There are certain things in this world that drive me absolutely nuts, and one of those things is the chronic misuse of elevator buttons. Yes. I know. Sounds ridiculous. But I am completely and 100% serious about this. It’s a problem that has gone unaddressed for far too long.

Here’s the deal. You only need to press the elevator button once. One time. That’s it. Pressing it ten times in five seconds will not make the elevator show up any sooner. Last I checked,  the elevator call button is not an accelerator. It does not have a “warp speed” effect when pressed over and over and over again. When I see people pressing it repeatedly, I have to use every ounce of self-control not to grab their finger and give them a lesson on proper elevator button etiquette. Luckily, I restrain myself.

So how about this. Instead of wasting our time pushing that button to no avail, howsabout we do something that really is fast. Something that really does give speedy results…like today’s installment of Easy Like Sunday Morning.

If you are a patterned paper hoarder, you’ll love this project, because you only need a few supplies and a few minutes to make a stack of pretty & simple cards that are perfect for gift giving.

{1} Patterned Paper

{2} Sticker Maker like THIS one.

{3} Folded Cards made with solid white cardstock

{4} Bone folder

{5} craft knife

{6} self-healing cutting mat

{1} Place folded card into sticker maker.

{2} Roll the entire card through the machine

{3} Use the bone folder to rub the card. This will help make sure that the adhesive is well adhered to the card.

{4} Gently peel back the sticker backing

{5} Place the sticky side of the card onto the wrong side of the patterned paper.

{6} Again, use the bone folder on the card to make sure everything is adhered nicely.

{7} Drag your craft knife around each edge of the card.

{8} Once you cut around the card, you’ll have a beautiful simple patterned card front that is securely adhered and won’t lift from the edges.
