The Case for Matching Pen and Paper Sets!

A while back at a Friends Happen! meeting, my friend Kallien Meris introduced me to a wonderful project -- stationery cases created by decorating empty stamp cases!  Such a terrific project, I had my hostess club members create their own at one of our meetings.  Here are some of their amazing creations:


This one by Catherine uses Playful Polka Dots along with the Strength and Hope stamp set:


Others used the Nautical Expedition Designer Series Paper from the Summer Mini along with the Open Sea stamp set and Baker's Twine to create gifts suitable for dads:






Here's the inside of one -- specially engineered by Lea so the pad and pen would stay neatly in place:



And, here's another one using Nautical Expedition Designer Paper and The Open Sea stamp set:



I had fun creating this one for a swap with my friend Marlene Caravello.  These cases are so much fun to decorate -- if you haven't already, you should give this project a try!  Instead of filling with a notepad and pen, you could also insert some handmade cards and envelopes for a sweet gift set. 

I'd love to see what you come up with if you make these stationery cases, too.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hi,

Thanks for sharing these unique and beautiful designs of matching pen and paper sets. The pen stand attached with the note pad is really a nice piece. These can be the best gift options for a teacher.
