Sometimes the easiest way to spark creativity is to start with one solid layout and let your supplies do the rest of the work. For today’s clean & layered cards, I used the same basic layout on all three designs and simply tweaked a few details to give each card its own personality. The Rainbow Village 6 x 6 Pattern Paper does so much of the heavy lifting here, adding instant color and interest without feeling busy. Pairing those patterns with the Rainbow Village Birds Embossed Die Cuts and a mix of the Small Florals Embossed Die Cuts and Large Florals Embossed Die Cuts made it easy to build cheerful focal points that feel playful yet polished.

Three colorful greeting cards with vibrant bird illustrations; text reads "Happy Christmas," "You're the Best," "Happy Friendship."

To keep everything cohesive, I stuck with Basic White Smooth Cardstock and Charcoal Black Smooth Cardstock for crisp layering, then added texture with the Winter Plaid 3D Embossing Folder. The All Occasions Sentiments A5 12pc Sentiment Sheets made finishing each card quick and stress-free, whether I was creating something seasonal or everyday-friendly. Using Paper Rose’s Top Fold White Card Bases and White Standard A2 Card Bases helped keep the focus on the design while still giving each card a slightly different look. This is such a great approach when you want to stretch your supplies and create multiple cards at once—same layout, fresh results every time.
