Here are three super easy, fuss free, handmade cards you could make, for friends, neighbours and family.

You Are Loved card: uses white card with one of the foiled designs from the In The Neighbourhood 6×6 Papers, overlaid by a smaller rectangle of the same range. Using foam tape, tracy stuck a large tag down over the top of the papers base, with a ribbon threaded through the hole and short. Floral Diecut Ephemera from In The Neighbourhood were then arranged on top, another tag from the Diecut Ephemera Sentiments, and the phrase “you are loved” with a heart from the Diecut Ephemera and a little Puffy Sticker to finish.

Bird Friends card: uses the same white card to start, with two layers of 6×6 papers cut into rectangles, one slightly smaller than the other. Tracy stuck these down with tacky glue, but you could use adhesive glue rollers, or PVA. The birds and bird houses are from the In The Neighbourhood Diecut Ephemera, the ticket is from the Diecut Ephemera Sentiments, and the flowers are from the Diecut Florals. These are stuck on using either foam tape or tacky glue to create layers  and a simple 3D effect. You could also use some of the puffy motifs or some gems to add a bit of sparkle.

Fresh Air & Sunshine card: uses the same white card again as a base, with two layers of 6×6 papers cut into rectangles, one smaller than the other. The trees and bicycle are from the In The Neighbourhood Diecut Ephemera, the phrase and street sign are from the Diecut Ephemera Sentiments, and the flower is from the Diecut Florals. These are also stuck on using either foam tape or tacky glue, to give variations of height.
