Easy Card Gift Idea Day Three



I love making cards...it is what I started with - what I really love to do!  I love EASY cards...  I am not one to sit down and make a one of a kind card that might take me hours on end...  Give me something easy so that when I am done, it looks good, and didn't take me forever to create it!  With these two cards, I made a simple note card and a Thanks a bunch card...here is the supply list for all 3 days worth of projects:

Supplies I used:
  • For the "file" - 8.5 x 11 sheet of cardstock
  • Background paper - 4 different coordinating paper
  • 4 cards w/envelopes
  • Border punch
  • Embossing powder - clear and white
  • Ink pad - brown and white
  • Brad
  • 3D flowers
  • Stamps - flower, basket, various sayings
  • Crimper (if you have one)
  • 3D dots
Directions Note card:
Step one:  Start with the background colors - the brown, then two of the colors. Adhere to the card.
Step two:  Using a border punch, use it down each of the sides. Adhere to the card.
Step three:  From day one, add the basket to the card, and then 2 of the flowers as well.  3D dot the other two flowers.

Directions Thinking of You card:
Step one:  Use brown for the background, and then the flower background paper.   Adhere to the card.
Step two:  Adhere the first background paper to the card.
Step three:  Stamp in brown a "Thanks" type of saying, embossing in clear powder.
Step four:  Add a 3D flower to the top left corner with a brad in the middle.

I really enjoyed this card pack, and can't wait to see what you come up with from this basic idea!  The directions for the file folder is here - and the directions for day two cards are here!  Thanks for stopping by - and enjoy the project!
