It’s Throwback Thursday! Today is all about templates….or one template in particular…Ha!
Before we get to the template though let me ask you a couple questions? Does anyone remember this stamp set? What about the color? I know the name of the stamp set because it was in the name of the photo. It’s Garden Whimsey. The color is another story….I really can’t remember it. Raspberry Ripple comes to mind but I think this card is older than that. I may have to do some research on this and get back to you.
In Monday’s post I mentioned that I was getting quite a chuckle looking at these old cards. First of all I think I scanned the cards instead of taking photos of them and I couldn’t even do a decent job of that! Some of the cards designs are quite interesting but what struck me funny with this one is that some things don’t change….I will have to admit that this is still my go-to template: a focal point, some ribbon and a few layers. Really, this design is almost timeless. You really can’t go wrong with it. Just check out this card I designed a few months ago…
Does the basic design of the card look familiar? A focal point, ribbon and layers? OK…the ribbon is a bit different and I’ve added a sentiment but the design of this card is pretty darn close to the first card I showed you.
I do like this design because it works with pretty much any type of stamp. Even if you had a stamp that just said Thank You or Happy Birthday or something you could use this design. The design is simple and basic and it works. Do you have a template or card design that is your go-to? Send me a photo of your favorite design. I’d love to see it!
Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
