5 Minute Mondays

I’m back with another super quick card to share with you and a super short post, perfect to start a busy week with 🙂 It’s really all about the DSP today, such a quick and easy way to add pattern and colour with just a few cuts.

The layout for this card was inspired this week’s Fab Friday 139 sketch, such a simple design with so many possibilities, just right for quick and easy cards.

I used a piece of Nature’s Poem DSP layered on a Crumb Cake card base for the background of my card. It’s cut at 10 x 14.3cm, which is a standard layer size and  adhered flat.

I used my new favourite, the Stitched Labels Framelits, to die cut a “doily” element from Mint Macaron cardstock. You could make this even faster by adhering a pre-made doily instead, but as my Big Shot is always ready to use it takes me very little time to cut out a basic shape.

The sentiment is from Dragonfly Dreams and was stamped in Tranquil Tide ink on a 1/2″ strip of Whisper White cardstock. I added a 3/8″ wide strip of Tranquil Tide cardstock behind and staggered the trimmed ends.

This was popped up over a few leaves punched from Vellum using the Lemon Builder Punch and a sprinkle of the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls finished it off.

I promised you quick and easy and I think I delivered 🙂  You could make this project even faster by using a pre-made doily and leaving off the leaves or you could step it up with another cardstock layer under the DSP and more decorative elements around the sentiment.

Cheers,
Karen
