Quick Card on the Fly ...

Ever find yourself in a spot and need a really quick card?  We eat at Chipotle a lot and finally have one in our town.  One of the employees has gotten to know us and when he sees us in the parking lot he begins the wipe down and utensil changes for my food allergies.  He gets fresh ingredients for my Burrito Bowl too.

We want to give him an extra thank you so have a gift card and wanted to put it in a card.  Here is what I did and it really was quick.  You can make it even quicker if you eliminate the heat embossing. I used VersaMark and WOW Gold embossing powder around the front edge of the card front.  Also, heat embossed Happy as well as the banner edges.  

I used Peaceful Season Bundle, both for stamping Happy and die cut banner.  The banner is adhered with Mini Dimensionals. 

I used Season of Elegance DSP for the front of card layer 1 and inside card layer 1 and embellished the front of the card with the smaller sized snowflakes from Adhesive-Backed Snowflake Assortment.  Just a tad from the heat tool to slightly lift the edges.


Measurements:
Card base: 5" x 3-½" (I used Very Vanilla Note Cards & Envelopes) OR
Card base: 7" x 5" and scored at 3-½"
Layer 1: 4-½" x 3"

CARD INSIDE:

I decided to make the inside of the card layers just a tad smaller.  I liked the way it fit on this smaller card.  I used the same DSP for "layer 1" and Very Vanilla CS for "layer 2".  Stamped image is from Shepherd's Care with VersaMark and then heat embossed with WOW Gold embossing powder.  I also inked the edges of the Very Vanilla CS with VersaMark and again with WOW Gold embossing powder heat embossed.


Measurements inside of card:

Layer 1: 3" x 4-¾"
Layer 2: 2-¾" x 4" 

So, you can see super quick "need a card right now"!  Products are listed below with clickable links for those that are available as of this posting.

I will probably say it at least a couple more times before December 25th ...

Merry Christmas,

Tina

Perfect "quick little card"! Looks like that you spent hours. Love the extra gold embossing around the edges of the card. I would have never thought of that! Dresses the whole thing up beautifully.
