The challenge this week is to make a 10 Minute Tuesday card. Forthose who may not know what 10 Minute Tuesday is,each Tuesday I do aBlog post showcasing a card that canbe reproduced in about 10 minutes. I realize the designing and making of most cards doestake more than 10 minutes, but try to come up withsomething, that if you were going to reproduce it, you coulddo soin about 10 minutes — OK? So, in other words, keep it really simple! Most importantly have fun!!!

Here are some samples:

What a fabulous Stamp Simply Team!!! Thank you girls!!! Much appreciated!!!

And heres my sample:

This time I made my Coffee, from Coffee with Friends,of the iced variety!!! A great summer drink!!! My cup was paper pieced, my straw was just cut by hand, and my foam or whipped cream is Liquid Applique by Marvy. All the pink and patterned paper is from the Sultry pad, while my brown matting is from Sugared. My Basic Grey pads are pretty well used up and I’ve been combining a lot of the pads to get the colors I need, and it works!!! I LOVE the combination of these 2 prints from the Sultry pad!!! The bottom pink is stamped with one of the steam stamps from Coffee with Friends and it makes a quick and fun background. And here’s a closeup of the tag detailing:

The tag is die cut on my Cuttlebug using the Tag Trio by Spellbinders. I just ran a length of the sheer dotted ribbon through the hole and then inserted my pink brad. The tag is mounted on dimenstional tape and the little dotted tails are neatly held in place with a Zot.

And you know what made this a 10 minute card?

So, with a few things done ahead of time — this card truly did come together in short order!!!

• Stamps: Coffee with Friends, Siberian Iris (sentiment), both by Flourishes
• Paper: White, Sultry and Sugared Designer Pads by Basic Grey
• Ink: Palette Noir Black, SU Pretty in Pink
• Accessories: 1″ Chocolate Satin Ribbon, Chocolate Dotted Sheer Ribbon, Tag Trio dies by Spellbinders, SU Brad, Liquid Applique by Marvy, Mounting Tape, Zots

Editing to add another card — did this for the LSC at SCS today — the challenge was to limit your embellishments to brads ONLY, and they had to be a part of your main image, not just tacked in a corner. I thought this LSC would go perfetly with this 10 Minute Tuesday type ofchallenge here today, so I did another this morning:

Clean, sleek, modern, simplistic! Love it!! This is 9.25″ x 4 1/8″ and fits a business sized envelope. Fits the LSC to use brads as your only embellishment, and it was a 10 minute card for me because this main image panel with 3 paper peiced mugs was in my rejecto pile from another project gone awry!!! But it works here!!! And that’s a good thing!!!!

• Stamps: Coffee with Friends by Flourishes
• Paper: Black, White, Two Scoops by Basic Grey
• Ink: Palette Noir Black
• Accessories: Black Brads by SU and Mounting Tape
