5 Minute Cards

Hey all! Laura here again and it is a busy time of year!! With summer winding down and back to school in full swing there is so much that has to get done!

Sometimes we think we don't have enough time to create so today I want to show you a couple of cards that I made that took less than 5 minutes each to create!

For both cards I used the 3D Sticker Embellishment Kit. These amazing embellishments make for quick and easy sentiments for all your card making needs!







I also used Sticky, Sparkly A Play On Words for my title, Must Have Textured Cardstock Stack, Perfectly Pretty Petals Paper Flower Kit, and Patterned Paper from Focus on Photos Scrapbook kit.

So simple and so quick! Why don't you grab all your favorite 3 Birds products and create some quick and easy cards today!

Wednesday's Whim!

On a whim the other morning I decided to make an altered frame for my daughter's room. She had just been telling me that she wanted a picture of her best kitty friend to put up in her room. I simply took a plain wooden frame and adhered 3birds patterned paper to it and then added some crocheted ribbon trim to the inside edges. I then added some adorable 3birds embellies and in no time her custom one of a kind frame was finished! She just loves it!

Happy Birthday, 3Birds style!

I must confess I'm not much of a card maker. But the 3Birds products are just as great for cards as they are for scrapbook pages. When I realized I was in need of some quick and easy cards, I knew I just had to give it a go. Maybe you're not much of a card maker either, but you love to give handmade cards, since it makes the gesture that much more meaningful. If so, I hope my cards can show you just how easy making a card with 3Birds products can be. In fact, if you have cardstock, the 3D Embellishment Kit, and the Super Sticker Nestables, you're pretty much all set! My daughter is at an age where she goes to a lot of birthday parties, so I wanted to put together some fun, bright birthday cards that would be great for kids.
