Make a Card in 3 Minutes! MCM Layout Sept 23, 2025

Happy Wednesday, Friends!

Words are hard today ... as Mr. Fluffy Face woke us an hour early last night ... so around 3 am instead of the usual 4 am. *sigh. We're like the Walking Dead around here today! Coffee #2 hasn't kicked in yet ... and a see another in my near future! ... cause "the show must go on!" and I have lots I want to do today. Aside from continuing to post my garage sale rejects on Marketplace, I want to finish packing all the kits for Extravaganza 2025 so I can draw a line under THAT a week ahead of schedule (go me!). I also have my Stamp Club HQ Hangout tonight with my Club Gals. Every 2 weeks we get together over Zoom and ... hang out! I love it! Just 5-10 gals doing "whatever" but doing it together ... while apart lol. I plan to work on my new Handmade & Heartfelt kit. Can't wait! For now, though, I must finish this post before my next Marketplace buyer shows up lol

Did you catch MCM this week? I was VERY short on time so Quick & Easy was a MUST ... and this layout fit the bill. Came together in less than 3 minutes. Seriously. Check it out ...

Ya, the Painterly Pears paper is sideways. Oops lol.

These ones use the Light of Aurora paper. It does all the heavy lifting!

SO simple! I was inspired by the layout from one of our old, retired Kit Collection cards, Colorful Kaleidoscope. Remember this one? Bottom right card ....

I often turn to our kits and/or catalogue for layout inspiration. Why make things harder than they need to be???

Wanna make a card with this layout? Here is the "recipe" of the pieces you need to prep ...

... and here is the Mystery Card Monday (MCM) Facebook Live replay, showing you how to cut/score the papers and put all the pieces together ...

So that's it for this week. If you would like to join me LIVE for my MCM (Mystery Card Monday) sessions, you can catch me on my FaceBook Page here at 7:00 pm Mountain Time every Monday ... or on my YouTube Channel here at the same time (I stream live to both). Like and Follow my FB Page and/or Subscribe to my YouTube Channel. I'd love to have you - the live community is AMAZING and so much fun!

If you live in Canada and would like to purchase any of the items I used for my cards, just click any of the pictures below and you will be taken to my online store. Thank you! I appreciate your support!

Stay amazing!
