Do you struggle with card layouts? I know that I do. But, this card layout is a “keeper.” It is a simple card layout that can be used with any stamp of die set. Hard to believe? Not really. In the video below, I will show you how to make a card using this layout with Stampin’ Up!’s Gorgeous Leaves Stamp Set and Blackberry Beauty DSP. I will, also, demonstrate using a dauber to introduce the changing color of the leaves. Afterwards, I will show you three more unique cards, all using a different stamp or die sets. Afterwards, leave me a comment and let me know which card you like best or what stamp set you would use to make this card!
