I am back to share a project that is all about simplicity. Simple cards doesn't mean it's plain and boring. In fact, effortless elegance (simplicity) can convey a sense of quiet luxury.

 

With the right image, card stock and sentiment, Clean and Simple design is actually quite stunning.

 

You may want to ask.... what is "Quiet Luxury"?

 Quiet Luxury is about the fashion trend that is timeless, classic, understated and elegant. 

From Google search: The staples are eternal: classic loafers, timeless trench coats, impeccably tailored trousers, and crisp, logo-free tees. The color palette exudes calm—soft beiges, light creams, rich blacks, and pristine whites. And when it comes to materials, only the finest—like cashmere, silk, and Vicuña wool—make the cut.

 

 “Quiet luxury is a new term, but this emphasis on timelessness and minimalism is an integral part of French women’s lifestyle," says expert Sophie Hersan. "We love effortless elegance.”

  With that set of style in mind, how do you translate that trend into card-making? 

 

In my interpretation: products that are nonseasonal, classy and timeless. Designs are simple. They can be a focal point with/without symmetry.

*When used, these products can convey a positive impression. For example, BetterPress Die has that wow factor with a subtle imprints/ textures)

*The quality of the product should convey a sense of elegance (ex: the Spellbinders paper truly delivers) You can definitely use other brands of paper. They ALL work, but the difference is that the Spellbinders paper does make the design pop, however subtle it may be.

To elevate the design, why not take it up another level by creating a coordinating envelop? What do you think? I thoroughly enjoy learning to use BetterPress . Even as seasonal stamper like me, I find it fun  and invigorating to learn a new trick of two.
