Fast Friday

I really like the fast, simple cards.  At swaps, in magazines, I'm always drawn to the clean lines and uncluttered look of a simple card.  It's just a bonus that these are typically fast and easy cards also.  So today I wanted to show you a really quick put together I found on Pinterest.   (I think it was pinterest.  It may have been on another of the many sites I visit regularly. ;-T) Anyway, its a great layout.  It can easily be adapted for any sentiment or season depending on what colors you choose.

I love this card!! I can't tell you exactly how long it took because I tend to measure time in songs-played. I know, I'm weird.  This card took about 3 songs to make.  That includes cutting paper, choosing the stamp set and choosing colors.  And if you know how long it takes for me to make a decision these days, you can really appreciate how quick that was! ;-) 

I used Crumb Cake for a base and stamped my Happy Birthday, (from Sweet Cake in the Occasions Mini,) in Early Espresso ink onto Very Vanilla.  Then I just added some scraps in Cherry Cobbler, More Mustard, Garden Green, Not Quite Navy, and more Crumb Cake.  Super easy!

Hope you enjoy! Until tomorrow...

I originally began my paper crafting as a scrapbooker.  I love going through old pictures and remembering all the fun times I've had with family and friends.  Using stamps in scrapbooking is great because you can customize your background to exactly the style and color you want.  Not to mention how very cost effective stamping is! 

This was a make and take from Leadership last month in San Antonio.  It started out as an 8x8 page.  Here is the original page:

I used the Blossom Builders Designer Printed Kit and Brights Designer Buttons to make a pretty garden to frame the photo.  I love all the flower options in this kit.  You can layer and layer to customize your flower to be as elaborate as you want it.  For the background I used the gorgeous Twitterpated Designer Series Paper and then stamped a flower from the Mixed Bunch Stamp Set in Baja Breeze ink onto Baja Breeze card stock.

Of course, I don't really scrapbook in 8x8 pages so I had to build it up to a 12x12 to fit into my album.  Here's the finished product:

I think it turned out way cute.  I just added the Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive card stock with a few of the Mixed Bunch flowers stamped all over. 

Remember, you can order your own supplies to make this very same project any time at www.funstampinwithamy.stampinup.net.  Have fun!

Until tomorrow...
