Introduction: In January 2010 during my latest studio remodeling project I wanted to make some clean and simple cards for Valentine's Day. I had limited supplies and a very small work surface so I thought it would be a great time to revisit the die cut strippers. I printed the instructions I wrote myself a couple years back. and decided they were more complicated than necessary.
Flash Cards! --card making at it's finest. These cards were created in about an hour using basic papers and supplies. My criteria for any set in the fast and fabulous line is a set of 8 or more cards than can be created in one hour. Check out the links below to see more tutorials and videos related to Fast and Fabulous cards.
The key to making this set even simpler than the last one lies in the product. The use of a larger size die cut and simpler design were also factors in make this batch faster and easier.
Products:
DCV (Die Cuts with a view brand) card blanks---red, pink glitter, fuchsia
DCV double sided print glitter papers ( used only a 6" by 12" piece of two pages)
Wizard die cutting system and dies --Nestability heart and scallop heart
Punches--large: swirl, word space, and circle, medium scribble heart and little boy, small folk art art heart
Making Memories word stamp set, Love and Cherish
Adhesive both dry and wet
Glitter loose iridescent
Instructions:
Seriously? Six of the nine cards have strips of of paper with die cuts or punches and three have just die cuts and punches alone. I really think you could click on the samples and recreate them faster than you could read instructions.
Tip: You can speed up the process if you don't share my hang up for no two cards alike.
Tip: Don't forget to use punches and die cuts to cut the card base as in strip five or use the negative of punches as in strip 7
Note: The seventh card (strip seven) has a pocket for a removable book mark--that one card took me a bit over my one hour time frame, but I just love bookmark cards and I came up with nine cards instead of my usual 8 in an hour so I was happy with the whole set.
