Proof in the pudding...today's projects!
Designer Ania Lexander has the perfect idea. While making one card...why not replicate it and make several more out. Supplies are out, your feeling creative...so make a few more to keep on hand for future birthday's, thank you notes and more! Ania chose the Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler along with our GlueArts U Cut It Foam.
Designer Leslie Ashe has a beautiful card that comes to life with embossed stamping! Our Glue Glider Pro with High Tac assures Leslie her elements will stay where she wants them to!

Quick bday-cards for the kids!

My kid is a true son of mine; he can forget that he's gotten a birthday invitation and walk up to me and, hand me an invitation and say "oh by the way, I'm attending XX's birthday in 30 minutes". I've often hurried fixing a quick card & racing to the toy store to find a proper gift before the start of the party...so while I prefer to create each card with a recipient in mind, I realize I need to prepare a few backup-cards for these cases. These stamp-sentiments from Paper Smooches are perfect for such generic cards!
Glue Art Supplies:
Glue Glider Pro - Permatac, U Cut It Foam
Other:
Paper Smooches - Sentiment Sampler
Pink Paislee
Gather some smaller and larger scraps. For such cards, it's not important that they're huge (my kid normally only writes the short sentiment "happy birthday, love XX" in his cards), so it's a great way to use them in my opinion.
Cut all the pieces and adhere with permatac.
I like to add stitches to the pieces, but it's a personal choice.
I'm no stamper, so I needed a few tries to get it right. Once I did, I daresay I rocked these stamps! You can see how stamp #3 finally came out all crisp and bold and great! (I made sure to give several extra pushes to the whole sentiment with my fingers/thumb. I have no idea if this is the right or wrong way to do this - I just know it worked for me
)
Use U Cut It Foam to make these simple, small cards more fun
Voila - four new and pretty quick bday-cards for these occasions when you need one real quick!
