Spring Is Everywhere

This week the Friendly Gnomes stampset is featured on my blog. The Class To Go features clean card designs that are easily adapted to most images and patterned papers.

Template 23004

Today’s card design, Template 23004, is a clean, simple, quick and easy design that can be adapted to most images and patterned paper.

To keep this simple and quick I chose to layer the DSP on top of a Basic White layer instead of having a piece of DSP and a piece of Basic White to be aligned with each other while providing an even mat on the Night of Navy layer. My way uses a little more Basic White cardstock but is faster and easier to put together. You simply adhere the DSP flush to the top and left and right sides of the card stock.

I decorated the inside of the card and the envelope to add a little extra love. It feels very finished and intentional when I take the time to do that. What do you think? Do you leave the insides naked? What about the envelope?

This quick and easy design is template 23004. Access the FREE PDF tutorial here.
