Good morning, peeps. Thank you for joining me today. I hope you've been having a good weekend. I had fun this weekend in my craft room!
As You See It currently has a speed challenge and I just love those! They do have rules to follow! (I've linked an image for their challenge at the end of my post.) This type of challenge teaches me to think out my card ingredients, measurements and steps to put it together. I have everything ready to cut, stamp, glue and decorate as you can see. This one took me 6 minutes and 40 seconds. Ready?
I could have reduced my time if I had cut all my papers at the same time and had my ink pad open...think assembly line! It killed me not to take time to clean my stamps until I finished the card. I don't like to leave my stamps with ink on them nor do I like to leave my ink pad open...just the quirkiness of my personality! So here is what I made with those items. (You'll need Dimensionals out too!)

This card is so easy! I got the idea by watching Jessica Taylor on You Tube.
Measurements and instructions:
Mint Macaron Card Base: Cut Card Stock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", score and fold at 4 1/4"; then cut off 3 1/4" and save that piece for another card! Stamp the 1" portion that remains with the leaf-like stamp from Tropical Chic using Mint Macaron ink.
Tropical Oasis DSP: Cut 5 1/4" x 4"; adhere it to the back of the 1" portion (next time I will cut it at 5 1/2" so it stands up better)
Mint Macaron Twine from Nature's Twine Pack: Cut 22"; wrap around seam and tie in a bow in front (All Sorts has a bow challenge for week 569.)
Scrap of Very Vanilla: Stamp sentiment from Tropical Chic in Mint Macaron; punch with Pretty Label Punch. Sponge edges with same ink; adhere with Mini Dimensionals.
Adhere three Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels
Cut Very Vanilla inside panel 5 1/4" x 4, stamp sentiment and adhere to card base.

Here's a better photo of the reverse side of the front DSP.
I'm going to make another one for the challenge using different colors with a couple of changes. Check out their challenge...it truly is fun!
I hope you enjoyed my card today and that you'll give it a try.
