Today I wanted to make a very simple card to show that you don’t have to purchase a whole bunch of products just to make a cute card. This card simply used paper, ink and a little ribbon, there were no dies or punches used, no fancy techniques just a paper trimmer and of course stamps.
Here is what I came up with…
The card base is Highland Heather cardstock that is
cut 5 ½ x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”. I cut
three pieces of Daffodil Delight Cardstock to 1 3/8 x 3 7/8” and three pieces
of the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper (DSP) to 1 ¼ x 3 ¾” and mounted the
DSP onto the Daffodil Delight. I added
each of the outside pieces on bringing them over ½” from the edge of the card
and then I simply centered the third piece in between those two.
I stamped my sentiment “A LITTLE hello FROM me to you” from the Pansy Patch stamp set, onto a piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock that measured ½ x 4” using Highland
Heather ink. I cut a little off the end
of the sentiment just to give it a little visual interest. On the left of the sentiment, I added a
simple bow that was created from the 3/8” Open Weave Soft Succulent Ribbon
using a Mini Glue Dot and then I popped the whole thing up on the card using.
For the inside and envelope, I wanted to continue to keep my design simple and easy so I stamped the flowers from the Quite Meadow stamp set onto a piece of 4 x 5 ¼” Basic White cardstock and onto the envelope using the Highland Heather ink we used for the sentiment.
I hope you enjoy this card it is certainly perfect for
using up small left-over pieces of Designer Series Paper and it is also perfect
for making large batches of cards as it is so simple to create. I certainly enjoyed making it for you. As always you can find the supplies to create
