Change the Layout of the Same Elements to Create Two Different Card Looks

At Fun Stampers Journey Convention, we are asked to donate a patriotic card.   One of the Coaches sends them to a US military minister for a unit in Afghanistan.   They are given to the service men and women to help boost moral when they are having a tough time.   Inside the card is a personal note from the creator of the card (in this case me) thanking the recipient for their service.

The cards needs to be more flat (no button or high levels of embellishments), can't have anything on it that sparkles or glitters, and no identifiers on who is sending the card other than a first name.

Here are two of the cards I made this morning.   Both have the exact same elements (same colors, same sizes, same stamps).   However notice how the placement of the elements changes the complete look of the card.  Of course, I had to make the card red, white, and blue.

For the first card I centered all the pieces.

For the second card I lined up all of the pieces with the lower left hand corner.

Card Stock Sizes Used:
Candy Apple Red   (top fold card)   4 1/4" x 11"

My Fun Stampers Journey Convention Tags & FSJ Sales Are Continued Through End of June 2017

I'm so excited about going to convention for Fun Stampers Journey this year.  It literally is almost in our backyard, just a few minutes away.   Our agenda is filled with so many things to do and learn.  I just can't wait.   It is so wonderful to have part of my team/downline going too.  I promise to post lots of photos too.

It is very important when going to convention to tag our items as so many will be identical to what other Coaches are bringing too (like our shoulder and wheel totes).   As a result, the other day I decided to create some tags with bright ribbons to tie on my bags.   Here's one of the ones I made.

Fun Stampers Journey Products Used:

Be Amazing Prints PP-0023  12 x 12 double sided paper
      4 each of 6 two-sided prints = 24 sheets total
      Retiring - on the Break Up Sale while supplies last 30% off
Amazing Stripes Ribbon AC-0203  3/4" wide 15 yards long
Rainbow Drops AC-0178
     Has a closing/locking plastic/acrylic container.
     Contains 768 pieces.  There are 6 colors with 3 sizes of each color.
Tag Set Steel Rule Die SR-0014
      There are 3 different sizes of tags on this one die.
      Die will work in both the Amaze and the Platinum Machine

Journey Platinum Machine (die cutting) TO-0090

OR

Amaze Die Cutting Machine TO-0134
Updated Note:
    The smaller tag is Whip Cream Card Stock that I sponged with Sour Lemon, Outrageous Pink, and Orange Rave inks.
