Today’s card, featuring the Blooming with Kindness stamp set from Stampin’ Up! (wood mount and clear mount) is a super quick, clean and simple card for those occasions when you just don’t have much time.  That has definitely been the case around here this week as I prepared for Carter’s birthday party and also tried to make progress on the renovation of my home studio!

It is always nice to have some quick card designs that you can go to in a pinch.  If you are a fan of this one, please leave me a comment and I will enter you in my reader appreciation drawing. During the month of April, I will be doing a drawing each Sunday.  One lucky winner will receive one of the featured products from Sale-a-bration.  So, if you missed out on the free items during the sale, now is your chance to win one!  Also, if you enjoy reading my posts, why not have them delivered to your inbox automatically.  Just click on the “follow” button in the sidebar.

I began my card with a Whisper White card base.  First, I inked up the leaf image from the Summer Silhouettes stamp set (wood mount and clear mount) in Pear Pizzazz ink.  I stamped off on a scrap of paper, then I stamped the leaf image in the bottom right corner of the card.  I repeated that process again on the right side near the top of the card.  Then I inked up the flower from Blooming with Kindness in Blushing Bride ink.  I used a sponge dauber to add some Strawberry Slush ink to the center of the flower fading out toward the edges.  Then I stamped the image between the two sets of leaves on the front of the card.

Next, I used my stamp-a-ma-jig to place the “Thank You” greeting from the Blooming with Kindness stamp set near the flower image.  I inked up the sentiment using Strawberry Slush ink, and stamped off on a scrap of paper before stamping the greeting on the front of the card.

I finished off the inside of my card by stamping the leaf image from Summer Silhouettes twice.  I inked up my stamp in Pear Pizzazz and stamped in on the inside of the card.  Next, I inked up the stamp a second time to avoid any harsh lines where the stamp had gone off the page.  I stamped off on a scrap of paper and then stamped on the inside of the card again to give my image some added depth.

I was able to make a whole stack of these cards in about 15 minutes.  They are lovely, but also very fast and convenient.  You can find a complete supply list, including card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this post.  If you enjoyed my project today, please pin it to Pinterest for me.  You will find a “pin it” button at the very bottom of the post below the supply list.  Also, don’t forget to leave me a comment for your chance to win a free stamp set from Sale-a-bration!
