Quick Cards Card

Tutorial by Linh Van – LV Handcrafted

Hi G45ers! This is Linh (@LVHandcrafted) and I’m sharing my secret for quick & easy cards! First, start with a gorgeous paper collection. I chose Beach is Calling to celebrate the sun and summer we’re enjoying right now. Next, choose some coordinating papers. The obvious choice is the coordinating Patterns & Solids but I also brought in some kraft cardstock, which I think works so well with this paper collection. For focal images and sentiments, the best place to look are the collection ephemera pack, tags & frames or even fussy cutting and trimming some of the designs from the paper collection! Finally, my secret weapon – the EZ Wonder Dies. These dies are designed to cut 6×6 pattern paper, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use them to cut larger papers! The beauty is you get several die cut shapes that are fabulous building blocks to creating a set of quick & easy cards!
