Make an easy celebration card for someone very quickly with this basic card design! It’s always simple to make a card with a card base, a layer and a greeting and from there you can embellish a little bit or a lot depending on your style and the occasion for the card!
This card starts with a Lemon Lime Twist card base. What will we do without Lemon Lime Twist when this In Color retires?! If you want any of the 2017-2019 In Colors – ink, refills, cardstock, papers, embellishments – be sure you get them before they retire on June 3, 2019.
I chose the Broadway Bound Specialty Designer Series Paper for this card. I like this balloon pattern because it can be for any happy occasion! This card could be for a birthday, graduation, or simply any congratulatory note. This package of paper has a party design on one side and gold foil designs on the other so you can be as festive as you like!
To set off the designer paper from the Lemon Lime Twist card base, I added a layer of Lovely Lipstick, one of the current In Colors that are sticking around another year. And since I had this narrow Lovely Lipstick 1/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon I added that for some embellishment.
The greeting is from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous Stamp Set. It is stamped in Lovely Lipstick and die cut with an oval die, layered on a scalloped oval die, both from the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies.
Here are three cards I made with the Broadway Bound Paper that might give you some other ideas!
Whether you use this paper or some other designer paper, you can use this card layout and design for either a simple card or as a base for something fancier.
