I love using Crystal Effects - features pop up from the paper and the finished look can be as elegant or as bold as you wish. This is one of the elegant examples -

This is the card I sent one of them for mother's day (unfortunately, I did not take a picture of the other one... too much hurry !!) I used a little trick with the chocolate chip ink so it would look more "earthy" on the kiwi kiss cardstock (olive oil) - and I so love the sentiment from the Sweet Little Sentiments hostess set. I am really enjoying working with the kraft cardstock this fall - I think it fits the mood ! The Inspired By Nature stampset also helps. I love this simple card!
