masculine cards, quick cards

Hi

I had to make a card for a male friend’s 40th birthday on the weekend.  And, in classic Caro style, I literally had 5 minutes to do it! 

  
Cutting card stock to 26 X 13cm makes a square card that fits Stampin’ Up! Square envelopes, and a 12.5 X 12.5 cm bit of paper made the card rest of the card.  Happy Birthday was stamped with the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set, and punched with the word window and modern label punches.  The card stock was Island Indigo. 

Go to woah in 5 minutes – gotta be happy with that!

bow punch board, quick cards, using up scraps

Hi

On the weekend I found a bit of time to make some cards.  I pulled out my gift bow punch and decided to make some cards using up my scrap stash.  Here is one with a plain bow:

  
Cute, but I decided it wasn’t quite pretty enough, so back to the stash for some “bling” and voila!

  
   
 
Cute quick cards that took about 5 mins each to put together.  

Thanks for reading đŸ™‚

Quick and easy cards

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?

Thanks for reading.
