Use your stash with this quick, cute card layout - MCM Apr 28, 2025

 

I'm a few days late posting this week - the countdown until we leave for Orlando is ON, and that mean a "yay-list" as long as my arm ... which delays blogging!  Today is another "stuff-filled" day so Giddy Up, let's go!

This week I shared a layout I'm sure I've done before ... I just don't know when lol ... but I stumbled across a great card made by Jamie over at Stamp It Up With Jamie and knew I needed to do it again.  As usual, I start with a very basic layout, using just stamps, ink and paper (and a few embellishments if you have them).  I then "step it up" by adding a textured layer background.  This great layout goes to show that you don't have to have "all the things" to make fabulous cards. This one is perfect for beginner card makers.  I like it for mass producing!  Check these out ...
