Fabulous, fun, & fast

Fabulous, fun & fast is the technique I used for this card. While it probably didn't take me as long as it may take you to create this card, it is still a quick card to duplicate. before leaving for convention I grabbed a bunch of miscillaneous paper pieces from my scrap bin to challenge myself to create a card from them. I did stamp the whisper white carstock before leaving using the Etruscan Elegance jumbo wheel you will find in the upcoming 2012 Holiday Catalog. You will find it on page 25 with the Halloween marchandise. Let me tell you, I just love this wheel! I knew I had picked out some leftover pieces of Baja Breeze cardstock that was left from some Top Notes we cut out for another card. ( yes I saved them!) I quickly wheeled them and put them in with my other scraps. The birds were stamped in Basic Gray onto Baja Breeze carstock using the Language of Friendship stamp set. I then punche dthem out using our Bird Builder punch. Can you believe I made 64 of these for my masculine swap and then decided not to use them?? You'd think I would have created the card before doing 62 of them but, oh no, I just kept on a going….. Good thing too because this card would never have been created if I didn't make this huge error. The flowers were also left over from a previous club project. Want to see what I came up with?

100_8710Not bad huh? I had also cut out all the framelit frames for ather swap and didn't use them. It's not as bad as it sounds because all the cardstock I used were scraps in my scrap bin and they will be put to use.

I was able to create 10 of these fabulous , fun, & fast cards from the scraps I brought with. Other demos loved this card and commented that they will definately be purchasing the Etruscan Elegance wheel.

Here is a sample using this set.

100_8692The colors I used are: Cajun Craze, Summer Starfruit, Old Olive & Very Vanilla. The images are stamped on Very Vanilla that was cut with the Big Shot Top Note Bigz Die. I also cut a Top Note out of Cajun Craze card stock, cut off the 2 ends at about 1 1/2" and layered this behind the top and bottom of the Very Vanilla Top Note. I then stamped the 3 larger flower images using Summer Starfruit for the more solid image,going over the stem with my Old Olive Stampin' Write Marker. I then used Cajun Craze for the entire outline image. The smaller flowers were inked in Summer Starfruit first then I "rock & rolled" the solid image stamp in Cajun Craze ink. The outline image was then stamped using Cajun Craze. I added butterflies using the Wonderful Wings Embosslit.

100_8693Did you see the tiny "thanks" tag hanging off the Old Olive Dotted Ribbon? It  was created by using our Lovely Little Labels stamp set and then punching it out with the coordinating Little Labels Punch Pack– how esay peasy is that?? I know these 2 products will be used often in my projects!
