Weekends tend to be very busy for my family. I decided to devote today (and likely more Saturdays in the future) to a very simple and quick project–something that uses minimal supplies and can be accomplished in a hurry, between grocery shopping, swim meets, laundry, running to the bank, yard work–are we on the same page?
STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:
- I get tremendous mileage out of my single color Patterns Designer Series Paper. The mix and match patterns of Dusty Durango Designer Paper pull these 3 x 3 mini cards together in a snap.
- The Extra Large Fancy Flower Punch cropped out an instant bloom. Woo hoo! The punch is still available for purchase as part of the Occasions Mini Carryover List.
- Trendy Trees stamp set makes a subtle appearance via the sentiment and the swirl stamp (on the envelope and in the flower center).
- Add a touch of 3-D. Stampin' Dimensionals (I rarely make a card without them) pop up the sentiment and flower center.
