Today's thrifty tip is to save the money you pay for pattern paper, and use stamps instead. For this card (ok quality of the photos STINKS--Sorry!) I stamped backgrounds or circles of different types in VersaMark. In future cards using such a light cardstock, I'll use the same color ink as the paper to ensure the images show up better.
I used my 1" circle punch to make the "design"
I punched some flowers with my flower trio punch from Stampin Up!
I added some mini pearl flat backs to the center of the flowers,
and selected some circles to add pop-dots too for more dimension.
Another great look is to stamp the sentiment onto the base instead of the extra circle.
This is a technique and layout I can repeat many times and use less than one sheet of cardstock to create it!
Cheap and I get along well!
