Kids cards, Star Wars cards, Star Wars Punch Art

Hello

My 6 year old and all his friends are obsessed with Star Wars at present. There are a couple of Padawan birthdays coming up over next few weeks so I’ve been looking for some quick Star Wars cards to make.

Here they are in order of simplicity!!!

The lightsabers are made with the word window and jewellery punches. The Death Star is a print out sized to fit my 1 3/4 inch circle punch. (I made it for this yoda card I made a few months ago).

The next one is basically the same but with the child’s name in Star Wars font – check out the cool tool at logo54.com/movie/starwars

I’m not sure you can really file the next card under “quick” but it was still pretty easy! And still didn’t take more than 10 minutes.

Darth Vader and Obi Wan are made from the owl punch. Vader’s face is the owl’s vest turned upside down with some black fake pearls for eyes.

I made the cape with the curly label punch turned on its side and trimmed off at the sides:

I hope you enjoyed reading this. And here’s hoping the little Jedis enjoy them too!

I know, Fathers’ Day was over a month ago now, but I just realised that I never posted a picture of the card I made for Dad this year. This only makes sense if you’re a Star Wars fan!

Thanks for reading.

I’m pleased to report I’m not sick anymore, so have found much less time to colour in lately. I did manage to finish one off tonight though:

I used some new textas I bought on the weekend. They are very bright!

Thanks for reading.

cards with fluoro textas, Kids cards, quick and easy cards

My son had a birthday party today and the theme was “fluoro”. This is the card I came up with by making a background with fluoro textas and then writing the birthday boy’s name in black Sharpie over the top:

Very simple, but he seemed to like it 🙂

I think if I were going to make another one like this I think I’d use a darker background, but this is what Mr 6 picked so we rolled with it!

Thanks for reading.

But wait, there’s more! (colouring in)

I’ve still been doing a lot of resting on the couch the last few days, so of course have been doing some more colouring in. Here’s the latest efforts!

decorated notebooks, using up scraps

I was well enough to get back to work yesterday and after being in such a crafty zone the last few days I looked at a notepad on my desk and had to do something about it before I could possibly start work 😉

There, that’s better!

Yet another piece of paper from my stash has found a good home 🙂

craft ideas for using up scraps, gift card holder, quick and easy gift card holder

If you’ve been reading my blog the past week you’ll know I’ve been working my way through my pile of spare card stock and designer series paper to make some cards using my scraps and offcuts.

I came across some pretty strips of paper and some envelopes – perfect for making my favourite quick and easy gift card holders!

I did a post a while ago showing you how to make these in detail. But these are seriously the quickest and cutest idea for gift giving ever!

Take any size envelope, fold it in half, cut the flap in half, stick down one side, decorate and you’re done!

A card, present and wrapping all in one cute little package!

Thanks for reading.

corner rounder punch, quick cards, using up scraps

When I was rummaging through my stash of saved scrap paper the other day I came across some designer series paper I’d previously cut into the perfect shape to go on a card front. I have no idea what I was planning to do with them originally, but a few minutes with a corner rounder punch and some ribbon and ta da!

At about 2-3 minutes a card, what could be easier?!?

Thanks for reading.

cheap simple cardmaking, ideas for scrap paper, quick cards

Hands up if you have a box of old paper scraps, embellishments you bought in a discount bin because they’d be useful one day etc etc? I certainly do!

When I was rummaging through my stash yesterday making some cards out of punched out colouring in, I also came across a few scraps of paper, flowers and buttons I decided to turn into cards at the same time.

Here are a few:

What have you got lying around you could turn into a quick card?
