Card Fronts: Ready In Minutes, Save For Later



When I think of quick and easy I always turn to my embossing folders and stickers.  I can take one piece of paper and usually make 4 card fronts.  The trick is to have a pattern in mind and repeat to mass produce.


For this card I used my Anna Griffin embossing folder and Tim Holtz diffuser plate so that I could emboss just a portion of the folder onto my card.  I then ran the combination through the Big Shot 4 times.


This is the finished result.  Pretty and just a portion of the folders patterns appear on the card when you use the diffuser plate.


Add Washi tape, a sticker and your done aside from the sentiment, which you can add later for the specific occasion.  This is a great way to build your stash to have ready when you don't have time to create.


Quick and easy and ready for later.

I hope this is a system you can adapt and use to build your stash.  

Thank you for stopping by Scraps of Color and "creating something handmade" with me.
