A Cute Little Crumb Cake Note Card

Today, I'm sharing the cute little note card that was one of our Make and Takes at my Open House / Catalog Party.  They really like it.  

I used Soft Suede Ink on the card design and the flowers were stamped and punched using our Blossom Bunch Punch, Watermelon Wonder CS and Whisper White CS.   

Adding a little strip of DSP can add so much to a card design.  I think the little scattering of 'speckles' adds a lot to the card.  I even added a few on the envelope, too.  

If you needed a quick bunch of cards or wanted to add a bunch to your 'stash' of cards, using a set of note cards and a simple, yet fun design, is the way to go.

One Design...2 Ways, Part Two

Here's the second version of my note card.  This one shows off a tiny sliver of DSP along one edge of the card.  It's amazing how much this tiny piece can change a card.  My Spring Open House guests will choose between this card and the one in my previous post for one of their projects.  I wonder which one they'll choose.

I made sure to place my stamping over enough so that I had the proper space to add the DSP strip.

It has a third flower on the inside of the card, the same as the first design.

It's always fun to add an envelope liner to coordinate with your card.  I use these framelits so often that I probably shouldn't even put them away:)

So..... speckles or a DSP strip... which version do you like the best?

One Design...2 Ways, Part One

Here's a sneak peek at a card I designed for my Spring Open House Party.  I actually ended up making 2 versions of this card.  My Spring Party Open House guests will have to choose which one they'd like to make at the party.

Have you ever made a card, stepped back and looked at it, didn't like it and just set it aside.  I did that recently, then went back... fixed it and now I like it a lot! 

At first, I thought it was too plain.  Then, I added some tiny speckles and now I really do like it.  Sometimes, just a tiny change like this one is all you need to take a card from blah to beautiful.

Our new Blossom Bunch Punch is fun and easy to use.  I saved one of the 3 flowers to use on the inside of my card.  The flowers on the front of the card are completely covered with Wink of Stella.  For the inside flower, I just added my Wink of Stella to the center of the flower.

Come back soon for a second version of this card.  I think you'll like it, too.

Positive/Negative Cards

Sometimes, in the midst of creating a card design, I take a look at the pieces laying alongside my work area and realize that they aren't scraps at all.  They are the beginnings of another card.  That's what happened with today's cards.

Like I've said, I love these new framelits!  As always, all the supplies are listed at the bottom of each post.
