simple cards! They make great gifts for everyday events!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I’ll see you again real soon with a new project.

Embossed Floral Stripes Note Cards

By Jolie Samuel Cards, Planner Stationary & Accessories

Hi All,

I’m making a switch up from the white cards to a something a bit more different today. These card bases are embossed with tiny dots along the entire front. Truth be told, I struggled with the concept for this card for some time. I really loved the floral pattern, but I wanted to add some more color and didn’t quite know where to add them in. After a ton of brain storming, I decided to add in a textured light turquoise cardstock in small stripes. These stripes measure just about 1/8″. They coordinate perfectly with the small dot size of the embossed background.

This card is so elegantly finished, that I feel it can fit several occasions like bridal showers, wedding, birthday, office note cards and so many more events.

Here’s a look at the interior of the card. Just look at all those teeny tiny dots!

Hope you enjoyed taking a look at this card and I hope to see you next time!

Fall Themed Stationary Sets

By Jolie Samuel Planner Stationary & Accessories

Hi all,

As I mentioned earlier, I’ve been working on some new items for the shop. These pieces of stationary I created are an update to an ‘older model’ I previously made. If you recall, those included a pen but didn’t have a closing flap to them. Also, the designs were more intricate and I wanted to go back to simple lines and less dimension in my patterns. I also thought a simple gold heart was a perfect embellishment to the patterns. On the basic black and white set, I added a large arrow embellishment for some contrast.

These pads measure just about 3.25″ x 3.25″.

Here’s a look at some the of the gorgeous fall patterns I selected for the stationary this season.
