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!
