SIMPLIFIED VERSION


A few weeks ago I posted a card made at an SU workshop using this basic design and the same colors.  I didn't have any of the Night of Navy ribbon which I used on that card so I just punched the edge of a piece of Night of Navy card stock and then trimmed down the width to make a nice border across the seam of the two papers.  I didn't add the little circle with the sentiment on it.  The card front may stay this way or depending on what occasion I need it for, I may add a small sentiment for a birthday or get well.
Here is a second card I made now using a different color combination and using a satin ribbon  which I had in my supplies.  At the bottom of the post you can see a picture of the card made at the workshop.
 
The stamp is SU Pleasant Poppies.
 

The demonstrator at the workshop had cut the one piece stamp apart into two designs. I liked the idea so cut mine apart as well. (Just be careful if you decide to do the same to yours. I almost cut into the design on the rubber side because I was using the sticker side of the stamp to use as a guide it it wasn't lined up perfectly. Close call but it is fine.)   Thank you for stopping by!

Happy New Year!

My card was modeled after one I saw on Pinterest.  That card used a die with larger trees.  This die is from Penny Black.  I liked the large...
