Easy Card Idea With Sharing Sunshine Meeting Happy & Heartfelt

Happy Friday Friends! Here's the last of the three card occasions I am sharing this week. (Baby, St. Patrick's Day/Friendship and Encouragement/Cheer.) I hope I've excited you to give these simple card layouts a try.

The Sharing Sunshine stamp set is so fun and really easy to use. The best tip I can give on the first card is with the sun rays. I stamped Daffodil Delight ink first on a piece of Basic White, then clean the stamp and reink with Mango Melody, but rotate the rays a bit trying to keep the circle lined up and you'll end up with three different colors of rays. So cool!

Both suns and the tag in the lower card are raised with Dimensionals.

The extra Coastal Cabana cardstock behind the sun was fussy cut with paper snips, just to have the sun "pop" off the card front above.

Easy Happy & Heartfelt Baby Cards

Do you love to make easy cards? Over the next three days, I'll be sharing three sets of two cards that you can make using the same basic design layout. Having cards on hand for those last-minute occasions will be easy to do with this card layout. 

It is also fun to stamp directly on your Designer Series Paper. Just make sure you hold the stamp in place to let the ink absorb for a little bit.

I wanted to show you how some simple changes to a card design will give a new look to the same basic layout.

Okay, I made several small changes, but the resulting cards are still super cute in my opinion

!

Change 1 - Ink color for "hello baby!"

Change 2 - Choosing a different pattern from the Sunshine and Rainbows Designer Series Paper.

Change 3 - Color of the cardstock for the punched heart so the darling little onesie would stand out.

The Onesie/Heart combo is raised off the card front with Dimensionals.
