You might know that the acronym for K.I.S.S. is “Keep it simple sweetie”! In the card making world K.I.S.S. cards are life savers.
Keep It Simple Sweetie cards are great

- for beginning stampers/card makers.
- when you need to make multiple cards.
- when you want your crafting budget to go farther.
- when you’re stuck and want to jump start your crafting mojo!
Here is an example of a K.I.S.S. card:
A simple, elegant card and sometimes, as in this case, less is more. All that is needed are a few basic paper crafting supplies – no special tools required. Here is video tutorial for the card that I shared during my Coffee & a Card Facebook Live today:
