I strive for simplicity in my cards but often find it to be a challenge. Why? For one….once I start the creating process for a card I have a hard time walking away and leaving it alone. I keep adding a little of this, a little of that…and then before you know it my simple idea…well it just isn’t that simple any more.  This card is everything I love about simplicity! It is not only simple but simply elegant….and I stopped adding to it just in time! The little ribbon tab and brad gives it that little something special to keep it from being plain, dull or looking  incomplete! I could make this card over and over and over again…something I don’t normally enjoy doing!…just because it is so pleasing to the eye!

Another good thing about this kind of card is you can change up the words and use it for all sorts of reasons…birthday, thinking of you, sympathy, just because, thank you, congratulations etc. It’s  great to have a few of these kinds of cards in your “save stash”! It’s quick and easy to remake for when you need a card in a hurry…yet it doesn’t  have that hurried I forgot to make you something look!
