Two Lazy Cards

Before I start my spiel, I just wanted to ask a little favor.  Some of my readers ask me questions in the comment screen.  While I would love to answer them (I love to talk stampin’!), if a reader is signed in as “anonymous”, there is no way I can answer their question.  You can easily email me if you have a specific question, or sign in using your email address.  I hate to leave people hanging with no answer!!

My sweet friend Robyn lent me her new Two-Step Bird Punch, and I made a very quick (read:LAZY) monochromatic card with the first punch-outs I did.  Sometimes these cards are difficult to photograph, but the effect is very soft & subtle:

This also qualifies for the Limited Supply Challenge #260 at SCS today:  to use ribbon and a trim punch, and for the Pals Paper Arts Challenge to KISS:  Keep It Simple Sweetie.  This card uses  Barely Banana cs, with Vanilla Wide Grosgrain ribbon and the Scallop Trim Punch.  Here’s the inside:

I saw this card on Corie’s blog and thought this would also make a good sympathy card.

 

 

My next lazy card is one I made with some scraps laying on my table; it’s a get-well card for my uncle who has been in the hospital for several days:

I literally threw this together—the only thing I had to do was trim the Chocolate Chip panel and round the edges; then I added the jumbo eyelet just for some interest.  It uses Bordering Blue, Chocolate Chip & Confetti White cs, with some retired DP as well as Thoroughly Modern DP from the current catalog.  The sentiment is from Sincere Salutations.

Well, I gotta run—busy day today!  Thanks for visiting!
