Hello Beautiful card by Kimber McGray
Supplies: Cardstock: Jillibean Soup Kraft; Pattern Paper, Stickers and Die-Cuts: Jillibean Soup Chilled Cucumber Soup and Soup Staples II; Twine: May Arts; Clips: Stampin' Up!; Adhesive: Xyron and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
I loved this sketch from CardMaps Vol. 3 because of the hanging banner and layered pattern papers! CardMaps are such a great resource for jump starting your creativity or for when you just need to make a quick card. Follow the sketch with what you have on hand and in no time you can have a great card to give to your love one!
I always have leftover stickers and die-cuts sitting on my desk. By simply wrapping some twine around the die-cut frame, I was able to clip and staple different die-cut pieces such a banners, butterflies and a label that I folded over the twine and stapled in place.
A tip for the banner pieces: add a bit of foam adhesive behind them to secure them in place so they don't move around when you mail your card.
This card took less than 10 mins to create once I found the time to actually sit down at my desk (darn nice weather and spring sports!)
