I can't stop playing with the Forever Fern stamp set!  It's so easy to make beautiful cards with and with some of my favorite 'go to' color combos.

If you like this set of cards check out another stunning set here; it has a kit to go option while supplies last! And a project tutorial available here. 

I made these cards and recorded it on video so you could see how fast they can be.  There are three different card layouts all using the same three colors.  Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape and Bermuda Bay inks with these same card stock colors plus Coastal Cabana and Whisper White.

The White greeting die is from the Tasteful Labels dies.  I hand cut the larger one. 

Measurements for this card:

• Granny Apple Green 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base
• Gorgeous  Grape  3 3/4" X 5"
• Whisper White 3 pieces at 3 1/2" X 1 1/2"

Save

I used a masking & sponging technique here and added a die-cut from the Flourishing Fern dies too.

Measurements:

• Coastal Cabana card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
• White 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
• Gorgeous Grape 3 5/8" X 4 7/8"

Save

A simple card base of Gorgeous Grape 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" and White at 5 1/4" X 4".  Did you catch that I sponged the corner of the left one?  Which do you prefer?
