The simplest layout can be the most appealing. As the familiar adage states, "Less is more." Thoughts?

Cheery Chat

I apologize for not remembering the name of the large floral embellishment, but I do know that it is no longer available for purchase. So, use whatever is in your embellishment pile. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Cheery Chat

Paper:

   Rich Razzleberry A-2

   Blushing Bride 5 x 4-1/8

   Dainty Flowers DSP 4-7/8 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Rich Razzleberry

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Stamp-a-ma-jig/MISTI 

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Floral Rhinestone Embellishment

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I cut the wreath from the Dainty Flowers DSP.

Since my stamp set is set in wood, I then used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the sentiment in the center of the wreath. As you can see, the sentiment barely fit in the wreath, so exact placement was a necessity. 

Next, I attached the Dainty Flowers DSP panel onto a Blushing Bride matte and then onto the Rich Razzleberry card front.

Lastly, I added an embellishment at the foot of my sentiment and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Figure-Outable

There are times when I finish a card and wonder: Did I add too many elements to the card front? Did I not add enough bling? Is the card too busy, boring, or just plain? What do you do? 

Stamps:

   Lighthearted Lines

Paper:

   Basic White A-2, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Paper Blooms DSP 3/4 x 4 (2)

   Petal Pink 4-3/4 x 1-1/8 

   1/8 or 1/4" Circle 

Ink:

   Night of Navy 

   Soft Sea Foam

   Petal Pink

   Seaside Spray

Accessories:

   Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins

   Glue Dots

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I dry embossed a Basic White card front, using the Joined Together 3D Embossing Folder.

I then took the Soft Sea Foam ink pad and gently rubbed the left side of the embossed image.

Next, I used the Seaside Spray ink pad on the middle section of the embossed image. You must use a gentle touch.

I then took the Petal Pink ink pad and gently ran it down on the right side of the embossed image.

Next, I adhered two strips of Paper Blooms DSP and adhered them on the left side of the card front. I used patterned paper, but you can turn these into solid strips of paper if you think the card front is too busy.

I then stamped a sentiment on the Petal Pink strip, using Night of Navy ink. 

Next, I snipped the end to form the pointy arrow as shown above.

I then attached the sentiment to the card front, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a few wooden elements (2 Circles and a directional arrow), a glitter sequins, and a Basic White panel to the card front.

Blue Ribbon

Using Ephemera Packs is the most difficult way for me to create a card or project of any kind. Prefabricated images, sentiments, or die cuts are difficult for me to piece together. Having an open "canvas" with coordinating products is best for me. What about you? 

Stamps:

   None

Paper:

   Calming Creek Cards & Envelopes

   Basic Black Scrap

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   None

Technique:

   CAS

   Ephemera Packs

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Perfectly Pears Dies

   Saying Something Ephemera Pack

   Something for Everything Ephemera Pack

   Colored Dots by Crafter's Square

   Glue Dots

   Fine Tip Glue Pen

   Adhesive

First, I went through the Saying Something Ephemera Pack and chose a sentiment: Congrats.

I then grabbed two cards & envelopes from the Calming Creek Cards & Envelopes.

Next, I went through the Something for Everything Ephemera Pack and chose a ribbon and banner.

I placed these elements on the card front and decided to add a mesh under the ribbon to help it stand out a bit more. So, I die cut the Basic Black mesh, using the Perfectly Pears Dies. 

Next, I adhered all of these pieces onto the card front, using the Fine Tip Glue Pen for the sentiment, glue dots for the mesh and the ribbon, and finally adhesive for the banner.

Lastly, I added a few colored dots by Crafter's Square and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
