Hi there friends. There’s nothing like beginning the weekend! I took a break from my focus to finish up another card that had been started but not finished. It simply needed a sentiment. I picked out one that I truly treasure from Serendipity Stamps called No Matter What Road. Doesn’t that just make you nod your head – you know it’s true. Not wanting to fuss further I simply stamped it down on my design paper.
I used a Martha Stewart Punch All Over Punch to make my cross panel. With a bow and pearls to finish, I would say this is one of my simpler cards. I sure don’t mind simple. Speaking of keeping it simple, my post is very brief because I’m working today.
| SUPPLIES I USED |
| Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – No Matter What Road Paper: K & Company – Classic K McKenna Ink: Versafine Onyx Black Accessories: MS Anywhere Punch – Floral Tile , Recollections Pearls, Ribbon, Prima Flowers, Leaf PIns, Clear Embossing Powder |
See you soon! Be good!!
Good Morning Becca, I love the simplicity of this card. This shows me how cool the punch around the page really is! Lovely as always, Hugs

Love the simplicity of this gorgeous card, Becca! Showcases the gorgeous dp’s, the punch, and that beautiful bow! Have a fabulous weekend!
You know, I actually prefer simple. I make cards for my husband and grown sons, and they are not into “girlie”, with bows and pearls and glitz. I have to work hard to come up with masculine cards. Maybe you can help with that? I sure would appreciate it. Also, I make cards for people at church and family and friends, and I have to produce LOTS. I just can’t spend that much time on each card. Sometimes it’s quantity, not quality, I guess!
Thanks for your blog.
Very different but I love it as always. Great colors!
Love the sentiment and of course the entire card :)
Beautiful card and I love the sentiment. TFS. Enjoy your weekend.
The card is just beautiful, thank you for sharing.
Ah, simple you say? Lovely, I would say. I have this MS punch, will have to see if I can do something as beautiful as what you did here. Great combinations of colors and wonderful sentiment. TFS
This is truly lovely. Noone who received this would think it is simple. The little flowers on the bow are so special.
Becca,
I wish my “simple” looked as beautiful as your “simple” – thanks for sharing.
Lovely card! Love your bow, the flowers and pin. You do such pretty work!
Enjoy your weekend.
Beautiful card and beautiful sentiment.
Beautiful card Becca, would you consider doing a video tutorial showing how you line up the Martha Stewart punch around the page punches? I am sure you have a trick that will make them more user friendly. thank you
Gorgeous card Becca and as someone else….I wish my simple looked as beautiful as yours.
Many thanks for sharing it with us.
Love Sheila xx
It may be simple but it is very elegant! I love that sentiment, so true! Have a blessed day and don’t work to hard.
If you think this is a simple card Becca I really could never show you my “simple” cards!!!!!!!!!! Yikes, this is sooooooooo beautiful. Elegant and I too love the sentiment. TY for sharing and God bless. Hugs.
As always, this is a beautiful card…had looked at these new punches…now I see them in use…they are impressive! Watch out budget!!! :)
lovely and yes so true.
I love this card. As always great color combo and just plain beautiful. I am trying so hard to brake away from my usual monochromatic pastel cards and trying to learn to use patterned papers Seeing your cards everyday is such an inspiration and very educational. Thank you.
Blessings Bernie
Such a pretty card! I love the cross panel and beautiful sentiment ~ LOVE your gorgeous bow, too!!!
Have a great day, Becca!
So pretty! I love the sentiment.
Thanks for sharing! :)
it may be simple but it is those little touches you add to your cards that make them so lovely – the bow, the corsage pins, the pearls.
Becca, your cards are always so gorgeous. I bet even a half finished one is lovely. The sentiment is great. Gotta have that one. Enjoy your week-end.

Nobody, absolutely nobody does ribbon and bows like you can. This is another wonderful example. Beautiful paper, sentiment, cross panel, and of course ribbon treatment. Pure beauty! Thx Becca for sharing this.
This is soooo pretty Becca! I LOVE what you’ve done with the MS panel —going across the card like that!!!! I have a punch similar to that! You always help in finding new ways to use things! Thanks Becca!
I think the card is so cute. I love the colors you use and the cute bow. Thank you for sharing.
Have a great weekend :)

Another simply beautiful card. Even tho it’s simple to you, it is still a gorgeous example of layering/not layering. thank you for sharing your talents with us.
Simple is good, simple is elegant. I am nodding to “going home”
Your colours are so soothing and the card itself is lovely….you are the best!
Another absolutely beautifully accomplished card, Becca!! All of your recent cards, projects and tutorials have been stunning, as ever … you are an inspiration, always. A big ‘Thank You’ for sharing, and sending you Hugs x
What a terrific sentiment. Beautiful card as always Becca.
Ooooh! Just love this colour combination…and the bow…and the pins…and the sentiment…and the paper…and the pearls…
You do it every time, Becca!

I love your flare and always enjoy your blogs, videos and newsletters. Blessings on your weekend!!
I absolutely love your simple cards because they are the only ones I attempt to copy :) Your other cards are absolutely lovely but I’m not into the details enough to attempt them!
I love this card. I just got this MS punch in the mail the other day. I can’t wait to play with it (and the other 2 I got). What an ingenious idea for punches.
This is a beauty Becca. I love the colors and the sentiment is beautiful. Lovely work girlie.
Hugs and Blessings,
Deb
