Quick & Simple Card Making




I know many of you don't know where to begin when making your own cards.  I have that problem, too.  I usually will scour the internet for ideas and try to turn them into my own designs with what I have in my scrapbook room.  I wanted to make a card that any one could do and didn't take much inspiration at all!

I used a preprinted card to start.  I bought these today to use for an upcoming workshop:  DCWV Old World.  Then I used Close To My Heart's Art Philosophy cricut cartridge to cut out some shapes in different colors.  I used a little larger size for the color and smaller for the white. 

Next ... you could use any stamp set you wanted that fit into your shape.  I was making an anniversary card so I used Close To My Heart's "The Happy Couple" stamp set (D1539) to stamp "Happy Anniversary".  I then added CTMH's red enamel hearts (Z2009) to give it a little pop of color and cuteness!

It looks really good if I say so myself, and it was VERY quick and simple!
