Handmade Stationary

Just before the holidays, I shared last year's DIY Christmas gift, homemade coasters.  Since I didn't want to give away any surprises, I had to postpone sharing about some handmade presents this year.  This year, I chose to make stationary. 

Here are the supplies:  Stamps, Blank Cards and Envelopes, and Ink.

So I'll be honest, the hardest part of this project was picking out the stamps.  As you can tell, I chose a set of owls (the recipients like owls), the adorable walking bird (my favorite), some cute fish, and for my crafty friend - a knitting sheep. (Seriously, how cute is that one?)
 
Once you have all the materials out, just stamp as you like.  Make sure to not cover where the address/return labels would go, and leave space to write on the inside of the cards.  Mix colors, mix stamp sets, have fun with it.
