A simple card can still make a big impact 💙 For t A simple card can still make a big impact 💙

For this card, I used the Hello Friend Clear Stamp & Die Bundle from @heroarts to create a clean and cheerful design that's perfect for sending a little happy mail. The bold navy sentiment takes centre stage, while the scattered florals add just the right amount of colour and whimsy.

I finished it off with a simple twine bow for a touch of texture. Sometimes the simplest designs are the ones I love most!

Do you prefer clean and simple cards or do you like to add lots of layers and embellishments?
