a Sarah Kay stationary set

Hi all!  I hope your week is going well.  The leaves are turning fall colors and the air is getting cooler….I love this time of year!

Tonight I thought I’d share the rest of a gift I made.  This altered stationary set was made to give with my altered jewelry box I posted on Monday.  I thought the dotted dp on the jewelry box went well with the gorgeous paper this set was already covered in.  I found this stationary set a few months ago in a Burlington Coat Factory store.  I loved it but knew it would be even prettier altered! 

Each piece in this set had an image of a black dress on it.  So I stamped the same Sarah Kay Spring Is Back image several times and covered up all those dresses.  Here’s the set all together in the box.

Here I changed the image and added some Primas, ribbon, and pearls.  The Primas weren’t an exact color match, so I touched them up with a bit of color from my Copic marker.

Inside there is a set of 6 notecards.  The main image was covered up and I added some ribbon bows…easy peasy!  Then I also stamped the image on the envelopes to coordinate.

The set also included a journal and notepad.  I only added the image, ribbon and some pearls to the small notepad.  On the larger journal I also placed a sentiment and attached a ribbon with charms to mark the page.

I hope this brings a smile to the recipient!
