Simple Chalk Talk Thank You

     Simple image plus fancy background equals great looking card.  This is the last image from the Chalk Talk stamp set.  I once again cut the image out using the Chalk Talk Framelits.  There are 3 little pieces in the framelits that can be used with any of the images to make a hole for ribbons.  I used one on this card and attached 3 coordination colors of 1/8 inch ribbon to bring out the colors of the background paper.  I tied the ribbons together with some of the matching Baker's twine.  I have someone I plan to send this card out to today, and can easily make several more with this simple card format.
I hope you have enjoyed the tour of the Chalk Talk stamp set and how it can be used to make some simple cards.

Chalk Talk the Simple Way

   
    Banners are the big thing right now so I decided to make some banners as the background for this simple design from the Chalk Talk stamp set.  This image coordinates with the Extra Large Oval punch so how easy is that, no Big Shot involved to cut out this image.  I used the This and That Epic Day designer paper to make the banners.  My friend Julie told me an easy way to get the notch on the bottom of the banner.

1.  First make a cut about 1/2 inch in the center of the bottom of the paper.

2. Next go the the left-hand corner and cut up into the cut you made.  you have now made 1/2 of the notch.

3. Finally, do the same thing only this time from the right-hand corner.  Perfect notch every time and no more guessing.

Simple Does It

   
     Do you ever need a card really fast and have none on hand?  This card was so easy to make that it would solve that problem for you. The central stamped image is two of the images from the Chalk Talk stamp set placed on top of each other.  Once again I was able to use the Magnetic Platform and Chalk talk framelits to quickly and easily cut out the stamped images.  I wanted to add something that helped the card pop so I found the Dahlia in color flowers did the trick. Another simple card ready to go and ready to duplicate.

Chalk Talk Simple Card

     Since this stamped image was so big, I wanted a great background.  I looked through the designer paper called Soho Subway and discovered this piece that had some grey and other striking colors in it.  This is another card from the Chalk Talk stamp set which I cut out using the matching Chalk Talk framelit and the MAGNETIC PLATFORM.  I cannot state enough how awesome the platform is.  I placed my card stock down, put the framelit over it and it stayed in place!  I used some of the Regal Candy Dots as a color accent on the stamped piece, and finished off the card with some Pacific Point striped ribbon. Another simple but striking card.

Simple cards are nice

     Last week at the downline meeting we stamped and punched all the designs from the Chalk Talk stamp set.  I love the sayings and decided to create some simple cards to show off each one of the sayings.  For this card I took the sheet of the This and That Epic Day designer paper that had hexagons on it and punched them out with the new hexagon punch.  What better background for this card than the Honeycomb embossing folder. This was quick and easy to make but really shows off the saying.  Mission accomplished.
