Hi there! Today I’m sharing a few super simple graphic projects that use very limited supplies. You probably have everything you need to make these today!
I was inspired by some beautiful art that I’ve seen by Andy Westface and others on Pinterest HERE and HERE.
I created circle masks using the Nested Circle dies and blended the color using Altenew inks.
For the mountains I simply masked off the angles using post-it tape.
For the sentiments I trimmed some of the Sentiment Strips-All Things Happy.
For the card below I embossed a sentiment from the CZ Simple Sentiments No. 1 set.
Here’s a video to show you how I created these cards.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

March 29, 2020 at 8:19 pmI’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it. When it comes to designs, you are D’Bomb!!!!!! These are so neat looking. Thanks for giving us the idea. I’d say a chocolate chip cookie was well deserved after this:)

March 29, 2020 at 8:44 pmYou always brighten my day! I love these cards and I think I have everything I need to try this, although I’ll have to get creative with ink colors (maybe rainbow colors {can’t believe you didn’t suggest this!). My favorite is the first one with the small circles at opposite ends.

March 29, 2020 at 11:13 pmSo inspiring! Thank you for a one layer card idea. Must try this idea tomorrow.
I like to weigh out my ingredients for cookies etc with a bonus of no dirty measuring cups. The OXO scale is my favorite and I keep a list of dry ingredient weights posted on the inside of my cabinet door. Good for your daughter to try baking!

March 30, 2020 at 12:20 amLove these, Laura! I have everything in need to try this…the video is such a help. Working from home gives me more crafting time–Yay! Stay safe and healthy and enjoy the cookies. Thanks for the inspiration.

March 30, 2020 at 12:34 amThis just tickled my fancy and made me giddy, too! But I’d still like a chocolate chip cookie! These cards are just too cool for school! I was afraid there wasn’t going to be a video and I just wasn’t quite following the script, but, alas! A video, not just educational, but so entertaining! I wanna be your friend and hang out with you! God bless you for all the smiles you bring! Thank you!

March 31, 2020 at 12:26 amFANTISTIC! I have been eyeing graphic designs ever since you had shown one on IG inspired by, I believe, johal_geometrics. Thanks for taking some of the mystery out of creating these awesome graphics! I also just love listening to your voice overs…gives me a sense of calm…go with the flow!

April 1, 2020 at 1:21 amWhat a fun idea – and nothing better than a Laura B video during the Great Hunkering Down of 2020. Listening to you chatter away about your anticipated puffy chocolate chip cookie is like having a cup of coffee with a dear friend. We love you, Laura! Thanks for the giggle AND inspiration today!

April 1, 2020 at 9:01 pmOh my heck, you’re a genius! When I was scrolling down your page I think I squealed a little when I saw you made a video tutorial. I love your videos, you always crack me up! Hope you enjoyed your cookie, except now I really want chocolate chip cookies and I actually think I have the ingredients in my quarantine kitchen too!

December 13, 2020 at 10:53 pmThese cards tickle my fancy, I’ll tell you that! How I missed this video, I do not know. Maybe I was not subscribed yet back in March? Thanks for this. You asked which one we liked best. I liked the one that was circular in nature, not the one w/ the triangles (of course, I DO like the one w/ the triangles, but I just like the all-circular one MORE). I like the circular one w/ the concentration of color on one side and then the other, not the one that has all the deep colors concentrated on the right.
They’re all nice and I am surely going to use this method. The cards look so cool!
