Quick & Easy



Good Day! Are you as excited as I am that it's October? It's finally time for hoodies and all things pumpkin! 

Today over at Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration, we are sharing ideas for quick and easy cards. Here is mine: 



Obviously it doesn't need a lot of explanation and it was pretty quick and very easy! It does feature the cheapest tool I own: my hands! Tearing can give you an added feature quickly and without a bunch of spiffy gadgets. 

The supplies I used are:
Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Early Espresso, Whisper White
Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Early Espresso (just the names of those colors scream fall!)
Stamps: Label Love, A Round Array
Punches: Artisan Label, 7/8" Scallop Circle
Washi Tape: Season of Style, Witches' Brew, Epic Day

Thanks for stopping by today. Be sure to visit the other designers to see their Quick & Easy ideas. Don't forget to pin the card for later inspiration!

Before you go, please share with me what your favorite thing about fall is.

Swap Breakdown Day 3- 3x3 card

3x3 cards a great to have on hand to write a little thank you on for a dear friend, co-worker, or maybe a love note to your sweetie. Also, think about how great they'd be to carry a few in your purse to give out as a Random Act of Kindness.

The layout for this card was what I'd designed for the M&T at my new catalog open house at the end of May. Except our M&T was just a 3x3 tag and not a full card.
I had wanted to feature new products at that open house, and this card is 100% new products.
What is your favorite new product?

Layering punched images with our punches is one of my favorite techniques to add a little pop to a card. So what do I do when one of our punches does not have a coordinating bigger punch, such as the Artisan Label? I faux layer it! I cut the punched layer in half and then glue it peeking out a little at the top and bottom.
