Quick & Easy Tuesdays

Hello! At least once a month, on Tuesdays, I offer a "Quick & Easy" project class in my studio. So I thought I would start sharing these simple and easy projects on my blog, every Tuesday!

Today's card was inspired by a sketch over at Paper Craft Crew and I'm actually entering this card into their challenge PCC234. Check it out:

To keep this card quick and simple, I searched through my scrap drawer and mixed and matched pieces of DSP - Designer Series Paper, making sure to keep them in tones of blues and greens.

The splatter on the card layer was created with the Gold Wink of Stella Glitter Brush - I simply knocked it on a clear block until I got the look I wanted. Next, I added a strip of DSP, tearing the bottom edge for more texture. The Glitter Paper is from the FREE pack you can earn until March 31st (or while supplies last). The flagged banners are scraps also and were flagged with the Banner Tripple Punch. I created the flower with a couple of retired scalloped circle punches - haphazardly layering three together with a glitter center. I tucked the sentiment in behind before gluing & chose the greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Lastly, I added another strip of glitter paper along the inside edge, because who wouldn't love opening this card to see more glimmer?!

Until next time, stay crafty!

Here is the sketch I used for this card:

Lost and Found!!

Happy "hump day"! Don't you just love when you find some money in a purse or jacket that you haven't used in a while?! Well, a couple of weeks ago, I found a box of items that I had prepped to either use on cards, or, I had card fronts ready to assemble. I did a little happy dance when I found this box because everything was done for me, I just had to use it to design a card. :)

In the box, I found a bunch of Whisper White card fronts that had "congratulations" embossed in silver and then a bunch of sheets with flowers that were already heat embossed in a mix of gold and silver embossing powder. After a bit of thinking, this card came together pretty fast. I punched out all the flowers with the Pansy Punch & coordinating stamp set and then popped them up on the card front after wrapping it with some Gold Metallic Thread.

I added another flower and some more thread to the inside and my card was complete. Super simple, but thankful that I found this box of stuff!

Here's a better look at the dimension and shimmer this card has (though, I'm sorry the lighting was a bit dim!).

Hope you enjoyed this bit of inspiration.

Until next time, stay crafty!
