For today's Stamp Simply Ribbon Inspiration, designers are making two cards! One Thank You card decked out with ribbon, flowers, & embellishments and for card number two, creating the same card, only leaving off all the bulk.

| Thanks Cards |
Here are my two Thanks Cards! I hope you can tell the one that is more embellished than the other! The crowns were purchased at Michaels in a package with one side being sticky. I traced the crown shape onto Kasiercraft Chanteuse designer paper, cut out and stuck to crown base.

| Thanks Card - Embellished Version |

| Thanks Card - Unembellished Version
And here is my unembellished version! No trim, ribbons, or flowers! Kaisercraft adhesive pearls, a couple ovals, stamped thanks sentiment. Thanks is stamped using Memento Rich Cocoa ink and is found in Everyday Greetings by Rubber Soul Wordsworth.

Fun crown shaped design! It is difficult to step back from the bling table...you've done a great job on it here Barb!
I LOVE these! Great job! I like the "stepped up" version the best. -Mary R.
I would never have thought to use a crown for a thank you card. I think both cards are beautiful.
Oh My! Both of the cards are fabulous. I am leaning towards the one with more. I always want more! and I have trouble deciding when I am actually done. Thanks for showing that it is a possibility!
Oh now, aren't these just too cute? NO! How can you be too cute. I love the way you outlined the crown with the trim. Adorable.
Cards without the bulk gives me great ideas, thank you

These are just darling, Barb! LOVE all the embellies used on the fancier version -- ADORABLE crowns!
Finally.....I've tried several times to post to your blog and it wouldn't let me !! ha
Great "royalty" look to your card.
I think your cards are fun- I like the shape. rlovew1976 at yahoo.com
The first word (and thought) when I saw these crownies was WOW! They are so cute and so girly! And the way You decorated one with sutage - suppose it's quite time-consuming, but the result is worth working! Love them both, Barb!
Love that crown shape! In your CAS challenge I really, really like the "more" card. It is so different and a crown always calls for lots of glitz!
Both cards are great, but I love the one with the trim the best. It just seems to match that crown!!!
Me, I like the bling. What a great find - the crown is so cute.
Both your cards are just wonderful. With bling and without! TFS
Hi Barb~
What a great card shape! How fun and unique! I love it! And, yes, I can tell the difference between the CAS card and the more decorative card! LOL I love that you used the ringlet trim...it should be named for you! It seems like it should be named after you! I love the addition of the flowers, also.
Thanks for showing how wonderful some trim and flowers and beautiful paper can really make a difference between cards! Wow!
He IS Able!

Love the crowns that you used, but I have to admit I really like the embellished card over the plain one. Love the colors you used on it, and the trim really makes the crown more regal.
