Quickest Birthday Card You've Ever Made
August 06, 2024
Today we're creating the Quickest Birthday Card You've Ever Made. I'm all about creating something quickly but it also must look good too, right? We can alway slap something together and not think about color or composition...it will be fast but not necessarily look good.
For the next 4 posts we're going to be creating with the coordinated cards/envelopes along with the four Ephemera packs that appeared in the new Stampin'Up! Annual catalog. The cards are very quick and very easy to put together--yes, we may be adding a bit of cardstock and some embellishments to make the focal points pop--but we'd be doing that anyway if we were staring from scratch.
Today we're going to be working with the Calming Creek set of matching cards & envelopes...
Through this & the next 3 posts we'll be using die cuts from all 4 of the Ephemera packs
*Saying Something
*Fully Flowering
*Labels & Layers
*Something for Everything
If you think these cards would come in handy in your hurried life--you will most likely want to have all 4 on hand for mixing and matching.
Here's today's creation
and a closer peek
We began with the green card base (& matching envelope--that's so awesome). The base already has a design embedded so nothing else was needed.
The flower is from the Fully Flowering Ephemera pack...when I first layed it on the card front it didn't seem to pop--it looked fine but didn't pop. I cut a small piece of white cardstock and layered that below the flower and poof! It popped.
Then I decided to add a bit of greenery to really enhance the focal point so I took a piece of greenery (also from the Fully Flowering pack), cut it into 2 pieces, and layered them behind the flower--one on each side.
Now the greeting--nabbed that from the Saying Something Ephemera pack and adhered that immediately below the flower.
Then nothing is finished unless it has some glimmer so we added 3 rhinestones in a vertical line in the lower right corner--and we are finished. Five minutes max, right?
I'll give you step by step directions for today's project below followed by the supply list.
Stop by Thursday to see what we're creating with this set!
