This is my second post for today. Please scroll down one post or click
HERE for my Creative Inspirations card.
Okay, please bear with me as I make - and upload - one more 10 Minute creation for the Flourishes 'Gimme Ten' challenge! I've CRAVED card-making lately, because my free time has been so limited. Seems in this busy rush toward the end of school, I can only get snippets of time to craft: perfect, then, for this 10 Minute challenge.
I'm desperately trying to use up some patterned paper scraps that I've had for too long.
The trio of cards looked a little plain with just paper strips and a sentiment, so I added a pre-punched flower to each, plus a pearl. Pearls seem to dress up most anything!
One more challenge entered: Pixie's Crafty Snippets Challenge. My friend Tammy plays there often, and thought I'd give it a try!
I'll be back tomorrow with two cards -- a Play Date Cafe creation, and an 'Inspired by Stamping' creation. See you then!
Dimensions: 4.25" x 5.5"
Stamps: Essential Messages - Hero Arts
Paper: Barely Banana, Taken with Teal cardstock, patterned paper strips - SU
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black - Tsukineko
Other: pearls - Queen & Co.; Flower Trio punch - SU

Hi there, welcome to the snippets playground. Your cards are super fast makes and very 1970's. Love those colours. Our first home was pretty much made up from those bright patterns. Pink /mauve in the lounge, bright orange in the kitchen, sunflower yellow in the bathroom, pink and apple green in the bedroom and candy pinki in the hall. Wow, that was a walk down memory lane. hugs Mrs A.
Springy and quick. I like that this would be a perfect idea for a layout with all my scraps of dp. hee hee. Thanks for playing in Flourishes gimme 10 challenge this week.
What a fun 10 minute style! I love how vibrant and playful the strips of paper are!

SOOOOOOO awesome! I LOVE that you were able to make these so quickly! I spent three hours trying to decide what to make today! OY! I need to just sit and craft like you! HUGS:)
These are super cute and colorful, Colleen!

I can never make a card in ten minutes, but this time I will time myself!
Fabulous use of snippets with a great result! I love the colour combination - it works perfectly Colleen.
Welcome to the snippets playground - a little word of warning though. That Mrs A who hopped in earlier is the playground scallywag, if she offers you a go on her pogo stick, run away :) The other week she ended up in the duck pond for goodness sakes!

Mahalo for sharing your 10 minute creations. I am working on adding cards to my skills this summer - seems I prefer the crafts items more - but I love cards - and yours are a wonderful inspiration!!
Gorgeous cards and am loving your blog header. Hugs, Amanda x

What a great way to use up those scraps Colleen! Such a great card, I haven't got scraps that small (yet) just larger pieces that I am trying to use up. Great card and beautiful blog :)
