The most time consuming aspect of today's Fast Friday card is all of the punching. The Scallop Trim Border Punch and its partner, the Scallop Trim Corner Punch, do the task quite quickly and neatly.
The steps for this card couldn't be easier.......punch squares in varying sizes, layer them, stamp a background and a monogram, and then stamp a little message in the corner of the card front. The background can be stamped with whatever background stamp or repeated stamp desired, and also can be stamped in one color or twin colors. Background ink should be either in a lighter color than the monogram, or you can stamp off once on scrap paper and then stamp a second time on the cs to achieve a lighter, softer color. I call this "2nd generation" stamping. The lighter stamped background will force the monogram letter to really POP!
If you want to make a similar card in an even quicker amount of time, why not simply omit the punching? Just cut squares and layer them!
I hope you have a relaxing weekend and that you can make some time for stamping!
