A Good Day – For Someone Sweet

This is another card from my monthly library class.  I love challenging myself to find super cute cards that are quick and easy to make.  My biggest challenge is making cards WITHOUT using my Big Shot!

I love dies and embossing folders, but as much as I LOVE my Big Shot, I really hate to lug that thing around!  So, I try to design cards that use punches, because they are easy for beginners to use, and easy for me to carry.

I really like the A Good Day stamp set for quick and easy cards.  It has cute stamps for different occasions and coordinates with our scallop circle punches.

A Good Day – Just For You

We made this card at the Hardin County Public Library this month.  It’s a quick and easy one!

If you’re in our area, I’d love for you to join us for some simple stamping.  I teach this class on the second Monday of each month.  It’s for beginners and it’s also a great chance for me to use up some of my retired products.

Stamps:  A Good Day

Cardstock:  Blackberry Bliss, Bermuda Bay, Very Vanilla

Ink:  Blackberry Bliss

Paper:  Bohemian DSP (vintage)

Punches:  Triple Banner, 1 3/8” Scallop Circle, 1 3/4” Circle

Stay tuned for another simple card from the library class.

A Good Day Treat Bucket

How cute are these little spring treat buckets?  We made these at the library class.

I found the buckets at a local store, and they came 3 in a package, with tags and white ribbons.  I ditched the tags (mine are so much cuter).  Then I colored the ribbon using my Pool Party ink pad and a tongue depressor.  Just lay the ribbon across the ink pad, hold it down with the tongue depressor and pull on the end of the ribbon.  I did both sides a few times to get the color I wanted.  I think these turned out cute!

Stamps:  A Good Day

Cardstock:  Pool Party, Whisper White

Ink:  Basic Gray Archival

Punches:  1 1/8″ Scallop Circle Punch, 1″ Circle Punch

These little buckets would be so cute with a different tag and filled with birdseed for a wedding!

I hope you enjoyed this little treat!
