One of the things I am trying to do on my blog now is offer LOTS of variety! I am trying to design some clean and simple cards, some innovative designs, some highly detailed cards, some altered items and some scrapbooking pages. It is really fun for me and I hope you like this idea as well.
So here are two quick and easy card ideas!
Both cards use a clear set by Hero Arts available at Stamper's Dream store. The idea behind both is to make some simple but classy designs when you are pinched for time. I used patterned paper and piercing to add simple elements that add so much.
For the first card, I stamped the bracket design and cut it out. The sentiment is popped out too.

Materials used: Stamps-Hero Arts clear set (available at Stamper's Dream); ink-olive; cardstock-white, bordering blue, SU designer paper; silver brads (SU!); piercing tool (SU!); dimensionals.
For this second design, I used some designer paper (from Stampin' Up!) that I think match the stamped frame perfectly. I added some Hero arts bling to the flowers on the center piece for a neat touch. Stamps and bling are available at Stamper's Dream.

I love simpler and that's what I'm doing this year especially on my scrapbook pages. I have so many to catch up on. Love both of your cards. Love the bling on the flowers and great frames. TFS :)
Those are both simply adorable. I can't believe how well that SU! paper matches the stamp. Quick and simple seems to be a lost art....and a great one!
How refreshing to see some simpler cards! I so appreciate your doing this and demonstrating that it's okay!!! LOL! These both are just beautiful, Cam!
I love the variety on your blog!! It's really nice to have some quick, but very pretty card designs available!! The dp is just gorgeous and I love the little bits of bling!! And now I have the song, "Simple and Clean" stuck in my head!! It's one of my dd's faves right now!! LOL
You know I'm thinking the trend right now is for simpler cards . . . I'm seeing a lot more of them lately and I'm making them myself! Sometimes less is more! :) Your cards are beautiful - that frame & paper are perfect together!
So cute and that's exactly what I need! I always seem to wait to the last minute and need a particular card, then I'm frantic finding just the right embellishements, etc. TFS
sometimes simplicity is just perfect! These cards are great! I love the striped paper and piercing on the 1st card, and the bling with little flowers just makes the 2nd one perfect! Nice job!

Love the simpler cards Carolyn! It's been a couple of weeks since I stamped and I think I should work on simple today too! Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful "simple" cards. They are gorgeous and I love feeling like it's a look I could actually accomplish.
These are simple, elegant, and really pretty!
I love that idea. Yes, piercing does add elegance...Great idea to incorporate many projects. You know I scrapbook all the time, and never show them on my blog. I should do that..not sure why I don't show it..it is a main part of who I am...Have a fantastic weekend. chris

Keep the take 10's coming... I can't do one, but need to get ideas to try, thanks. tfs :)
These look great. Thanks for the variety.
I love clean and simple cards...sometimes mine end up looking a little too simple so I look forward to seeing more of these types of cards in the future--the more inspiration the better, right?
These colors are so beautiful together, Gorgeous card, TFS.
Oops, I forgot about the top card.
What I love about this one is the simplicity and the color combo, it's perfect for a male yet it's not drab or dull, and it can be used for a woman. I also like the layout. TFS.
