This card is so quick and easy, it doesn’t need a lot of explanation.  Three easy steps and ten minutes are all it takes to bring this card to completion.

Here are the paper measurements:  Night of Navy cardstock (5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″); Whisper White cardstock (scraps); Come Sail Away Memories & More card (trimmed to 5-1/4″ x 4″)

1.  Score the Night of Navy cardstock at 4-1/4″.  Fold and crease to form the card base.

2.  Trim the Memories & More card down to 5-1/4″ x 4″.  Wrap Night of Navy/Sahara Sand Baker’s Twine twice around the bottom of the card and tie in a bow. Adhere to the card base using dimensionals.

floral all occasion cardI needed a quick and easy card for this week, and I am glad I had the Memories & More card pack.  Everyone needs to have these on hand for card emergencies.   My husband and I were getting ready for our next little adventure – a trip to Canada to show GQ in the Boxer Club of Canada’s national show.  I had so many things to do before I left, including getting this card completed and this post written.  Yep…every once in awhile I need “quick and easy”.  How about you?
