Trio of Simple Thanks

Published by notimetostamp at 9:20 pm under General Purpose Cards

Today I combined 2 challenges to create this trio of simple thank you cards. The colors of So Saffron, Bravo Burgundy and Handsome Hunter were taken from today’s Color Challengeat SCS, and my basic layout was taken from my good friend, Barb Schram, who was the Featured Stamperon Sunday over at SCS. Barb’s Blog can be seen here. Here are my cards:

I knew I wanted to do something quick and simple for thank you notes, and I was so pleased to find this simple and lovely card in Barb’s gallery. Now Barb went to a lot more work with her card in cutting out her little man, whereas I used a Labels One Nestabilities by Spellbinders to quickly cut and emboss my Thank You sentiment. I also corner rounded the bottoms.

    So simple, yet so lovely! I was just laying in bed last night thinking of a similar sketch for a fast thank you! So nice to see what you’ve designed!

    I love these cards, Sharon! The paper is just wonderful and could be either masculine or feminine. The label die and the rounded bottom corners really add to the design. They don’t give the impression of being plain or simple at all!
