Well we all know that life is busy…..sometimes crazy busy. It doesn’t leave much time for us to express our creativity but it’s important to carve that time out every now and then to destress & do what we love. If you make several cards of the same design, you will save loads of time.
Here’s a way to get lots of wonderful cards made using only a small amount of time.
Night 1….. choose your card stock, designer series paper {if you are using it}, stamp set (s), any thinlits / punches you plan on using and embellishments you will need. Now, create a Pinterest board and select some cards for inspiration. If you have some extra time, cut out several card bases {5.5 x 4.25″}, some 4″ x 5.25″ sheets of designer series paper & some 5 x 3.75″ Whisper White card pieces for the verses inside the cards. It’s a great idea to put this stuff in a container, so it will be easily accessible for the next free moment you get.
Night 2…… you can make some die cuts with your punches and/or thinlits and stamp sentiments on them. This is where you can change up the cards a little by just stamping different sentiments on each die cut. You can also stamp some verses on your 5 x 3.75″ Whisper White card stock. By using the Stamparatus, stamping is super easy and time efficient! You can stamp lots of versus or sentiments without using different clear blocks. This will also save you lots of time.
Night 3…..tonight you are ready to assemble. Attach die cuts, embellishments, doilies or anything else you’d like to add to your designer series paper. Attach your designer series paper to the card base. Glue the 5 x 3.75″ verse cards inside and voila….you’ve made a bunch of cards using only a stolen moment here and there.
p.s. As a side note, I highly recommend ordering coordinating supplies. Do you see a designer series paper that you just “have to have’? Well ordering the coordinating stamp set, card stock, and any embellishments you might want makes card making so much easier and way less frustrating. Spending hours searching for materials that match is very time consuming and takes the fun out of creating.
No go forward and see what you can create! Leave me a message and let me know how your card making is going and if any of my tips help you!
Cheers & have the greatest of days!
Sometimes we don’t need a whole lot of doo dads to make a great card. Playing around with ink can really add a wow factor to your cards.
Well, it’s been so long since I blogged! Life has been busy and I must admit, I haven’t scrapbooked in quite a long time BUT I have been busy making cards!
