A 5 minute card !!

Hi Everyone !  Jan here today with a true 5 minute card.

I have a huge stash of cards at the ready for many occasions, but once in awhile I need to make a card in a hurry, to fill a gap.

This particular card is one you can easily copy.  You will need the following...

Black and white design paper
A contrasting color of design paper
Card stock
A ribbon
A sentiment stamp
A label or tag of some kind
An edge embossing folder & Cuttlebug (or other embosser)
A corner rounder
Your favorite adhesive and some pop ups for the sentiment label

The design of the card follows the graphic arts rule of thirds.  That is, dividing your card roughly into 3rds.  You can apply that rule as I did above, or leave 2/3s empty at the top, and the last third with design paper and your sentiment.  If you think of your card that way, you will always come up with a pleasing design for the eye.

You might think of making a lot of identical cards for a mass mailing - Christmas, or party invitations.  This would be an ideal card to copy, as you can make an eye catching design quickly, and it is flat enough for the mail.

See you tomorrow with another tutorial !
