Simplicity is the key with Handmade Cards
My blog today is to share my handmade card with you – Simplicity is the key with Handmade Cards. Using basic tools and panels to make up beautiful layers in this easy simple layout.
The Thoughtful Expressions Stamp Set stamped in neutral colours compliments both the Country Woods DSP I chose, and the Basic Beige Cardstock. I also used the Dotted Circle 3D embossing folder (the large sized ones) in this design.

Stamp Set used with this project is the lovely Thoughtful Expressions – I also incorporated some of our lovely Country Woods Designer Series Paper.

1. Cardstock (Basic White, Basic Beige)
2. Thoughtful Expressions Stamp Set.
