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

  • when you’re in a hurry!
  • 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:
