Ten Minute Monday

This card doesn't get much easier- stamp a few trees, apply rub-on, layer once, apply to card base. Done. I really love these trees, and because I'm a bit of a perfectionist, I had to use my stamp-a-ma-jig with the trunks and tree tops. In the situation, I find it easier to stamp the tree tops first, then use the SAMJ to line the trunks up just so. Supplies: Stamps: Trendy Trees Ink: Ripe Avocado, Dark Chocolate Paper: Whisper White, Dark Chocolate, Ripe Avocado Accessories, etc.: Chit Chat rub-on

Fall to Layout #30

I flipped the sketch to accommodate the direction of the stripes of my patterned paper. This was a quick and easy card - I used left over paper from a previous card. The patterned paper and the buttons are from Making Memories - Chloe's Closet. The card stock, ribbon and sentiment are from PaperTrey Ink. Supplies: Stamps - PaperTrey Ink; Ink - PaperTrey Ink; Paper - PaperTrey Ink, Making Memories; Misc - Buttons, Ribbon

Fall-to Layout #30

I kept things extremely simple this week. I just received some new patterned paper, so this layout is all about showing that off!

Some basic measurements for you, if you like: the patterned paper part is 4.25x4, leaving 1.5 inches for the rest of the card base to fill. I placed my ribbon on the patterned side, not in the middle. It doesn't really matter where you place that dividing strip though.

Supplies: Stamps: Floral Frenzy Ink: Bahama Blue, Spring Rain, Paris Dusk Paper: Pacific Point, Good Morning Sunshine Accessories, etc.: Satin Ribbon, corner rounder

Ten Minute Monday

This card took about 5 minutes to make. I wanted a simple image that I could use a button with so I could also use the card for the CAS02 challenge on SCS today, which was to use a button on a CAS card. The actual balloon on this image is heart shaped - so I used a heart shaped button. I purposely left off a sentiment as this can be used for a valentine, anniversary card or just an I love you card for my DH! Supplies: Stamp - Sandra Boynton; Ink - Versafine Onyx Black; Paper - PaperTrey Stampers Select; Misc - button
