I had an idea pop in my head yesterday to make some cards like this.. all this while listening to Alan Jackson on my Kindle and waiting for my son after his golf practice.. I came right home and made one right away so I wouldn't forget. After dinner I made a bunch more..
This is a great way to use up some of your 6 x 6 paper pads. *Measurements are below.
these are two of the samples.. At first I was stamping the sentiment at the top.. but then after stamping a bunch realized I wanted some brads on it (the brads in the lower right corner were an afterthought because I thought it looked plain).. so I changed the stamping so I could put the brads in the upper right corner.
For the flowers.. I just inked up the flower and stamped the flower that is kinda in the center.. then stamped around it and down the sides a little.. or up the sides like I did on the first ones.. they will overlap some, all good. I also just stamped some parts of the petals to fill in blank space around the sides.
Then this morning I made 6 more..but on these the only stamping is the sentiment...

I have a brand new 8x8 pack, that will work as well..I like these cards.Thank you for the measurements and photos.
Thanks for the measurements! These are great! :)
These are really nice Pam and I can truly appreciate seeing a nice card design that doesn't require coloring or tons of stamping as I go through periods where I just want to keep it simple but still want a nice result.
Those brads really do put the finishing touches on your cards. And I love those yellow flowers.
You've inspired me yet again-and I so appreciate the measurements. Thanks!
This is one of my fave paper collections that I've been hoarding but am now inspired to use! I will definitely be CASE'ing another of your beautiful designs on this one. Thanks for always providing measurements on the cards you post - at least you always do for the ones I want to CASE! :-)
I CASE many of your designs because they are crisp and clean - just my style!
Classy!!!
Love this idea! I've been going through a 'dry spell' lately and these cards are just what I needed for inspiration. THANK YOU!!!
