DIY 10 minute Awesome Card
August 16, 2016
Do you find that when you need a card and don't find one in your stash that it always happens when you don't have a lot of time? Me too. Today, needed a cute thank you card and didn't have but 10 minutes to get one stamped but wanted it to be really awesome! So I tapped into the Stampin'Up! Affectionately Yours Designer Series Paper and picked out my favorite design--yes, of course, it had flowers and copper shine--really, could I have selected any other one? And used the new Mixed Borders stamp set which lets you have a wonderful border with a space in the middle to add your greeting--and it comes with a selection that fits right in the opening...here it is
What do you think? I love the way the border matches the design in the paper and how easy it was to pull it all together with the ribbon that matches one of the flowers in the designer paper.
I'm going to give you directions to create this quick cutie and then I'll give you the supply list so you can purchase what you need to re-create it!
1. Cut So Saffron cardstock 8 1/2 X 5 1/2, score the long side at 4 1/4 (this is your card base)
2. Cut your favorite design in the Affectionately Yours DSP 5 1/4 X 2 1/2, adhere this to the top of the card front using multipurpose liquid glue (#110755).
3. Rub the embossing buddy (#103083) over the So Saffron card front bottom. Stamp the leaf border (Mixed Borders) in Versamark, sprinkle with Copper embossing powder, heat with Heat Tool until shiny copper.
4. Stamp your verse (I used Thank you so very much from the Mixed Border stamp set) in Versamark in the space provided in the border stamp. Sprinkle with copper embossing powder, heat with Heat Tool until shiny copper.
5. Cut a 16"piece of Mint Macaron 3/8" Satin Ribbon and tie around the base of the DSP--secure the knot to the card with a glue dot.
Your card is completed! What do you think? You can vary the designer paper and the verse to fit your occasion--so here are the supplies.
