I have been accused of using ribbon too often by a few of my stamping friends - you know who you are :-) So on this card, I tried to keep it ribbonless and simple. I like the Crumb Cake and Marina Mist together and thought it would be a good combo for a man or woman. I tried it both ways, but I found that I liked the vertical leaves look better. The sentiment has been punched with our new decorative label punch. And with an extra large punch like that, you have room for many different word choices.

This card was one of the all occasion cards I did for my last stamp-a-stack. I used the Apple Blossoms level 2 hostess set, and then everyone chose words that suited their needs. I got the idea for this simple but nice layout from a card I got in a swap from my ImPeckable stampers group. Thanks, Julie! I loved her entire card, but since I didn't have the Designer Series Paper she used nor do I own the stamp set (yet), I changed the colors and the stamps and made a card of my own. I also made a Crumb Cake version too - also nice, but I decided this was more all purpose for the group. The little green ribbon is made with the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch - only showing the bottom edge totally changes the look of the punch. Sorry for the dark picture... I experimented with my picture taking spot and thought it was a good one... won't be doing that again!
