I shared a card on March 5th using a few products from the Parisian Blossoms Suite…

But this “Cherish” card shown above was actually inspired by the layout that I originally made with this card below.

Some of you may think you’ll use up your pretty papers too quickly if you cover the whole front of a card. But look how easy it is to make a pretty card without a lot of fuss. AND my guess is that those of you not using much designer paper also have quite a bit of pretty paper that you may NEVER use…piles of it? wink wink Designer paper is meant to be used and not hidden away and hoarded in our craft rooms.  So dig it out. And use this simple layout for inspiration to make cards that you can send off to your family and friends!

Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
