Cuttlebug Challenges #33: Monogram Gift Set

Okay, so I kinda 'went to town' using all kinds of tools/embossing folders, inks on this one. This is for the Cuttlebug Challenges #33: Monogram Gift Sets challenge. This gift set is for my son's teacher who is getting married this summer. Her surname initial will be changing so this is perfect!!!

Huge list of tools and supplies:

Fiskar border punches: Effervescence, Upper Crest, Sunburst

Stampin' Up! punches: scalloped cirle and small top note punch (may have another name)

Paper Shapers photo corner punch

Stampin' Up! "S" Stamp: Best Friends Alphabet

Martha Stewart Doily Lace edge punch

Distress Inks: Broken China, Peeled Paint

various inkpads by See D's

Cuttlebug Embossing Folders: Dots and Spots, Swiss Dot, D'Vine Swirls, Argyle, Perfect Paisley, Bubbles, flourish corner punch ef

various ribbons

all cards by DCWV as well as some of the cs

all mini brads by Making Memories

Put all cards in acetate envelope and glued inside of folder that has additional mongrams on it and closed with belly wrapper to complete gift set.

Not gonna write out all that I did here, hopefully it is obvious. An electric die cut machine was actually starting to make sense today (hee hee). Hope you like it! And I REALLY hope the teacher does :)
