Love the simplicity of these too, the off centeredness makes it simpler! Yay!

[@lindavinson1273]

Super cute cards. Much more than 25% more!!! Thank you for sharing. ☺️

[@pamcadd8658]

Thanks for giving the idea generator a little whack to get it unstuck! The napping duck is a hoot!

[@buffalban]

Great cards, loved seeing all the different mediums. I love these little critters from Anita Jeram and when you color them, Such a treat! Thank you

[@kittymauger7041]

I do love the simplicity of the white space and would have never thought to do these images that way. I love the way it looks. Cute cards!

[@brendakearns1177]

So cute! Absolutely helpful. I would not think of it. My brain always drives me to be symmetrical. Love your videos.

[@gretchenhs]

I love white space cards! So adorable! Clean and simple but oh so cute!

[@bimmermom]

What a wonderful idea ... I have never ever considered doing the image off centre or off the card ... thank you for this

[@karenzemko6518]

Funny you should have this video right now. My church crafting team is working on Easter cards for a local rehab center. The stamped bunny is off to the top left! Guess we must be on the same wave length (scary, huh?)! I'm still a "paper layerer", but the design idea is the same. It's a good reminder that simple is ok too. TFS

[@terriconrad4612]

Such an awesome idea!!! Who’d a thunk it?? Love it! 💖🥰

[@elizabethk8938]

I watched this on your Blog and just wanted to say how beautiful your cards are and how talented you are.. I love your watercolor cards. Thank you for sharing.

Super helpful, Sandy. I know about the rule of thirds but it’s nice to see it demonstrated as I still have a tendency to go in the middle. So fun to watch you watercolour - it’s like magic! ❤️🇨🇦

I’ve seen cards like this in the stores, but never thought about giving it a try. I will have to try it. All three cards are so sweet. The one kitty looks like a raccoon. Lol

[@created2bless322]

Thank you this makes lots of sense! Those critters are all cute too and your coloring is perfect!

[@creatingincolors333]

Great cards. I like this “nudge” to get images out of the center.

[@TRsPlace]

Great cards. Great tips! TFS...💛 💛TR

[@rachelmcinnes4580]

I can't wait to try this!!

[@peggywood4360]

Thanks for info. So pretty

[@martinelindemann481]

Heyhey dear Sandy , your little card ideas are so so beautiful , they go write in the ❤😊 I don't get those stemps here , but I just managed to drown them myself for making cards for friends .....my goodness they are sooo cute , thank you for that 😍😊❤

[@npatriciacastillo6671]

When I started scrapbooking many decades ago, I started taking more pictures and learned the rule of thirds. Love, love, love cards that use this rule! I need to do more on the left bottom third - I tend to prefer the bottom right....

[@Kitchensurprise]

Great info!

[@rebeccawong1]

I like it, again n again ☺️

[@ernataylor-stark4593]

Fantastic. I am off to the internet for stamps!

[@margieguthre1865]

love it ! What a great tip! I'm a kitchen designer I tend to make everything even because of kitchens cabinets

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Hi Sandy. I stumbled onto your video. Stayed, enjoyed and have become your newest subscriber. I struggle with leaving so much white space towards the top ... but I will try. Thanks so much. 😊

[@SandyAllnock1]

Welcome! Hope you find lots to inspire you 😍

[@dianeloughrey7808]

Adorable. With any luck some of my CCC stamps should be here today!

[@lindaruschmeyer5298]

Wow! These are adorable. Great instructions as well. Love these stamp sets. TFS

[@paulapeterson-warnock3030]

Cute!!!!!!!

[@RosyJalifi]

Cuteness..

[@amysamin]

Very helpful, thank you Sandy! I see that each of these wonderful cards are one layer. Do you think this kind of placement would also work if there was a border around a panel with the off-center design? Thank you for showing several coloring options.

[@SandyAllnock1]

I think so but try it and see 😍

[@Tonniece3]

👍🏾💯❤️. Hugz

[@BooBeaux]

25% cuter? I think it is 33-1/2% cuter. Just sayin’. TFS

[@SandyAllnock1]

😎 I took apart because they said there would be no math. LOL
