Sometimes less is better. I don't always want to add a lot of layers and embellishments to my card, instead I just want the sentiment and stamp to say it all.
To create the template on the "Just For You" card I punched a hole in a piece of scrap cardstock with the 1 3/8" circle punch. Next, I sponged So Saffron and Early Espresso ink into the opening created by the punch, then stamped the flower. For the "Thank You" card I cut a 3" circle using my Circle Scissors Plus and followed the same steps listed above. This technique creates a really nice background to silhouette your stamp and sentiment.
For today's cards I used the following:
Cardstock: Whisper White #100730
Ink: Early Espresso #119670, So Saffron #105213
Stamp Set: Just Believe #116948 wood mount or #120453 clear mount
Punches: 1 3/8" Circle #119860, Word Window #119857
Ribbon: Daffodil Delight 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain #119770
Accessories: Circle Scissors Plus #112530, Glass Mat #112531, Sponges #101610, Dimensionals #104430
Stamping Tip: Save the templates you created for future use. Also, make sure the template is cut on a piece of scrap cardstock large enough so that when you are sponging your ink the ink will only show where you want it to go. I hope that makes sense!
