Easy Handmade Card Layout with the Simply Said Stamp Set and Garden Poetry Designer Series Paper

Easy layouts are undoubtedly the quickest and most efficient way to create beautiful handmade cards, particularly when you're in the process of making multiple cards for various occasions. These straightforward designs allow you to focus on the creative aspects without getting bogged down by intricate details. This is especially beneficial for events like birthdays, holidays, or thank-you notes, where you may need to send out several cards at once!

Project Details & Inspiration

To make this card, we started with a Berry Burst Cardstock base. Then we adhered a layer of Basic White Cardstock and a strip of Garden Poetry Designer Series Paper. Over that, we added a mat of Berry Burst Cardstock and another piece of Garden Poetry Designer Series Paper. For the sentiment, we die cut a circle from the Spotlight on Nature Dies and stamped the sentiment on Basic White Cardstock with Blackberry Bliss ink before die cutting that with the Stylish Shapes Dies. We finished the card off with three Garden Epoxy Dots in the bottom right corner!

Supplies Used on This Project

We used a mix of classic Stampin’ Up! favorites and a few fun new releases to bring this project to life. From richly colored inks to perfectly coordinated paper and embellishments, every product helps you create professional-looking results with ease.
