Have you ever sat down to make a card and you knew you didn't have a lot of time and it just came together like 1-2-3? Well this is all about this card and I think it is super cute! There are several things that I love about it…

~It uses minimal supplies

~It is super clean and simple

~It is easy to mass produce

~It's just fun to sponge circles and stamp here and there!!!

~ and…miracles do happen, just believe!

I am getting ready to make a bunch of cards with some great volunteers for our local Breast Cancer Organization and as I have been thinking of cards that would be quick and easy but of course… super beautiful ~ this just spoke to me! It is basically using a bunch of the circle punches and randomly punching out a template (I used a heavier piece of cardboard for the template) You can see below how the template looks and you can see I just used a sponge to make the image! The sizes of circles that I choose are: 1 3/4", 1 1/4", 1", 3/4", 1/2" (page #184 in catalog)

TIP: when making your template…make it 1/4" larger than your card stock you are working with!

I have not used the Scallop Trim Border Punch for a long time and I thought this added the perfect touch to the bottom edge of the body of the card! You can use a minimal piece of paper along that bottom edge and that little touch gives it a special flair! The stamp set is from the Sale-A-Bration catalog and it can be your for FREE…click here and simply purchase $50.00 and you can choose from 19 different products! This offer is ending March 22nd! After layering it over a piece of Melon Mambo Card Stock, I used Stampin' Dimensionals to lift it up for some depth! The finale of my card is the clean and bold liner of the envelope…It is a fun pattern from the Sunshine & Sprinkles Designer Paper which is in the Spring Catalog!
