Basic Cards with Stampin' Up

 Sometimes starting a new hobby seems daunting when you look at how others thrive at it.  But don't let that stop you from being part of the community of card makers!  Making a card is a past time, a hobby that is enjoyable.  Whether you are a master artist or a lover of color or simple art, cardmaking is for you.

Here are three cards that demonstrate how simple yet beautiful a card is.  

The first card (top left) has a tag with background stamp, sentiment and twine.  The texture of the basic white cardstock sold by Stampin' Up is quite smooth.  You could assemble this card in a short time, have several on hand, and be prepared to send a note of encouragement or a "hello" at any time.

The second card (top right) has a colored base card, and texture is added by the use of an embossing folder. The same tag is used with the same sentiment, though a piece of ribbon replaces the twine.  

The third card's design includes more components: a stamped image in coordinating colors, two colors of twine resulting in more texture. The tag is punched with a tag punch and popped up with dimensionals.
