Simple Saturday
Cheer Up Buttercup! card
If you were having a bad day, would this bright and cheery card with a little gold sparkle and playful washi tape not just give you a skip in your step? Sometimes just the right card can come at just the right time. Who would you give this to this week. I can think of someone right now! This was a card we made at my card class on this fabulous set "Geometrical". Although my clean and simple cards are usually one layer, the tag is so EASY to make, I deem it clean and simple enough for Saturday. My favorite thing about this card is the "up" arrows next to the Cheer Up Buttercup sentiment. Do you love it?

Color cheer up stamp with markers as show and angle it in the center of the tag (this is where the clear mount stamps really shine!). Use tiny strip of gold to underline the stamp and trim on edges.
