I just love this trendy stationery from Kate Spade! There are just so many things I am inspired about here!
- Create a bold border around postcard-style stationery using the chisel tip of a marker.
- Gold embossed polka dots! Need I say more?
- Allow a simple sentiment take center stage when gold embossed onto a crisp white card.
- Keep your color scheme simple with white and a splash of something bold, like Raspberry Fizz.
- Don't forget your envelopes! Create a fun and festive envelope liner for your card.
I am sure that many of you will come up with even more ideas! Take a piece of this inspiration (or others you have discovered), and create something fabulous! We look forward to seeing all of your creations!

Kristie H kept things clean and simple her gold embossed creation! I love how the detail of this frame pops with the embossing and the scored border she created was the perfect finishing touch!
