It’s always nice to have a go-to layout you can pull out when you want to make a card but don’t want to overthink it. This is one of those designs—quick, simple, and perfect for using what you already have on hand. One simple layout, a little Designer Series Paper, and just enough to make each card feel special!
And it certainly shows that you don’t need much to make something beautiful. I love that this layout uses just a piece of Designer Series Paper, a basic shape, and a sentiment to pull everything together.
Let’s start with the basic layout.
This card features the Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper.
Notice how when you change the paper, you change the personality of the card.
This card features a different paper from the same Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper pack.
This is also a great layout when you want to make several cards at once. You can keep the design the same and simply switch out your papers, colors, and sentiments to create a variety of cards for different occasions. It’s minimal supplies, minimal effort, and maximum versatility.
Here’s the card template:
- Score a 4-1/4” x 11” card base in half and fold.
- Adhere a 4” x 5-1/4” mat layer on the card front.
- Flag cut/banner cut the ends of a 2” x 5” DSP piece. Adhere on the card front.
- Adhere your accent piece on the card front using dimensionals. Adhere the sentiment piece.
Here are more card variations using this layout.
If you love dainty florals and pastels, you will love the Bloom Boutique Designer Series Paper.
