Welcome to my new series…“Got Ten? Make Twenty“. These are cards that can be made in approximately 10 – 15 minutes with little muss or fuss. They are created using Stampin’ Up!’s 5-1/8″ x 3-5/8″ Note Cards, and are just perfect for sweet little cards when you are short on time but still want to give a hand-made card. Where does the “Make Twenty” part come from? It comes from the fact that there are 20 note cards in a package. And just where is Card #1? It’s right here…Christmas Card Emergency.
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips: Clean and Cute Happy New Year
The finished card measures 5-1/8″ x 3-5/8″.
- Stamp! Three Drinks from the Happy Hour stamp set were inked with Jet Black StazOn and stamped onto Whisper White card stock. They were then snipped out with Paper Snips. Time Saving Tip: Just ink’er up, and stamp right onto the card base.
- Snip! These same images were inked with Rich Razzleberry, Tempting Turquoise and Melon Mambo and stamped onto Whisper White card stock. Just the “liquid” was snipped out and adhered to the first images.
- Sparkle! A single Rhinestone was added to each beverage, and a small strip of Silver Glimmer Paper was adhered to the bottom of the card.
- Sentiment! The word “cheers” was selectively inked from the sentiment “3 Cheers for You” using a Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker and stamped onto Whisper White card stock. It was then punched out with an oval punch and popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
There you have it…cute, quick, and easy-peasy!
Spotlight on Lisa Eisner
Lisa Eisner, of Crafting with Princess Lisa, is well known for her fabulous designs. Besides being super-talented, she is also super sweet. For the past three Christmases, she has surprised me with one of her fabulous three-dimensional creations. Two years ago, she made these adorable “Treat Houses” for the Twins and included a crystal ornament for me.
Last year, it was a cute “Apron Box”, which said “Ann’s Kitchen”. It contained a little spatula and dip mix. The Twins were happy. They got treats. “Mrs. Lisa” always knows what they like!
This year she created these adorable “Christmas Chairs” for Kim, Brady and me. They contained yummy chocolate truffles. As for the Twins and Lexi, they got one of their all-time favorites, Pupperoni sticks. Thank you so much, Lisa, for sharing your talent…and treats…with the entire Schach family!
