Hello Creative Friends!
Last night before I finally went to sleep, I asked the fans of my “Planet Creative Studios” Facebook page who was up for a creative challenge… I had one person of 37 fans who “liked” the idea (LOL), so here is your challenge. This is your inspiration for today:
Remember the post about card maps and sketches? This is an easy sketch! It consists of five 1-3/8″ squares punched from Designer Series Paper and one 1-1/4″ square punched from a neutral card stock (Whisper White). Square punches make this card a snap to make. I used two square punches from Stampin’ Up! – the 1-1/4″ and the 1-3/8″ since they layer so nicely. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to give a little lift to the focal point/center image. I made this card a while ago, so although the Designer Series Papers (DSP) (I got free when I placed an order as the hostess) you see here have taken their place in the retired products hall of fame, there are many more DSPs available. You will need a card base; Whisper White was used in this sample, a small stamp image and a greeting. Voila! A simple card that can be mass-produced for everyone on your Thank You card to do list. This design is also great for making card sets to give as a gift.
