Quick Card with Nature’s Prints

My last post showed a quick card with Marvelous Nature. I received some great feedback from that very quick card. I thought I’d show more quick cards with the same layout.

The secret? Pick a stamp set that has kind of a large image that has some detail. Avoid cards with “line art.” What’s line art? Think coloring books. The images are outlines with just a few details. They look great when they are colored, but coloring takes time. Let the stamp do the work for you!

You’ll find that Nature’s Prints has a great large image of a fern leaf. The layout is exactly the same as the blue one with Marvelous Nature but a different stamp set and Granny Apple Green card stock and ink. This is simple stamping!

Quick Card with Marvelous Nature

Need a quick card? Please consider the Marvelous Nature stamp set and this layout! My friend Karen and I make cards for people in our church that may need a little extra encouragement. We usually make about 28 cards and it usually takes us a few hours. The day we made this card our time was even more limited, so I planned this quick card. We were both shocked how quickly we got done with these cards!

And you may have noticed I haven’t added any posts or videos the last couple of weeks. I caught Covid about a month ago. I had to cancel my monthly SIP Together class. Even now,I’m finding I need a long nap most days and it’s hard to keep up, much less catch up. I did manage to upload a couple of videos I’d already recorded. So this week I decided to make a video of this card. We all need to have a quick card plan up our sleeves now and then!

Christmas Card Planning

It’s November 10th, as I post this. It’s not too late to make Christmas cards, but you need to get started now. I’ve made a video with some thoughts on planning cards and I’ve created a chart with some rough estimates for the supplies you may need, depending on your design. You’ll also find a card I designed to be quick and thrifty.

Click here if you’d like to print the pdf.

Here is the  Color Coach for the Core Colors and here’s the one for the 2021-2023 and 2022-2024 In Colors. They’re great resources for choosing colors!

Here’s that card I mentioned. It’s a very simple “fancy fold” to make it a bit more interesting. Feel free to swap out the Designer Series Paper, ribbon, greeting. Use a different punch or die for the tag.

Click here for the detailed directions. If you make 48 cards just like this, order the stamp set or use a greeting you already own, the ink, and the punch. You can use these again and again. Order one of each of the consumables except the envelopes. You’ll need 2 packs of envelopes for 48 cards, but you’ll have a lot left over.

I used the regular Basic White card stock, but if you want the Thick Basic White, you’ll need an extra pack. If you prefer the knot (around the C Block I did with the Black & White Plaid ribbon) or an “Air Bow” (like I did with the gold ribbon), you’ll need 2 spools of ribbon.

The consumables come to $57.50, or $1.20 per card.

Festive & Bright

I used the Festive & Bright Bundle for this card, but you could do this layout without the fancy edges for the center section. The layout is very economical! You get four card bases per sheet of Evening Evergreen, twenty-two strips from a sheet of Evening Evergreen, three folded layers with each sheet of Basic …

Quick & Easy Cards

I made nine of these cards (I admit I put more than 9 cards in the photo) in about 15 minutes and that includes all the cutting and scoring! I made 9 cards because that’s how many you can get from just one sheet of 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. They are so quick …
