Universal Cards




I think all of us at one time or another have needed a card on short notice. This card is very simple and takes only a few minutes to make. Just think of the time you will save driving to the store and having to pick out just the right card... I think it can be used as a birthday card, or a thinking of you card.

Most of us love coffee so that is why I have deemed this the universal card. To make this card you will need Stampin' Up's! Like it a latte set, Fancy flexible phrases set, Pretty in pink pocket notes (cardstock), whisper white card stock, kraft cardstock, pretty in pink ink pad, close to cocoa stampin' write marker, pink passion stampin' write marker, small oval punch, hemp twine, silver glitter glue pen, coordinating ribbon of your choice and lots of hearts jumbo wheel.

Step 1

Lay Pretty in pink pocket note flat so the outside of the card is showing.

Step 2

Roll lots of hearts jumbo wheel using the pretty in pink ink over the front and back of card.

Step 3

Stamp the bottom of the latte cup on whisper white card stock. Use the close to cocoa stampin' write marker to color the inside of the cup and the pink passion stampin' write marker to outline the cup. Cut out the bottom of the cup.

Step 4

Use the close to cocoa stampin' write marker for the outline on the whipped cream. Using the straw stamp, color it with the pink passion stampin' write marker and place on the top of the whipped cream. Cut out the whipped cream area.

Step 5

Cut out a small oval on kraft cardstock and using the Fancy flexible phrases set, choose a coordinating stamp to use. Use the pink passion stampin' write marker for the color.

Step 6

Cut a piece of ribbon the length of the front of the card. Adhere with mono tape.

Step 7

Using the hemp twine, tie together the bottom of the latte mug (through the cup handle) and the small oval cut out. Glue Latte cup and whipped cream in place. The oval should not be glued down.

Step 8

On the inside of the card, stamp a few of the hearts using the Pink Passion stampin' write marker. Also stamp matching hearts on the envelope.

Step 9

Stamp sending warm thoughts your way using the close to cocoa stampin' write marker or another stamp of your choice
