Quick & Easy cards are favorites for many people.  I often look at ideas in the Stampin’ Up! catalog and then make a few changes to the colors and/or stamp set and ta-da I have a new quick & easy card.  If you look throughout the catalog there are ideas marked “Quick & Easy” and some include You Can Make It supply lists so you know exactly what was used.

I found the Quick & Easy card on page 41 in the annual catalog.  It however used a stamp set that I didn’t have.  So I switched it for a different one and created this.

I kept the colors the same – Emerald Envy, Very Vanilla, Delightful Dijon, Early Espresso.

I used the same layout – but flipped it to be landscape instead of portrait.

I used the same washi tape – Moroccan Designer Washi Tape.

I used the same punch – Petite Petals Punch.

I even used the same technique on the flower – scrunch it up to break down the fibers in the card stock giving it some dimension.

I used a different stamp set.  For my card I used the Rose Wonder stamp set.

And I left off the Bakers Twine.

What do you think?  Can you use that card from the catalog and create another version for yourself?  It’s Quick & Easy!

Thanks for stopping by!
