One of my daughter's best friends moved to our street last summer from California. She's headed back to southern CA for most of the summer to visit family, and I know she and my daughter will miss playing together. So I decided to make a simple stationery set to help them keep in touch.
Using WPlus9's Sweets & Treats, I stamped the cupcakes in aqua, coral, and purple on flat notecards, rounding the corners to give them a polished look. The sentiments are from Paper Smooches' Chit Chat.

I came up with 5 simple designs and made 4 of each for a set of 20 cards.

Since the girls are only 7, I thought it would help to label the envelopes so they know where everything should go.

I bought sheets of blank address labels, printed the return address, and stamped each with a cupcake. I also included a sheet of postage stamps and a purple gel pen.

This turned out so cute, and now my daughter is asking for her own set. I have some ideas for making hers unique, so I'll be sure to share it when it's finished!
Thanks for visiting! Have a wonderful start to your weekend!

Cristina what a fabulous notecard set and the perfect idea for the girls to stay in touch. Love the colour choices too!
Christina,I love this set! What a sweet idea! Great idea to have everything marked on the envelope already. Kinda sad the girls won't get to play together all summer. Love the adorable cupcakes too!
What a lovely stationery set - no wonder your daughter wants a Christina Maclaren original. Wait till my 10 yo sees this. Wisteria Wonder is my nightmare colour, but in your hands, it looks stunning.
This is so adorable! I am sure you will be making lots of these sets...great birthday gift idea for parties too!
This is a super cute idea! Love it!
These are soo so cute Christina! What a lovely stationary set!
Christina I LOVE this!!!!! OMG. How cute is that!
I'm old school and always taught my daughter (and grandkids) to send thank-yous, notes, etc... in actual handwriting! LOVE LoVE love this for my grandkids. They are coming for a 3 week visit and I will have them help make it! They can write mom & dad.
I love it and thanks for sharing.
This is pure fabulousness! And now I am officially off to put this cupcake set in my cart and purchase it! lol! I want my own notecards...and I am not 7! :) Thanks for sharing!
Awesome! I'm sure the kids will love these!!!
Christina, this is just too darn cute! What a fun and clever idea too and I am sure your daughter and her sweet friend will have so much fun writing back and forth to each other. I passed on this set from WP9 and now I am seriously regretting it. thanks for the inspiration!
Adorable idea Christina and so cute I can see why your daughter would want her own set too. Love the idea of using the clear stamp box packaging as well, glad to be able to use a few of them!
Thanks,
Adorable gift idea! I'm sure the girls will miss each other and this will be a wonderful way to keep in touch. I agree with Diane about teaching kids the value of writing an actual note. This is a perfect idea!
I love this idea, Christina! So cute! I bet the girls have fun writing to each other. :-)
Little Girl? Heck! I want these too! Absolutely wonderful! Who doesn't love a cupcake?
Oh! This is so cute. I love it. And I guess it would be fun to write letters if you’re using adorable stationary paper like these. Thanks anyway for sharing this idea.
