5 Minute Card

Last week I was assigned to visit some girls in our ward that are less active. Just in case they weren't home, I wanted to leave a little note of encouragement. Or this little card is fun for any time. I used scrapbook supplies I already have and made one in five minutes-seriously 5 minutes.

Supplies:

• Cardstock
• Stamp 
• Stamp ink
• Washi tape
• Edge punch

I always have these packs of paper that are pre-cut because I buy them when they are half price at Jo-Anns or Michaels. If you don't have them, cut your choice of paper (patterned if you'd like; mine was plain) to 4x6 or 4.5x6.5 or what ever size you need. 

 

Then fold it in half.

Next I used a paper edger to trim just the front edge of the card. I am such a cheap scrapbooker that I only have a few paper edgers and this one is my favorite so use whatever one is your favorite.

I love, love, love the one dollar bins at Jo-Anns because I can find these tiny rubber stamps. I chose to use a simple 'hello' stamp. Use whatever stamp you like/need to convey your message. For these cards, we used them to invite girls to our ward and make them feel welcome. 

So get that little message stamped on there with some basic ink in whatever color you'd like.

I am going to admit it-yes; I am still new to the washi tape bandwagon so I am still looking for ways to incorporate such fun colors and prints into projects. I picked out three colors I liked together and ripped off at varied lengths and placed on the top left corner of the card. I made it overlap so I could trim it to match the crease of the card exactly.  

Trimmy-trim-trim.

And that is it! super fast card for any occasion. For such a long post it really only took me five minutes. I think it took longer deciding which stamp to use haha. And each one ends up totally unique and handmade by you!

Enjoy making quick and simple cards!
