Hi there! Today I’m sharing this super simple thank you card featuring some oldies but goodies. When I look back over my card making life my most favorite cards are always the simplest ones so that’s what I’m gonna try to do more of: clean, simple, color.
I used one of my favorites, but I can’t find it in the Simon Says Stamp shop anymore. It’s called Big Perfect Shapes, but you could easily just use any large solid shape that you might have. Doesn’t have to be a heart either.
I used Simon Says Stamp inks which gave a beautiful, vibrant color as well as a show stopping overlap. To me, the overlap is what life it all about. For the sentiment I embossed a simple thank you from CZ 30 Days of Thankful.
Here’s a video to show you how easy this card was to create.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day!

July 9, 2019 at 8:47 amI adore this simple card! I would love if you did a cheat sheet of rainbow colors for specific brands of ink and specific tones. Like SSS Jewel tones or Distress Bright colors. My color combos never look as good as yours, so I need a little bit of Laura in my craft room! š

I have a set of shapes similar to this but may be SSS will bring this one & the bigger set out again.x Thank you for sharing this video x
