When Less is More November 15, 2009

Filed under: Cards — ashleyfaus @ 12:36 am

I’ve been in a card-making mood lately, so I had to post some of my latest creations. These cards are super simple, but they turned out super sweet! Sometimes, less is more, so let’s celebrate the simplicity of these cards.

I made this as a “Thank You” card for our coreographer during “Cinderella”. The shoe sticker was left over from a pack of wedding stickers, and it was the perfect color for this card base. I put the shoe on dimensionals to give it some depth, and simply stamped the words onto white cardstock. I think the sentiment encompasses the show and the coreographer’s role in making it all come together. So, “If the slipper fits!”

This card was made for the director of the show. The inside says that she made the magic happen. I wanted some easy “magic”, so I used an oval cut-out to showcase the silver sparkly letters on the inside of the card. I added the paper flowers to dress it up a little, but the peek-a-boo feature is so fun.

This sentiment was too perfect to pass up for the stage manager in “Cinderella”. It reads, “There can only be one Queen, and I’m it!” I used some circles and embellishments to add a little punch to the front of the card, but I wanted to let it speak for itself :)

I love fancy cards, but sometimes it’s nice to make a simple, catchy card. These are incredibly easy to make, so “normal” people don’t feel so intimidated by them. Do you have any “less is more” cards to share? Let me know!
