Happy Wednesday!!We are starting up the new STAMP SOMETHING challenge blog on Friday! So, I will no longer be having a weekly Wednesday blog challenge on my own blog. I want to focus my challenge time on the Friday challenges. I hope you'll join me in those challenges each week.
I have something new for you and my blog! Wednesdays are going to be Simply Sweet Days! I'll show you how to make quick and simple cards. Cards you can make in under 15 minutes. That's right, you heard me, quick and simple!!
Life is busy most days and sometimes stamping just doesn't fit into the schedule. Hopefully these simple and clean designed cards will help you find the inspiration and motivation to stamp simply! I'll try to share at least 2 different cards each week, both with very little prep time and quick assembly. How does that sound! Will you join me for Simply Sweet Days?
This week's cards are both 4" square cards. Each only one layer of cardstock. This limits the amount of cutting necessary to complete the card. Also, both use minimal embellishments.The first card uses a Simply Scrapping Kit. These kits are a great way to make a fun card with little or no stamping. The border piece and orange flower are die cuts from the kit. I stamped the sentiment from Happy Everything, added a piece of chipboard and a rhinestone brad.
This second card uses Tart and Tangy. I stamped the strawberry on white cardstock and punched it out with the 1 3/8" square punch. It's layered on a piece of wide grosgrain red ribbon. The ribbon is held on with 4 silver brads. I paper pierced the bottom edge and added a sentiment from Pun Fun.
That's it, done! Both cards in under 15 minutes! Thanks for looking! Happy Stamping!! :)
