One of my new favorite dies is the Blushing Flower Branch, No. 98980. Here's one set of notecards I made:
I inked up the Create Art stamp No. G1330 with Hero Arts Cornflower Blue and stamped the image directly onto a white notecard. I added a Blushing Flower Branch and some blue grosgrain ribbon. What a quick and easy card! So, of course, I made several. I like the way the branch just fits between the larger stamped words.
The other two cards I made use two branch cut-outs of the same die on each and a different background stamp:
For these I inked up the Vintage Dreams stamp No. G1838, stamped it on the white notecards, and then edged each one with the same ink using a sponge dauber. I really like the look of the two branches over the dream words. On one I added a bow, and on the other I stamped Makes Me Smile No. B1765.
The next time you make a card that is kind of quick and easy, think about making several. These might just be the perfect little gift for a friend!
Happy Crafting!
Great cards!

Anne,
Your cards are in my favorite color, so they are gorgeous. I love how you used the same elements to create two totally different looks. Great job.

Beautiful way to combine the stamping and dies!
