Greetings!  Jan Tatomir here and happy to be guesting at Ella for Card Month!  Haven't we received some fantastic tips on card making?   Scrapbook manufacturers sure have made it easy on us card makers, haven't they?  I love the new 6x6 paper pads that a lot of the scrapbook manufacturers are coming out with.  The scaled down prints work so much better on cards, dont' they?  Matching embellishments and easy to use sentiments make making a card quick and easy.  

Here, I've let the fun sticker sentiment from SRM determine what I did for the rest of this simple card. I added a little fake snow for a frosty mustache embellishment.  

For my Halloween card I used 2 pattern papers from a 6x6 paper pad from My Mind's Eye Mischievious line.   I added one large felt tree embellishment with a pop of color from the stars.  The eyes added a bit of fun to the tree.  The sticker sentiment was cut in half in order to work on my card.

One of my favorite techniques for making a simple eye catching design is blocking.   Using pattern paper from a paper pad makes it easy to do.  Add a matching embellishment and you have a simply stunning card made in minutes.

Simple can be elegant.  Simple can be fun.  Easy to use products make card making simple and enjoyable.  Please visit my blog,  Simply Made,  for a chance to win som SRM Sticker Sentiments!  Happy Card Making!
