Very Vanilla and Basic Black

I have a customer who requests Congratulations cards and I'm listening! Here are a couple of samples that would work well for any occasion. These designs will be available to make at the November Stamp a Stack. Make them Congrats, Birthday, Wedding, Get Well, Sympathy or my Favorite sentiment "Throw Caution to the Wind" from "Spread the Joy".
Make cards and Spread your Joy to others!! I cracked open the "Modern Medley'" designer paper for these cards and all I can say is YUMMY. Love this paper!!

Up first, the above card has a Basic Black mat cut 4 1/8 X 4 1/2. I had cut the Designer paper 4X4, but need to trim a 1/4 off so it would fit the Basic Black mat. All I can say is HAPPY ACCIDENT, cause if you turn this paper over that tiny band of Polka Dots is what you get!! I adhered to the Black mat and embossed with the Modern Mosaic embossing folder(does not show up on this card). I used Background Builders at the bottom of the card. The sentiment was punched out with the Xlarge Oval punch and layered on a Artisan Label punch cut in half to peek from the top and bottom.

Next, the same paper in a horizontal layout. This time the Basic Black card stock is cut 4 X 2. Emboss this piece before adding to the card. Add your Modern Medley paper and the polka dot strip You could use ribbon here if you like. The Congratulations is from Layered Labels and is cut out the Apothecary Framelits. Pearls accent this label. Simple yet stunning card!
