Patterned Paper to the Rescue!

I love sending thank you notes! Apparently, I love sending thank you cards so much that I depleted my stash. I needed to get some in the mail quick, but when I went to grab a few, I found that my box was empty. Ack! Luckily, I had just gotten this absolutely scrumptious Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper. With a little patterned paper, some cardstock, a stamp, a punch, and some sequins, I was able to whip up a handful of thank you cards in a jiffy. This is also great for those times when you realize you need to put a birthday card in the mail today. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Cutting dimensions for this Ridiculously Quick and Easy Card Design

Card base (here Magenta Madness): 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
Patterned Paper: 5 1/4" x 4"
Whisper White: 2 1/2" x 1 3/4", punched with the Tailored Tag punch
Cardstock (here Magenta Madness): 2 1/2" x 1 3/4", punched with the Tailored Tag punch

Putting these simple Thank you Cards together

I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set with ink to match the card base. Then, I punched it out with the Tailored Tag punch. I punched a second tag from cardstock to match the card base. I cut the colored tag in half horizontally. I glued one half to the top of the sentiment and the other to the bottom. This gives the sentiment a nice little mat to help it pop off the card front. A couple of Stampin' Dimensionals helped with the pop too!

Of course, I added a few of the Artistry Blooms sequins for a little bling. Because these sequins are self-adhesive, they are so easy to add to your cards!

That's it! When you're in a time crunch, patterned paper to the rescue!
