On to my card for today – this one is a clean and simple card. I used a few things from the Paper Pumpkin kit along with a few supplies from my craft room.
I decided to use one of the little envelopes as “paper” and die cut it with the Stitched Shapes Framelits using the largest of the circle dies. You could cut 4 circles from each envelope. And probably get two more if you didn’t cut full circles or moved to the one size smaller in the set. I cut full circles because originally I thought I was going to use the full circle but ended up just using a portion of it. And if you don’t have the Stitched Shapes or other Circle dies, use a punch.
I glued my circle onto a layer of Very Vanilla card stock (mine is 5″ x 3-3/4″). I added that onto a Soft Suede card base (11″ x 4-1/4″, score at 5-1/2″). I stamped the greeting on my card using the Soft Suede ink – you could pick which ever greeting you want. Then use 24″ piece of the gold twine and tie it around the front of the card and tie in a little bow.
To finish I took three of the vanilla flowers from the kit and stamped the centers and then added a pearl. Each one is on the circle with a dimensional.
I think it turned out to be a nice elegant card – it could be a wedding card even – it is wedding season now.
If you live local to me join me for some stamping this week – Friday 5/26 – Card Makers Class and next week Wednesday 5/31 for Paper Pumpkin Craft Night. You can find details and RSVP on my website HERE.

Thanks for visiting.
My goodness – it never even crossed my mind to pull those flowers out and do a card. Genius.
Thanks Cathy. It’s really a simple card. I was worried it wasn’t really anything special as far as alternate ideas go.
This simple layout is perfect for note cards. LOVE your alternative idea. TFS!
It was funny how the layout came about – when i cut my envelope from the front the back layer was a partial circle and that’s what I ended up using.
What a beautiful clean and simple card Monika!
I totally love how you used the bag with your framelits! Your creation has such a contemporary feel! It totally shows the diversity of the supplies! ?
I agree, this beautiful card would be perfect for a wedding. So simple yet so elegant! Thanks for sharing 🙂
This idea can be used for a multiple of occasions and events – so pretty!
Monika, I love it! Super Clean and Simple card and the addition of the flowers is just perfect!
Such a great card, Monica! I love it!
So simple and classy. I love it.
