A few days ago I posted one of my favorite layouts for showcasing a sentiment and Designer Series Paper. Today I am back with that same layout and a different look! What I love about this layout is that it is so quick and easy, yet the result is classy! Let me share some happiness with you!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips:
- Spotlight! Framing the sentiment from Happiness Shared and popping it up onto dimensionals brings it right to the forefront. A strategically placed Basic Pearl and butterfly, punched with the Beautiful Wings Embosslits, also direct the eye straight to the focal point of this card.
- Balance! A large Marina Mist Striped Grosgrain Bow grounds the card, as well as balances the design.
- Bling! Basic Pearls adorn all three butterflies, while Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz kisses the wings of the largest.
- Fun! Fringe your ribbon for a fun look! Don’t know how? Let my friend, Mary, show you!
Here is the same layout…different look! Notice that with both cards, the sentiment is the main player in a cast of embellishments!

Ann fabulous colors and lay out. You always inspire me to be great!
WOW Ann…I wouldn’t recognize it! The background paper is wonderful (on both cards). I will have to go to my catalogue…You inspire me each and every day!!! I love the contrasting color of your flutterbies and how you always add them in non-traditional places.
Never would of guessed this was the same layout. Your card is beautiful. I am going to try that layout for sure. The ribbon is awesome. Love all the added touches. Fraying is awesome. Hugs,
The frayed ribbon is awesome! I loe your bow … I can’t seem to make good bows!!! 🙁 but I keep trying! I really ike both cards…as always – you Rock!!!
Exquisite look. Thanks for the shout out on the fringe. Hugs, M
This card is beautiful. You tie a bow so well. How about a video tutorial on that? Enjoy your weekend.
Hi,
This is my first “visit” to your lovely blog, so like your style!
Fantastic blog header and background too.
Happy week-end.

Love how you showcased one layout and two different looks…you’re so creative! The pearls on the butterflies are a wonderful touch. Enjoy your weekend!
I never much liked fraying the ribbons until I saw this card today! The wide ribbon frayed half way looks really cool! I will definately try fraying the wide ribbons. TFS!!
Love this. But then I like everything you do. And the DSP is perfect for the flight of the butterfly!

Wow! Love this card, too!! Changing just a few things does make a big difference. Love that fringed ribbon – on my list of “Things to Do”!! ;D
I LOVE this, Ann! The colors are perfect, and the big bow really sets off the entire card. I can’t wait to use this layout now that I have seen both cards! ~Bonnie~
This is sooo pretty Ann! That DSP with the butterflies looks like they were made to go together. Love the touches of pearls and that’s the first I’ve seen of that ribbon inthe Marina Mist color…I think I’ll have to add that to my ‘must have’ list. It just keeps on getting bigger! 🙂

Beautiful, Ann! Haven’t considered using so much Marina Mist at once, but now I will!
Great card as always. I Love that DSP and the fringed ribbon is fantastic! I am not crazy about the wide ribbon, but I really like that look. TFS.
Very pretty! Love that color of blue.
Thanks for the inspiration Ann! I like them!
Wow what a difference…. I love the frayed ribbon… It is hard to believe it is the same layout…
