Hello Stampin’ Friends ….
Holy cow, I can’t believe it is Friday again! Don’t get me wrong, I love Fridays … especially when I have off of work until Tuesday! Wooo hooo. I’ll be busy in my stampin’ studio working on my upcoming retreat.
Fridays mean “Fast -n- Furious” cards, and what better way to make a quick card than to grab a bunch of scraps. First let me say that I got my inspiration from “Pinterest”.
I was looking at a few boards and this object caught my eye … it was a board full of “quilting” designs … that’s when the light bulb above my head went on!
What a wonderful way to use up my scraps. This card was super simple to make … I simply cut some scrap pieces of designer paper – 1-1/4″ x 4″. I used the “Gingham Garden” Designer Series Paper.
Since my designer paper had 4″ length … I cut my Whisper White base into a 4″ x 4″ square.
A simple trick to make sure you pieces are centered is to place your base onto your Stampin’ Up! Grid Paper. I love this not just because it’s your stamp pad, but the grid make aligning your projects easy peasy … there’s room for notes, and you’ll always have a ruler handy!
I added a bit of adhesive at the 2″ mark and then aligned my strips of scrap. Did the same for the bottom section. When your laying down the strips, one goes over … one goes under. Super Simple. Then you just adhere the ends.
I picked the Perfectly Penned stamp set because I thought it works well with the feel of the card. Besides, who doesn’t love that font!! It’s done using the Craft White ink and the White embossing powder.
So today’s fast -n- furious card is just a bit of cutting, aligning, and then embossing your greeting. Items used to create this card will be found at the end of my blog. Clicking on the item will direct you to my website where you can view the product more closely or to make a purchase.
