Here is still another card we are making tonight for the "angel program" where a group of volunteers come together to make cards for Breast Cancer patients in treatment! We do this the 1st Wednesday of the month and not only is it fun….it is rewarding!

I have to come up with very simple designs as many of the people that come to assemble the cards….do not know a thing about card making…they simply love to come out and do something great for our community!

I often get asked,"Why do you take this on each month and donate all of the supplies etc…" – SIMPLE   = I know 1st hand from losing my Mom to cancer how much a card meant…and also, this is a gift of my time and energy to give back to our community!

Now…this is such a sweet card, and…E A S Y !!! So clean, fresh and crisp with a minimal amount of supplies…Here you go…

  • Base is standard A-2 card of Whisper White.
  • I am SOOOO glad that the Polka Dot Parade Paper is carried over to this year….so fun! The Marina Mist was cut to 5 1/2' X 2" and then matted with Daffodil Delight to 5 1/2' X 2 1/4"
  • Using the new Label Love Stamp Set, I simply stamped the "just for you" in Marina Mist and then POPPED it out using the Artisan Label Punch…sooo darn easy!
  • Naturally, the Stampin Vitamins….Stampin' Dimensionals came out of full force to pop this sentiment! ( can NEVER have too many of these gems!!!)
  • The mats for the label are White 1 3/4" X 2 1/4" and the Daffodil Delight is 2 1/2" X 2"

  • Trying to keep it clean…I thought pulling out the Simply Scored was all that it needed….( please click on the pictures to make it large if you need to!!!) – I scored 2 simple lines on the top and bottom! ( it doesn't get any easier than that….right????)
  • Presto….a simple lining for the envelope on the Polka Dots is all this card needed to be a 1-2-3…DONE….simple card!

I know that this card is about as basic as you could ever get…BUT…it also is as cute as you could ever get! Keeping things clean,simple, straight-forward is just as beautiful as a "fru-fru" card and we ALL know we DO like making cards that are a challenge to us, but today's card is truly a F A S T card to whip up!

Again, just like yesterday's post….this card is one card to "keep the style" in the back of your creative head – why??? = SIMPLE – there are many, MANY times that we simply do not have a ton of time to re-create the wheel…just duplicate this style – switch up the stamps and paper….D O N E !!!!

Remembering…ordering simply can not be any easier…click here and you can order your little heart away while being in your jammies…having a cup of coffee….and the best thing is – it gets delivered right to your door! How easy!

Update on the deer….."Bucky" is doing GREAT and is with 5 other "orphanage" friends…he is eating and having fun  – he will be at his foster home until he is about 4-6 months old and then he will be put out in a Wildlife Preserve….back to nature where is needs to be!

I hope that today's post put a smile on your face and I hope that you have a fabulous day!

Until tomorrow…..
