Desk Organizer

Bella Bleu is a DSP carried over from the previous catalogue and was one of the very first that I bought last year because I love the subtle shades of blue and beige.

Probably the reason for the purchase was that it used Night of Navy and I needed to use this color which languished in my card stock tray for years because I couldn't get it to work with anything.  But in the past year, there have been other DSP's that have worked well with it and it is now one of my favorite colors.  Now, if SU would come out with something that I can use Glorious Green with, I'd be ecstatic!

I started out making this desk organizer using Night of Navy and Bella Bleu and, keeping it all in the Bella family, I stamped the flower from Bella's Bloom for the oval piece and added it to the top of the organizer with dimensionals.

Thanks to Krista Visser-Driessen for the measurements of this organizer that holds 4" x 4" cards or note cards.

I then made these note cards to fit into the organizer.   I needed an envelope to put the note cards in and  a crimped envelope would work perfectly with the note cards.  I just love making these!

Starting with a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope, I sealed the flap and inked up the Bella Toile background stamp with Night of Navy and stamped both sides of the envelope.   I cut off 1 1/2" of the envelope from the end of the envelope (as if you were addressing the envelope - cut 1 1/2" from the side).  I then inserted the bottom part of the envelope into the crimper and rolled it through.

I added a Night of Navy card stock belly band around the top of the envelope and wrapped 5/8" Very Vanilla Grosgrain ribbon over that and tied a bow.

The Just for You sentiment is from Oval All stamped in Very Vanilla and punched out with the large oval punch and layered onto a Night of Navy oval scallop piece and placed on the envelope with dimensionals.

This is the final set with one desk organizer, four note cards and four envelopes.

A happy 4th of July to all my American stamping buddies.

Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping!

Beautiful job on all, Dayanna! I just love Bella Bleu, don't you? And to think it didn't catch my eye until recently...
