Quick & Easy Card Layout! - Tina Zinck, Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

Hi Friends! Today I’m sharing a very easy card layout, but it’s one of my favourites. When I need to make a card in a hurry, or if I need to make a lot of cards in one swoop, I always seem to go to this layout. No matter what colours and stamps used, the cards look terrific!

Measurements

Whisper
White: 8 ½” x 5 ½” , ½” x 4 ¼”
Petal
Pink: 5 ¼” x 1 ¼”
Crumb

Balmy
Blue: 5 ¼” x 1 ¼”

Instructions:

Fold
8 ½” x 5 ½” Whisper White card stock to create base.
Ink

stock.
Ink
sandollar image with Crumb Cake and stamp randomly over Crumb Cake
card stock.
Ink
seahorse image with Balmy Blue and stamp randomly over Balmy Blue
card stock.
Glue
stamped card stock strips onto front of card, leaving a slight gap in between each piece.
Cut a scrap piece of Whisper White card stock that measures 4 1/4″ x 1″ and stamp sentiment with Crumb Cake ink. Adhere to the front of card.

* This is the design that I used for last night’s Mystery Stamping Hour too – which was a TON of fun! Thanks to everyone who joined in – I hope you had a great time and I am already looking forward to our next “Mystery Stamping Hour”!

Here are a couple more samples, using the same card layout:

For this card, I used the “Sailing Home” stamp set, Balmy Blue ink pad and card stock, as well as the 1 1/2″ circle punch for the sentiment.

Colours used were Crumb Cake, Petal Pink and Old Olive. I used the beautiful new “Ornate Style” stamp set for the background. The sentiment is from the “Country Home” stamp set, which I cut using the Everyday Label Punch.
