Make A Card:10 items or less

Hello Crafters!

Us three chicks decided to start a series on our Blog. We haven't decided what we should call it officially...so lets start it off with Make a card in 10 items or less!

This is especially good for those of you new in making cards or crafting in general. Today we have a card made not only with 10 items or less but also under 10 minutes. Cool, right? Yeah, we think so. Here are the two cards made with one sheet of colored cardstock and some stickers:


Stickers.  Who doesn't love them?  So grab your favorite set of stickers and follow along to see how you can make yourself a cute card or two.
Here we are using a sheet of stickers that have some bright happy colors.  So I pulled out a sheet of your standard size colored cardstock.  Now we cut our cardstock in half.  By doing this we now have two card bases, which equals two cards. 


Next, let's pull out a stamp.  I used this Impression Obsession background stamp but any stamp would work with this.  I just stamped the card base with green ink.  By doing that you get a tone-on-tone look.  Gives us a little something for the background.  I only did this on one of the cards.   I even pulled out one of my border punches to give it a little "something".


 When I work with stickers I like to stick them on black cardstock and then cut around them.  Just because it gives the stickers a nice border and helps them to stand out.  Notice how I did that with this Hello Sticker.


Are you keeping track of the supplies we are using so far?  Just a few more things used for these cards:


Yah!  How much more simple can it get?  With just a few supplies we were able to make everyday cards for everyday people or as one of our Chicks (Hannah) says: Sticker-rific cards..ha ha

Thank you for visiting us today!
