I'm always trying to find ways to "spice up" a one layer card. As much as I like to add buttons, ribbon or brads, I find that sometimes those items keep me from mailing a card. A nice, flat one layer is easy and only requires one stamp! For this card I used the Cuppie Love Scenes set from Taylored Expressions. To "spice it up", I used the Large Labels Nestabilities die to create an embossed border around the image. I used a border punch to add a little border along the bottom of the card. To add some simple color, I paper pieced the balloon using coordinating patterns of paper. What kinds of things do you do to "spice up" your one layer card?
Thanks for stopping by today! Have a great day!

I love how this turned out. The embossed area around the image looks so elegant. I don't have a die cut machine to help me do this, but I am shopping around for a cuttlebug. One day though...=)A girl can dream right.
