Here is another card we are making this month for the wonderful and brave Cancer patients that are going through treatment! I know at first glance it seems rather…"plain Jane" but this is a keeper design and I know the patients will have an instant smile on their face when they receive it!

When designing cards for these volunteers to make, I have to keep them simple and duplicatable as we make 14 of each design that I create! Many of the people that come to assembling these beautiful cards…do not have a clue as what to do…but one thing they ALL have is a beautiful heart that wants to give to others!

Many times you here me say that finding a style that you are comfortable with…then changing up the paper,sentiments and embellishments – can end you up with a total new look – well this is one card that is that!

Please try this and then keep in for the future when your brain is simply not in a "creative mode" and then use this layout….PRESTO – you'll feel great about yourself and you will have a beautiful card!

Please email me or leave me a comment and let me know how you like it….it is soooooo simple – a definite keeper! Also, please share my blog with your family and friends and encourage them to subscribe to it so they can have a cup of coffee in the morning with me and I can let some "feel goods" and "inspiration" in them to start their day!

Here you go…..

• Base is an A-2 card in Melon Mambo

• The panels are from the super new and super cute Gingham Garden Designer Paper and they are cut into 1 1/2" X 3 3/4" strips.

• I matted them in Pear Pizzazz just 1/8" larger than the print paper…adhere them together in the adhesive of your choice -  I used the Tombo Multi Purpose Glue as it is FAST!

• TIP: ( I know…I get a bit too picky but it is so easy and quick to do), I draw a pencil line down the center of my card to place the middle panel to make sure it is centered and then I work from side to side!)

• The sentiment is from the Feels Good Stamp Set and it was placed on a 3" X 2 3/4" rectangle. Because I have had to cut out 16 of these…I did use the Stamp-a-ma-jig for placement

• Using a sponge…I lightly sponged the edges to soften up the starkness of the white and then placed it on a piece of Pear Pizzazz just 1/8" bigger!

• POP goes this piece with Stampin Dimensionals to give it the lift it needs!

• Still needed a bit of fun to soften the white….out came buttons from the Brights Collection and I adhered them with a Glue Dot!

• The liner was the finale and the look it gives is perfect!

I hope that you are lovin' the new catalog! Please click here and shop away! There are so many fun and exciting items! I just can't wait to get my order!

Please keep this "keeper" card in your "go to's" in a rush…a perfect, fun and crisp look that we certainly bring a smile to your face as it is going to give to those that we are making them for tomorrow evening!

Have a wonderful day and until tomorrow…….
