A Simple Layout, Twice as Nice

I was playing with the Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper to make a simple-and-sweet card. When I couldn’t decide which lovely patterns to showcase, I decided to just make two cards. What a great solution for a tricky dilemma!Here’s the card I made to share with you today:And here’s the second card I made with the same layout and the same papers:Here’s a look at the patterns and colors in the Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper, which includes three sheets each of four double-sided designs:I showcased two designs from the Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper on each of the cards, creating a clean and balanced look with just enough contrast to keep things interesting:

• the largest panel measures 3-3/4″ x 5″
• the smaller panel, aligned to the left side of the larger panel, measures 2-3/4″ x 5″

The sentiments on these cards are stamped and cropped with the Forever Florals Bundle, a recent Online Exclusives product. It’s quickly become a favorite – those elegant sentiments and coordinating frame dies make it so easy to create polished focal points.I wrapped a strand of 3/8″ Faux Linen Ribbon behind the sentiment for a little added texture and finished each card with a trio of 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls for just the right touch of shine.And how gorgeous are these sentiments and coordinating frame dies?!

Last Thoughts

Sometimes the hardest part of creating is simply choosing where to start – or in this case, which pattern to use! By sticking with a simple layout and letting the paper take center stage, it’s easy to create multiple cards that each feel fresh and unique. If you ever find yourself stuck between options, take it as an opportunity to create more instead of less – you might just love every result.
