Let’s make it Quick!

Hello everyone!! It’s Tina here!!

If you are like me, you always are doing things at the last minute!! So, I thought it might be a fun idea to show you some “make it quick” cards using the brand new SYMBOLS set of stamps!!

Each one of these took less than 10 minutes to make!!! You can dress them up more, or make them as simple as you like!!

Here we go!!

Supplies:

Scraps of paper ( i used all the same line in these 3 cards)

Cardstock for base

Circle punch, border punch, corner rounder

Tule, lace, ribbon, flower…

Embossing powder, beads

THANK YOU

For this simple card, I simply used one pattern for the bottom half of the card… used my border punch for a trim on another piece. Then added Tule, a flower and my stamps! Rounded the bottom edge…

To achieve this stamped look, I stamped the Heart from the SYMBOLS set first in pink. I outlined it in pink with a glitter pen. Then I stamped my sentiment in green! So simple!!

HAVE A GREAT DAY

For this card, I cut my cardstock base in a rectangle to add interest. The Patterned paper was cut slightly smaller, rounding 2 edges. Again, i added a strip with one edge trimmed using my border punch. Stamp… add ink and you’re all set!

Gor this stamped image, I stamped the coffee cup from the Symbols set onto white cardstock. I then cut it out using my circle punch, inked the edges to match my flower. I adhered the stamped image to the flower, and the flower to the page. Did the same with the sentiment… but chose a rectangular shape… To complete the card, I inked the outside edges  in pink.

HAPPY DAY

This final card is another quickie, but has a few more techniques in it to try! I cut out 9 circles using my circle punch.  I chose a solid circle for the center.  I positioned the outside 8 circles to the card with a small amount of glue and then stitched them down with my machine!

For the stamped image, I stamped the circle from the SYMBOLS set onto matching cardstock using VERSA MARK ink, and added some embossing powder to it!! I heat set it using my heat gun and them cut it out using my circle punch. I stamped the cupcake from the SYMBOLS set in brown in the center of the circle. I then used Dimensional pearls in white to make the icing! While it was wet, I added some beads… looks good enough to eat!!

I also heat embossed the sentiment using the same technique onto white cardstock and mounted it onto the card. Embossing powder was from PK Glitz!

So there you have less than 1/2 an hour’s work… and 3 simple cards to show from it!!

All sentiments were taken from the MENTION IT stamp set.

Can’t wait to see what YOU can do in 1/2 hr!!
