Warmest Wishes Set - Noel ~

Fast!  This was a super quick card to make.  Don't you just love cards that are cute, simple and quick as a snap to make?  This is it.  Grab half sheet Old Olive, a layer of Real Red, Designer Series Paper of your liking - this is retired from last year, a scrap of Early Espresso and Run that through your Big Shot using the Tasteful Trim Die, Ink the Noel stamp from the Warmest of Wishes Hostess set (Holiday Mini) with Real Red Classic Ink, punch with the Decorative label Punch, add two tiny brads and whoola!  You have your self a quick, cute and thoughtful because you made it all yourself card! 

This was one of the cards we have made during our monthly Christmas Card Club get-togethers.  I think it is the quickest card yet that I had for the ladies to make.  I really like it. 

Routing through the stash of Designer Series Paper is fun.  I just never know what I'm going to bring up that works for a project.  I find the most common size I use my DSP for is either 4 x 5-1/2 or 3/4 x 5.  When I get a pack I usually start in with cutting up one sheet 4 x 5-1/2 and then if I need 3/4 x 5 I cut it down from there.  That way when I'm scrambling to make a card I can grab one of my pre-cut layers and go at it. It might not work for you but it sure save's me some time.  I do keep one full sheet in case I want to make a sleeve card or need a long piece to run through the Big Shot.  I also like to save all my scraps.  Sometimes I can alter them or layer and use on the card with other coordinating DSP.

Thanks for stopping by!
