Make a 5 Minute Card? Yep – You Sure Can!

Today I'm going to show you how to make a five minute card that doesn't look like it took you only five minutes.  It looks like it'll take you a whole lot longer but I promise you from cutting to completion, you will be done in under five minutes.

You know those situations where you need a card like yesterday for an occasion. This is the one to go to every single time.

Why, because we're only using two colors of card stock, one stamp set, one ink pad, and two markers. That's it!

You don't need any specialty tools, fancy equipment, or advanced stamping knowledge.

The Project

Let me share this project with you.

The Supplies

To make this card, you will need just a handful of supplies. Here's an awesome list to help you out with that.  To order these few supplies, all you have to do is click on the image below. Now be sure to use the host code to go on with it so you get more tutorials from me as a special thank you.  And don't forget it's Sale-a-Bration time, at the time of this writing, which means free stamps!

AND when you place a $75 order between 8-27 & 8-29 and you use the host code below, I will DOUBLE the number of free tutorials you get! 

Instead of 6, I have 12 headed your way!!!

Make a 5 Minute Card

To make this card, I recommend starting by stamping your hearts first.  Stamp them in a random pattern – twist and turn your stamp while stamping. Then fill in any gaps of spaces with your sentiments. Next, take your blends – or markers your choice – and simply do some rough coloring. Rough coloring is a technique that I teach in Stamping Family, this is it in its most basic form.

All it means it's we're roughly coloring in the different images.  Like I said, there's other ways that we can rough color and do more with it, this is it its most simple form.

Then you layer it onto a piece of Smoky Slate card stock and then on to your Basic White card base.

And just like that, my friends, you're done! You have very little cleanup to do, and you're ready to pop this bad boy into an envelope and send it off.

One of the things I hear from papercrafters all the time is how long it actually takes to make a card. By the time you get out your supplies to the time you cut everything to the making, and then the actual cleanup (if we actually do the cleanup – let's be honest) can take a long time.

But this card is an easy win, that you can actually make in five minutes.

Thank You
