So this week has chewed me up and spit me out, and I just don't have the mental or emotional energy to write about it, so I'm going to do a card parade!! I've been making a lot of cards for From Our Hearts these last weeks, and I wanted to show a few as they are super simple designs that are easy to replicate, but still look nice. See you next week for real quick takes (at least, I hope...)
--1--
I mostly tried to let the designer series paper guide my designs, and let the pattern of the paper shine.
--2--
I also tried to be efficient about using up the scraps.
--3--
I pulled out sets I'd never used, or only used once or twice and made sure to incorporate them!
--4--
I tried to keep the designs very simple and easy to reproduce.
--5--
Sometimes, the best way to let the paper shine was to use a simple sentiment on a paper flag with a small embellishment. Easy and elegant!
--6--
I'm really digging all the framelits this year!! I hardly make a card anymore without pulling them out. I especially like the windows framelits and the apothecary accents (as you can see...) And while I didn't think I'd love the coordinating framelit/stamp bundles, I'm actually finding them pretty nifty.

Although this little image (Friendship, yes please) had to be cut out by hand. Since I only had a few cards that used it, it wasn't a big deal!
Go see Jen for more Quick Takes!
