15 Minute Project ... and a "Geometrics" & "Spring" Blog Challenge Entry

Pin It


Today's "15 Minute Project" was created for Allison's "Geometrics" blog challenge. If you've been wanting to participate in a challenge but wanted to start with something easy, this would be a good one for you to start with! I've also submitted this card to the kewl Arty Girlz "Spring" challenge.

This 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" top-folded card was created using DCWV card stock throughout; all of the card stock was embossed and cut into rectangles, then pieced together.

Using some rick-rack, ribbon, and some die cut flower parts, I built a 'flower' ... then die-cut some letters, and stamped a small tag. The tag and the flower were mounted to the card using dimensionals. Easy-peasy and ready to serve in just 15 minutes!

Thanks so much for sharing part of your busy day with me!

~Hugs, Deb

Ingredients: Card Stock, (DCWV); Stamp, My Punny Valentine Add-On Collection (Papertrey Ink); Ink, Palette Hybrid (Stewart Superior); Adhesives, Dimensionals (Fiskars); Rick-rack and Grosgrain Ribbon (Unknown); Die-Cut Machine (Provo Craft); Alphabet, Tag, and Flower Dies (Provo Craft)

ooh, it's soooo beautiful and springy. I wanna come stamp at your house! heehee, you're so fast with the challenges too, I write them down (or print the sketches) and they sit on my table all week until the next ones get posted. I'm terrible! I gotta start doing them ON TIME (on time? what's that?).

nice use of embossing and cutting. Gotta love it when we don't have to stamp too much to get a nice card.
