Happy Friday! Are you planning some crafting time this weekend? Many of you should have new goodies to play with from the latest release! If you’re in need of a little inspiration to get you going, Laurie is here today with some pretty cards done in her classic clean and simple style. She’s here to tell us all about them…
Hello Greetery friends! It’s Laurie here today with a couple of quick and easy cards! I adore the Greetery’s classic style because it lends so well to my clean and simple style. First up this card using one of my new favorite sets, Sketchbook roses. I stamped a white panel in black using the large image from the set and then cut it down to fit offset on the pale pink card front.

I added 2 little pieces of gold washi to the card base and then used a layer of fun foam to pop up the floral panel. I stamped the sentiment in the top corner and finished it off by adding a couple black sequins.
Another favorite from one of the first few Greetery Releases is called Simple Things. I love the eucalyptus images in this set and how they can add so much elegance and simplicity to a bright white card base.

I stamped the images in layers. I added the light blue and then stamped in a white ink over the top. Then I stamped the 2nd layer of dark blue with another layer of white ink, just to mute the images slightly. Last, I stamped in the branch image in a dark brown. To give the card just a little shine, I added the sentiment in with heat embossing, using a gold powder. To continue with the clean look but to give the card just a little more detail, I added in a ½” scored frame around the front.
So pretty and classic, aren’t they? Laurie does such a great job of creating simple and beautiful projects with the best little details, like that gold washi or the embossed frame border. I hope these pretty projects inspired you to pull out these sets soon!
TGIF & have a great weekend!
