Create a Stack of Stunning, Quick Cards in a Flash

Today I decided to share a card kit I received in a recent training. Sometimes I like to get surprise projects in the mail too. I hope you’ll laugh with me; it took more time for me to select the pattern to use than it did to make the cards. And it didn’t matter – any pattern will turn out gorgeous! If you would like to create beautiful cards quickly and easily, follow along. This paper can simplify your cardmaking.

The New Horizons Suite is amazing! And there are so many other stampsets you can add if you want to mix it up. I can’t believe I’ve been playing with it for weeks, and I haven’t even used the dies yet! Don’t worry; we will get there for BINGO on March 4. This suite is perfect for every level stamper. Everyone can be an artist. Everyone can create a stack of simple, stunning cards in a manner of minutes.

I hope you enjoy today’s video and cards. I’d love to hear your story. Are you like me? I almost always copy the original design very closely before trying another version. Do you see possibilities immediately when you pick up a stampset, bundle, or designer series paper? If you share a bit of your story you might receive some happy mail.

Confession

This video could have been shorter. I could have selected the patterns before we started. It took a hot minute to find my mojo. I stumbled with the concept of cutting 3.25 squares; I’ve been cutting the paper 3×3 and getting 4 cards from each sheet. Sometimes it’s hard to chop it up! I have a block about wrapping ribbon around and creating a bow. It might just be me. You’ll see me struggle a bit until I figured out to make a cheater bow. I added a photo of the steps for my bow. (Just in case you have the same challenge I have.)

Basic Thick White card bases 4.25 x 11, scored at 5.5
Misty Moonlight layer or Basic Black layer 3 3/8 x 3 3/8
DSP 3.25 x 3.25
Misty Moonlight or Memento Black ink

Which one is your favorite? I didn’t expect the one with the petal pink bow to be my favorite, but it is.
