Candice Aguilar, one of the best graphic designers I know, has such a wide spectrum of styles she emulates. You just never know what she will come up with next! Last month you were wowed by Forest Friends, a collection of adorable woodland creatures with coordinating sentiments. This month it’s a trendy but classic, elegant but understated stationery building collection. Can I just say how much I LOVE this? I mean really, can you possibly think of anything more perfect for stampers?
The set contains many images to help you create stationery like any professional print shop. This includes round decorative borders in two sizes, decorative finials and lines to put above, below or beside monograms and such, wording to accompany your designs and much, MUCH more! Want to know the best part? This stamp set alone paired with just a bit of cardstock and ink, can lead you to successfully creating dozens and dozens of VERY inexpensive gifts for the special people that you celebrate in your life. Think birthdays, weddings, teachers, co-workers or just because (or even a little something for yourself!!!). And because the set is SO customizable with all of the building elements, no two sets need to look alike! Onto the examples I have prepared for you today!
I have ALWAYS wanted my own special monogrammed notecards to sit on my desk. This stamp set gave me all the inspiration I needed to finally make something, just for me. My notecards are not folded, they are just single pieces of vintage cream cardstock cut down to 4.25 x 5.5 inches. They are the perfect thing to just grab and jot a note to a special friend. I built my entire finished image with several different elements pulled from the stamp set and assembled together on a single block. The monogram was created with two different alphabet sets. The large center “H” is from our new alphabet, Fresh. The smaller letters on either side (N & R) are from our existing Simple Alphabet. (There will be more details and descriptions provided about Fresh Alphabet later this week). The grouping was stamped with our ripe avocado ink.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
I needed a way to keep these notecards corralled on my desk and I decided that Lauren’s Desk Top Organizer printable template was just the ticket. For those of you that may be unfamiliar with this template, it prints right off of your home printer onto your 8.5 x 11 cardstock of choice. This particular template has just a few cuts and scores involved in the assembly. Ten minutes, tops! I decided to create mine from our classic kraft cardstock. I love what a rich warm color it is.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
I added just a few special details to my version of the organizer, which is one of the reasons why I love these templates so much! I don’t have to waste my precious creative time fiddling with measuring and developing my own packaging for things like this. I just click & print! Because that portion is so easy, I really feel like I have the time and energy to add a few little extra details to make it my own! Before I adhered the top of the end cap down, I added a strip of ripe avocado cardstock that I had trimmed with scalloped scissors along one side. I love the detail the visual interest this added.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
In addition, I also lined the inside (just the bottom and visible end) of my box with ripe avocado cardstock that I had stamped with Polka Dot Basics using vintage cream ink (love the coverage & vibrancy of that stuff!). I jotted down my measurements for the two pieces required for the lining, so you can just cut & go if you decide to recreate it yourself.
Box bottom lining:….. 5-15/16″ x 4-7/16″
End strip lining: ….. 4-7/16″ x 1″
………………………………………………………………………………………………
I also designed a band to go around the box that you could use if you were to give this desktop note set as a gift. I just LOVE the fonts that Candice picked out to use in this “Handmade Stationery” image. To me it looks like something you might find on the shelves of your favorite stationery boutique! It coordinates well with a 1″ circle punch. You’ll notice that the embellished circular border behind it uses the same decorative element that I used at the heading of my notecards. Candice did this with several of the image is this set, repeating design elements in different scales and formations to give you mix and match options along with lots of coordination possibilities.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
While creating this band, I discovered that a strip of 11″ cardstock is just a hair too short to do the job correctly.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
To help reinforce this area and give it more longevity, I adhered a second circle of cardstock to the back. It really polished it off and gave the band some much needed strength.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
I love how the whole thing turned out and I am looking forward to using it over the next few months! And if you are thinking about making these as gifts, talk about a VALUE! I cut an entire 12-sheet package of our vintage cream cardstock down into quarters (as described above), giving me 48 notecards. That stack nearly filled this organizer to the top, and with the cost of a 12-pack of cardstock being $3, it can’t possibly be much cheaper than that!
THRIFTY GIFTING COST BREAKDOWN:
12-pack vintage cream cardstock: $3
1 sheet ripe avocado cardstock: 20-cents
1 sheet kraft cardstock: 20-cents
TOTAL COST: $3.40
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Just to give you some additional inspiration in regards to what else you can create with the incredibly versatile Simply Stationery stamp set, I thought I would put another quick & easy, inexpensive ensemble together for you. This set actually uses our white pre-scored notecards. I love using these when I am making sets of white no layer cards because it saves SO much time. I just grab and stamp without having to do any of the cutting & scoring that is normally involved. The cards even come with matching envelopes that feature the elegant squared flap that we all like so much. Now back to the stamps! Notice the two different sizes of matching borders? One is perfectly scaled for notecard fronts, and the other works well for envelope flaps or labels. The extra line border can be added or left out (note that I used the double lined interior border on the notecard front, but omitted it on the envelope). I just LOVE that about this set.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
For my notecards, I used the new Labels 2 die collection from Spellbinders to emboss a beautiful frame detail on the covers. (It is a little hard to see here, but you can click on the photo to zoom in.) I used the embossing technique which I describe HERE. Essentially, you just run the die through with the embossing mat instead of doing any cutting. It adds some nice detail without much fuss. Leave the card open when you do this so you don’t emboss the front and the back of the card. I inked up two of the border images from Simply Stationery with black ink and stamped them inside the area I just embossed. My chosen monogram from Fresh Alphabet nestled perfectly inside.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Packaging once again is an important choice when presenting someone with such a lovely set of handmade monogrammed cards! This time I chose to work with Lauren’s All Boxed Up template. This is one of my FAVORITE templates that she has come up with to date! It is so quick and easy to put together and just makes for such a wonderful presentation!
………………………………………………………………………………………………
The front of the box is covered in one of the yummy patterns found in our NEW Black & White Basics paper collection (more info in post below). The upper portion of the front uses a scrap of true black cardstock that is embossed with the Swiss Dots embossing folder. The focal point uses the same Labels 2 die that was used on the cover of the notecards. The stamp images are also the same, but I punched the interior border & monogram out with a 1″ circle punch, layering it with a 1-1/8″ mat. Some black fabric-covered brads from Making Memories add a bit of texture.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
The inside of Lauren’s All Boxed Up template is really the crowning detail of this ensemble. The two pockets create the perfect nooks to hold 10 notecards on one side and 10 envelopes on the other. Remember how I mentioned the pre-scored card & envelope set earlier? The set includes 20 cards and 20 envelopes for $6. This means you can create TWO of these classy gift ensembles from just one set! That’s only $3 per set! Less than a Starbucks Cafe Mocha!
………………………………………………………………………………………………
I love the way that the ribbon closure keeps the whole set tied up in a nice neat little package. It looks fantastic sitting out on a desk or shelf. Really a class act.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
See that adorable bow detail. (You can see a little tutorial on how to make those HERE. Even though I used paper strips in the tutorial linked, you can use the same steps with real ribbon. Scor-tape works great as an adhesive for this!)
It is such an easy thing to do, but really brings about such an *Audrey Hepburn* kind of style to the whole piece.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
THRIFTY GIFTING COST BREAKDOWN:
(half of) Pre-scored notecard & envelope set: $3
2 sheets true black cardstock: 40-cents
1 sheet stamper’s select white cardstock: 15-cents
1 8×8 sheet patterned paper: 17-cents
2 yrds. ribbon: $1.20
TOTAL COST: $4.92
………………………………………………………………………………………………
And just because I knew some of you would ask, here is a visual representation of how some of the other monogram alphabets that we already carry will look with this new Simply Stationery set. Fresh Alphabet was designed specifically to coordinate with this set. But our others will work with most of the images as well.
………………………………………………………………………………………………

I love all of your stamps that you bring out. I think I have almost all
of them. What really sells me on stamps is what people make with them.
You can make something wonderful out of cardboard, I bet.
Once again you and your other designers have done it again and you have made the most beautiful projects.
Congratulations, Jo Ann! You’ve won the Simply Stationery Prize Package! Thanks to everyone for sharing your excitement with us and playing along!

Oh my gosh, I absolutely love this set! I was wanting to make homemade stationary for my friends and family for Christmas this year, but ran out of time. This set would have been perfect to help get me there! OH, well, there are always the birthday gifts of 2009 😉 !!
What a neat set. Love the economic gift ideas. Both samples are very elegant and doable.
WOW! I just discovered your blog and am hooked. Spent an hour wondering around and love your style! My goal this year is to make stationery gift sets for teachers and this would be perfect!
Love the classic look to the new stationary set and the black and white paper. Oh these would be great additions to my growing collection.
Love this set and I’m really excited about the Black and White paper. Love the paper designs.

oh! i am SO in love with the new designs! i love to create personalized stationary and nicole and her girls have made it even easier! 🙂
I have been dragging my feet and not buying stamp sets from other companies to make personalized stationary/notecards and now I know why. Good things come to those who wait. Now I can order from my #1 favorite stamping company–PTI. This set is absolutely fabulous and what you’ve created with it is stunning. I can’t wait to get busy and I’m excited that I already own the Trajan and Simple alphabets. Can’t wait to see what is else is being released. Love, love, love your blog, PTI, and your team of creative folks.
Wow. I am blown away by how creative you and your team are. I’m addicted to your website. I am inspired each time I visit!

I LOVE the new set. I have recently been inspired by stamping, and specifically using a monogram. Your blog gave me the ‘bug’. Thanks!!
I can tell that this release is going to be a budget buster. Love everything that you have shown so far. I don’t want to wish my life away, but it will be hard to wait until Jan. 15th. (feels like a kid waiting for Christmas)
Thanks.
Candice did a great job designing this set! I love it and the elegant stationery that can be made using it! A definite must have! Thanks for the chance to win!
I have done quite a few notecard sets as gifts with the border and corners monogram edition and the ambassador set. They have been very well received. Now that my son Owen is in school, I think that this set would make excellent teacher gifts. I can’t wait to see the whole set and everything else you have to offer this month 🙂
Love, love the monogram/stationary set!! How can you possible beat the price of creating such a beautiful, personalized gift! Love your projects today, as always!

I absolutely love the black and white stationery ensemble you did!! It is so classy and elegant, and I love the extra touches like the ribbon bows. This will be a very versatile set! The new black and white patterned paper is gorgeous and I really like the new alphabet too. I’m curious to see how these images fit with the images from Wedding Day; Boxes, Bags & Tags; and the Borders & Corners sets. 🙂
Beautiful! I love the black and white. The stationery projects are great! Good luck to all!

Love this preview — I’m so glad stampers are leading the way back to actually writing letters and notes instead of just using e-mail (although I admit I’m guilty of this too). Pretty stationary so inviting to remind us to take a minute and hand-write a note to someone. Thanks so much.
My jaw dropped when looking at your beautiful stationery sets. What an elegant way to create beautiful stationery and gifts. WOW! (I’d say that louder!)

I absolutely LOVE this set! It will make such great gifts. Wow!
Fantastic! (Though I am never disappointed with any of your creative ideas!) This is fabulous as I am a teacher and would love to make them not only for myself, but for my fellow teachers, and could help my little niece and nephew who are in elementary school make these for their teachers for the end of the school year. Fabulous girls – keep on inspiring us!
What a perfect set! I have always wanted to make personalized stationery but couldn’t because I didn’t have the right stamps and I didn’t want to wait weeks to receive an order from a local printer. This is perfect for my late night projects that I need to have completed by 8am the next day! I cannot WAIT to get this set!!!
Love the simplicity of the designs and the black and white look.
Excited, I am estatic! I sat in the scrapbook room last night trying to come up with something like this! Luck number 270 – not hardly!
Soooo gorgeous! I will definitely be trying to make some of these sets for gifts this year. That is after I get over being sick….I have been ill since Christmas day and finally made it to Dr to find out I have the start of pneumonia. Eep!
Wow! How elegant is this set??!! I love it! And you definitely can’t beat that value to make your own customized stationery that looks just as good, if not better that what you could order! And Lauren’s templates rock!!
Wow – you never cease to amaze me with the great projects you come up with. Absolutelty beautiful.
Absolutely wonderful! We’re getting ready for my son’s wedding (Jan 17) and this set will make thank you cards a breeze to make!
I love giving personalized gifts…and what could be more perfect. Your projects are breath-taking to say the least. Thanks for the inspiration.
I WANT IT! What a great gift idea! I can’t wait to get this set!
Steph
I love stationery and these sets are gorgeous. So elegant! Perfect for gifts! Thanks for a chance to win! 🙂
Thank you so much for such a beautiful set. I pray that more people will take time and write to love ones and friends. Written words in the hands are so much more personal than on a screen 🙂
I LOVE the black and white!! Can’t wait for this release!! Your example with Lauren’s all boxes up template is beautiful!

Caryl

Love the polka dot ribbon and the clean black and white scheme. These are really practical and classic.
Beautiful…elegeant…crisp…clean…I am so excited about this set and using them with Lauren’s templates. I have made several monogrammed stationary sets as gifts and they never looked as professional and gorgeous as these. I can’t wait to get these in my hot little hands!
I love the black and white paper and ribbon. The two different styles of stationery gifts are so elegant! Thanks for showing the cost breakdown. Knowing that it is affordable and elegant makes it even better.
Gorgeous set – a such a good value for making gifts! The black and white is also so classic and stunning.

Wow! A must have set including the paper!
Your examples were just exquisite.
Ok, I am a sucker for anything monogram. It is what brought me to Papertrey in the first place, Nichole had made a bracelet with the borders and corners monogram in place and white. So elegant and regal. Well here we are again, I am in love. Thank you so much for the great work.
Both of these are beautiful, Nichole!
Yippee! I love this set! And all of your samples are gorgeous!
Love it! I’ve seen other monogram sets, but none I thought I would actually use. Yours is definitely above and beyond. I would absolutely make beautiful cards with it.

Oh my gosh! I LOVE this set! I have always loved monogramed stationery sets, and I love circular designs, too. I think this set was designed JUST FOR ME. It’s pretty safe to say that if I don’t win this, I will definitely be buying it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Definitely a must have! Your examples are so inspiring … pick me! (I guess everyone else thinks this set is great, too. I’m having trouble Posting my comment!)

Fantastic! Who doesn’t love the clean crisp classic look of Black & White – and the stamp set is so versatile and elegant. Thanks for showing it with the different alphabets – each one offers a very special look!

This is just the set I have been waiting for, thank you Candice. I think it is so important to still write hand written notes and not just use the computer for everything. I plan to give a set of stationary to all my grandchildren to reinforce what I have been trying to teach them about hand written notes and thank yous. Can’t wait to get this.
Holy cow batman! I am so excited about this set. This is the p e r f e c t gift for my boss whose birthday is at the end of the month.

Oh, Nichole. It’s just unfair that you and Candice and Lauren have done this to me. That set is so beautiful and I LOVE sans serif fonts so I MUST have it all. And I will be breaking my New Year’s resolution to cut down on the craft spending. And here I made it all the way to Jan. 10 without spending a dime…my checkbook has just run from the room screaming…
Kristen 🙂
Oh My. Maybe my Christmas presents will be done early this year. kim

Beautiful. There are so many gifts I would love to give and these are perfect. Thanks
I’m in LOVE with this set! WOWZERS! How classy! And it really brings back the idea of sending a nice note out to people instead of the quick & easy (an often impersonal) email. BEAUTIFUL! And the Black & White collection…….
OMG! I loooove this! The projects are beautiful and I can’t wait to see what the rest of the week brings!
Oh…. My…. Goodness…. I know this set will be an absolute must have for me!!!!!!! I created a simple notecard using the Borders and Corners Monogram set with the Ambassador Monogram letters and I can’t tell you how many of these sets I have made for gifts. My SIL even ordered 25 sets of them for her clients (she’s a personal trainer). I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a beautiful and elegant set – can’t wait to have these. Definitely a must have!
Fabulous! I have the Ambassador Alphabet and now this stationery set is the perfect accompaniment to use with it. Very stylish.
Wow! I can totally get tons of use out of these sets!!! They are so elegant!

Absolutely beautiful! These new sets are right up my alley – classic and elegant with a modern twist. Well done…can’t wait to see everything on the 15th!
Can’t wait to get this set. And paired with the black and white it looks so elegant. of course, now I will need to purchase one of the alpha sets as well. But that just gets me closer to my free anniversary set.
You guys rock! I love all the great ideas and the great new sets!
Oh, I just love these ideas! And the best part is I can start creating now and have all of next year’s Christmas presents ready far in advance!! WOO HOO!! I love the black, too!!
I echo the definitely contagious! Love this with the same alphabet you used the best. Love the clean lines look!
Wow, my head is spinning full of ideas. I work in a school and am always looking for ways to make special gift for my staff! These new sets are going to be perfect!
I always look forward to the 10th of each month and seeing what the Papertrey Design Team has created for us. Once again your creative stamps and ideas have me brainstorming the unlimited possibilities of using these stamp sets. Thank you!
I love it and I totally want it…all! They are great. I love the idea of personalized, hand-made stationery. You can’t go wrong with hand-made (especially if it looks like yours!)
I am so excited about this set! It’s an absolute must have!!! I work in an office and so does my mom, and I’m always making note card sets, so this will be a perfect addition to my stamping.
Oh my wow! Talk about contagious. I feel like you just outdo yourself every month. I love the black and have always wanted the perfect black and this is it! I knew I had to be on a strict budget this month but now I have to have the stationary set!
YIPPEE! I am super excited about the black! That is beautiful stationary you created! If only I had 1/8th of your talent I would be so happy!
You bet I love the whole idea…just what I was looking for…you are always so inspiring to me in executing these “vague” ideas I have and can’t quite come up with the outcome…concept but no plan…thanks for the vision. Would love to work with these stamps…LOL…hint,hint.

OH mY GoSH!!! I am in love already! It matches beautifully with Lauren’s templates and I am excited for the black!
How beautiful! I always have the best of intentions and, as a result, tend to hoard stamps and paper. Once it’s time to sit down and create, I’m often overwhelmed. This set looks like it would allow even me to create something elegant and beautiful quickly and easily!
Such an elegant black-tie affair for this month!
How simple and classy this set is, a must have! Thanks

Love the versatility of a stationery-making set!
Very classy looking samples too. What a great, personalized gift – at an unbelievable low price.

This set is just stunning! When making card packs as gifts, it’s really tedious to have to come up with ways to complete the packaging in an elegant way. This set is so perfect!
Wow! The stationary set, the alphabet and the b/w paper look like they’re all going to be must-haves! I can see so much potential for all of these, and not just to make stationary! I can’t wait until release day!

This is an awesome set (and alphabet)! I’m mainly excited about the gift giving possibilities… people are always requesting hand made cards as gifts, and wouldn’t this be just the thing?
The new set will make such great gifts! I look forward to the 15th of the month to see what new designs you come up with…
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!
That black and white stationary set that you created is UNbelievable!!!
I would loooove to get my hands on this set! Winning it would be nice, otherwisee… I can’t WAIT for the release!
Wow… TFS!!!
I LOVE this!!! What an amazing gift idea!!! I could really see myself making these for birthdays for the women in my life (I guess I could make them for the men but I’m not sure any of them sit down to do any correspondence!) I LOVE the black and white polka dotted ribbon as well – that one’s going to have to go on an order right away!!! Can’t wait until the 15th!
Wow, these are just amazing!! I love that you broke down the prices and what great bargains they both were. I’m going to remember these for gifts because they are perfect!

Classy as always. You guys continue to blow me away. This is definitely going on my “to buy” list. (unless, of course, I win it!!)
Excited is an understatement! Love black and white and making stationary sets….what could be better? Such genius should be illegal. 🙂
We always had monogrammed stationary growing up. My Grandmother had it, my mother, then when she was remarried there was new monogrammed stationary. It was a rite of passage when I got my 1st monogrammed stationary! Now everyone emails or texts…I miss the written, personal notes. I would love to create this for myself and my daughter and teach her the art of letter writing!
Oh my! That is gorgeous and such an incredibly beautiful & easy gift idea! Love it! :o) Thanks for the cost breakdown too!
How could the excitement not be contagious?!?! Black?! Finally! I could not be more excited about this! 🙂 The stationary set will make fab, inexpensive gifts as you’ve already demonstrated. Thanks so much!
This is soooo cool! I’m spper excited about this elegant set! you do such a beautiful display!

Your projects are wonderful, as usual!

WOW so beautiful! My mother in law is a teacher and this set would be awesome to make som desk items for her. The stamp set looks so clean and classy. Love the black and white papers as well, have been waiting for something just like this.
OMG!!!!!!!!
I love EVERYTHING about this! The two dressed-up versions of Lauren’s templates ALONE are enough to get me excited, and they’re not even the new part! I recognize the Fresh alphabet as looking like the superb font you use in the Papertrey store and I can’t believe I could actually have it to stamp with! And I can see using those gorgeous elements from Candice’s set in so many ways, even beyond stationery!
What a great idea! I would make gifts for my family with the stationary stamps.

How could we not be inspired by all the beautiful projects you have presented to us. Just to have the ability to create our very own personalized writing papers, envelopes, etc. is just such a total treat I will look forward to 🙂
Wow! I love the idea of personalized stationery and am thinking that the “frames” might also be used as background stamps too! Paired with the classic black and white paper, so far, this is my favorite month of new releases since discovering PTI!
My jaw is on the floor wow this is so beautiful and classic and just pops OH I LOVE IT. Wow.. amazing projects INDEED!
Oh my gosh, I love what you have created, I do not own any of your stamp sets at the moment, I am in the UK so have to consider p&p also. I am definately going to be ordering soon but it is just so hard to choose which sets to go for first and you keep bringing more gorgeous ones out.
Thanks for the opportunity of winning.

What an awesome set. What cool gifts these would make! My sister is always complaining about how much the printer costs are for personalized stationary. These stamps are going to fly out of the store.
