Subtle Elegance in Handmade Cards

When you focus on some simple stamping, just plain ink on paper, there is a Subtle Elegance in Handmade Cards. Sometimes the message inside your card is much more important than the card itself, and the outside needs to just be pleasant.

I will be showing the ladies in Cardmaking how to add onto the One Layer Card (OLC) with punches and die cut elements, but the first lesson is to just let go of adding more. This is one of the cards that I will be showing them in set of about 6 designs that can be made with white card stock (thick), one stamp set (First Frost), and some ink. I also love the Old Olive Linen Thread and may or may not be guilty of buying five at a time!

Are you ready to make some cards with Subtle Elegance?
