Good morning, friends!! I've got a bit more card inspo to share with you today, and I hope this gives you just a few more ideas for some things you can do with these new goodies releasing today at 10am EDT at The Greetery!
I kept it nice and simple today, to show you just how quickly you can whip up some beautiful cards (or even a PILE of them!), so that you've got cards on hand whenever you need them!
PRO TIP: Today's cards make for really great mass-production cards! Not a ton of steps, so you can knock out a lot in a short amount of time!
To create the background panel on this one, I used the large floral cluster from Floral Delicacy and just stamped one at the top and one at the bottom.
PRO TIP: Be sure to turn one of them upside down so that the two clusters mirror each other!
Top it with any of the Everyday Labels sentiments!
PRO TIP: You could make a set of these cards, all with the exact same background and label color, but with a different sentiment label on each! Easy to mass produce a set quickly, all coordinated, and gives the recipient lots of different occasion options to use them! Each card in your set doesn't have to be different! No need to reinvent the wheel if you're short on time!

So for this one, I stamped the largest leaf image from the Floral Delicacy cluster, repeatedly around the outside edge of the card front, just using the same color ink. The monochromatic effect just gives it a bit of additional interest, and the curved lines on the leaves add a bit of softness to an otherwise really linear card.
Then, on that pink background, I ran the card stock through the Vagabond with the new Deco Triangles Hot Foil Plate and my rubber embossing mats. I love how detailed this impression is! Rather than using it for a letterpress technique and the card stock being flipped over so that the pattern is debossed, I love this really raised, embossed side!
PRO TIP: You might need to play with your sandwich to get it thicker or less thick, depending on the look you're going for. The watercolor card set I showed you yesterday, where I achieved a bit of debossing on the watercolor note cards, had a less thick sandwich and thicker card stock, and therefore the impression wasn't as deep. For this look, my sandwich was a bit thicker and the card stock not so thick, and therefore, the impression is much deeper. For me, it was just a matter of swapping out the wafer thin die adapter plate for a cutting plate in the sandwiches, to get the different thicknesses. But you could add a shim of card stock as needed to get the desired effect.
I used one of the Deco Note Card layer dies, for the mustard layer, and topped it with an Everyday Label to finish it off. So simple!
