Create a belly band

This fun fold card design is held closed with a belly band. Adhere the long strip of patterned paper to the long strip of cardstock. Then, fold around your card and adhere at the seam. The stamped shape goes over the seam to cover the raw edge.

This card design uses all Sale-A-Bration items. The patterned paper is the Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper. The circle stamp is from the Texture and Frames stamp set. Both this paper and the stamps are available for FREE with a $50 order.

The sentiment is from the In Your Words stamp set. This is the Sale-a-Bration host set. You can get it FREE with a $300 order OR gather orders from your friends and submit them all together. I'd love to help you earn these stamps - just leave me a comment or send an email. 

Such a quick card!

Just a little cutting and folding and you can whip this card up in minutes. Add a piece of 5 1/4" x 4" white or vanilla cardstock to the inside to write a  message. 

Blackberry Beauty Card Idea for Fall

The Blackberry Beauty Specialty Designer Series Paper is to-die-for gorgeous! I'm totally smitten with this patterned paper. It has rich Blackberry Bliss and Rich Razzleberry tones combined with browns and gold accents. It is the perfect star of the show for this card!

This would be a great card idea for fall - maybe for a fall wedding? Or change the sentiment for any fall occasion. 

Beautiful patterned paper for quick cards

I love this patterned paper so much that I put a second 3 1/2" x 5 1/4" piece on the inside of the card to show off more of the beautiful Queen Anne's Lace. 

The color coordination between the cardstock, the patterned paper, and the ink is perfect. It takes the guess work out of making this card quickly!
