Quick and easy 10 minute rubber stamped cards!

These cards were SOOOOO easy to make and yet they look like I put a lot of work into them!

The first tip is to buy those $1.00 packs of pretty lil' blank cards with corresponding envelopes you see in the Michael's and Target $1 Spot bins. Then craft it up!



On this card I stamped our Happy Anniversary rubber stamp on white card stock then trimmed it. Then I double stick taped it on to a piece of red card stock which I punched some star shapes from. (Got the punch from the dollar spot too!) I double stick taped that onto the card along with some more of those lil' stars, stamped a flower on the envelope, and voila'... DONE!

On this card I stamped our Coffee Shop rubber stamp onto some white card stock. I punched a few of those star shapes out of the edges, along with some small holes I made with a hole punch. I colored the edge insides of the holes and traced a few lines of the rubber stamped image with markers for accent. Then I edged the piece of card stock with green dye ink via a sponge and double stick taped it on. I taped a few more star punches and a ribbon on the bottom, stamped a flower the envelope, and within 10 minutes, this one was DONE too!

Fun and easy for that last minute birthday party or anniversary you need a card for! :)

Card and Tip for today!

Manly Retro Coffee Shop Card

The stamps on this card are our Coffee Shop - 475G, Retro Antennae Design - N68B, and Retro Star - N71C. What I did first was cut a piece of white card stock square. I stamped the retro designs on the background with black and green dye ink. Then on another sheet of yellow card stock, I stamped the coffee shop with black dye ink. I cut the edges of this with a dull cutter blade and then taped this to a piece of green card stock, which I also cut with a dull blade. I taped the ribbon to the card and then taped the coffee shop on top of that.

TIP:

If your double stick tape doesn't want to hold the ribbon, you can always melt it with a standard hair straightener. Just hold the heated up iron on your card for about 10 seconds, or less if it's super hot. It will melt your ribbon on to your card, straight! Just be sure to designate a hair straightener for crafts as you probably don't want melted tape in your hair! :)
