Fast Friday - "Hi" on Stampin' Up Card Stock

Love the card, Hate the cheap non Stampin' Up card stock

Happy Fast Friday and Happy Black Friday!  I must be in a time warp because I cannot believe that Thanksgiving is over and the Christmas season is upon us!  Time sure flies!

This week's Fast Friday post serves two purposes:  (1) to offer you another quick card idea, and (2) to display the benefit of Stampin' Up quality card stock.

First, the card stock........  I accidentally stamped this card onto white card stock that was not Stampin' Up cs.  Do you see how the Lucky Limeade "hi" scallop square image is mottled and blotchy?  That is the result of poor quality card stock.  There is a definite difference between the quality of an image stamped onto Stampin' Up's Whisper White cs and that of an image stamped on other cs.  Isn't it astounding to see?  I wish I had stamped another image on Stampin' Up cs to show you its visual distinctive quality, but I'm sure you can imagine a perfect looking Lucky Limeade stamped image just the same.

I also want to point out that using Stampin' Up cs is of even more importance when using a solid image stamp {line image stamped image quality is important too, but you can notice the quality difference much more in a solid stamped image}.  The difference is remarkable.  So, make sure you always have Whisper White Stampin' Up card stock {and Very Vanilla} on hand for your most beautiful, professional-looking stamping!

Stampin' Up card stock high-quality benefits:

Super smooth

Cuts cleanly

Creases well
dyed with pure color all the way through

No white core

80-lb. Weight

acid free, lignin free, and buffered

Now, on to the card design.  What could be quicker?  Punch a bright strip of cs with a border or edge punch, and stamp one image on the card!  This card will take two minutes!
