Recently, I’ve found myself having a chronic case of “ain’t nobody got time for that.” I see all these beautiful handmade holiday cards and projects and all I can think is how much time it would take me to replicate it – and I give up before I even start. I am all about the quick and easy.
The cards in today’s post are totally quick and completely easy to make – and for all you people out there who plan on sending holiday cards to all 4,325 of your Facebook friends – these designs are also mass produceable. Each card also features baker’s twine, which adds a quick bit of dimension to each card without much work at all. If you are in need of a few extra spools, be sure to visit www.bakersstock.com where all my readers get 50% off their baker’s twine order by using the code: TWINE50.
Let’s get to the card, shall we – because when it comes to reading my ramblings…well…ain’t nobody got time for that either.
Doesn’t get much easier than this friends. Really. This card will take you all of 38.5 seconds to assemble.
INSTRUCTIONS
Wrap twine into a circle and use craft glue to secure onto the front of your card • Punch out red bow and adhere with glue • Cut out a banner and stamp with your choice of sentiment
SUPPLIES
Green & white baker’s twine | Martha Stewart Bow Punch | Tis the Season Stamp Set
Me thinks this is my favorite quick & easy card. It uses one stamp set only, which cuts down on cost and makes it so very easy to mass produce. The scribbly images from the stamp set are also really easy to color – since you don’t really have to be precise. You also don’t need to color in every simple image. Just select a few and leave the other’s blank. A little twine bow on top is easy but adds just the right about of …sumthin.

Adorable cards especially with the baker’s twine. Using one stamp set is right up my alley. I always make quick cards for the majority because they’ll probably get tossed after the holidays.
Love the joy to the world! I love my glitter pens too but find that sometimes the glitter all gets stuck in the tip part – and I end up having to twist it off, wash it out with a toothpick, etc. Do you find that problem as well? Is it because I don’t use them often enough and they get clogged up? Would appreciate your advice; I love your blog! Thanks
Hi Sarah! I’ve had the same problem with my glitter glues and when I do, I just take a small pin and pierce through the tip and that clears it up.
I know I’m not alone in thinking that what you write in your project lead-ins are as clever and fun as the projects themselves.
What cute cards!
Thanks for the giveaway and have a great day!
These cards would be great for re producing quickly if you need a lot.
