The challenge#3 at Stampin’ Royalty today is to make a one-layer card. That is more difficult than I imagined! I actually did make a set of four one-layer cards yesterday, but I did not photograph them and wanted to do something a little different today. So I made three!! The first one was not so good, but the second & third were better! I think it’s because they have ribbon—other than that, they are all pretty clean & simple. Okay, enough yakking, here ya go:
This is number three. (I am going backwards here!) I anchored the ribbon by doing a one-hole bow. Image is from Holiday Blitz; colors are Real Red, Melon Mambo, Regal Rose and Rose Red; sentiment is from The More the Merrier.
Here’s number two, a REAL simple one:
Card is Pretty in Pink, cut with the Scallop Square BigShot Diecut; again, the image is from Holiday Blitz, stamped in Craft White and embossed with white EP. The little CB cross stitch folder is one I’ve had for a long time! The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and the ribbon is SU’s Satin ---yummeeee!
Finally, this was my first attempt. I should have stopped stamping while I was ahead:
It just looks BARE, but I do like the white on the BB. Sets used are Always and Enjoy Every Moment; card and ink are Bermuda Bay, with the bird and sentiment again stamped in Craft White and heat embossed. A good exercise to get back to basics! Oh well, you can’t win them all!

ReplyDeleteHoly scrumptious stamping, Batman! These cards ROCK, LeAnne! I REALLY can relate to how difficult it can be to limit your creativity like this, but you did some awesome work, my friend! Yee HAW!
ReplyDeleteAdorable, LeAnne! I love that little embossing square you used on the baby card. I have that folder and I totally forgot about it. It must be totally buried in my drawer. I need to get it out!
ReplyDeleteAll are wonderful! I really love the last one...been itching to use that set again lately!
ReplyDeleteWow LeAnne. These are sooooooooooo great. It seems that lots of us made a few before we were happy with them.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards. I like them all.
ReplyDeleteSuper work on the One-Layers. These are all out standing.
ReplyDeleteThey are very pretty! I wish I was better at making one layer cards...but I too get caught up in thinking they are too bare. I love yours though!
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty! I find it most difficult to make one layer cards, but you've pulled it off quite well with this trio of lovely cards!
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty! I love the simplicity of them! Thanks for playing along with us at Stampin' Royalty!
ReplyDeleteAwesome cards, LeAnne! I LOVE the baby card with that embossed square! I have had those mini CB folders for years too, and never have a good idea for using them! Thanks for the inspiration!
