Today's tip: Use ribbon instead of patterned paper to create a super quick and easy card!
I did it, I did it! I managed to not only create but also post a Keep it Simple card...and even on time! It's a miracle! LOL! I've been having a hard time getting comfortable in my new stamping studio, which is wonderful, but I'm missing all my great storage that I had in the old place so quickly finding what I need is time consuming. I'm looking forward to creating a more organized space soon...Anyone have any tips for great storage solutions for small spaces? :-)
I confess that the idea for this card came from a CARDS magazine from a few years ago but I thought the ribbon idea was brilliant! The card base is 5" x 5"...I then cut a 2.5" x 3.5" piece of cardstock and layered different ribbon around the card, securing the edges behind the cardstock. All of these ribbons were from a Stampin' Up! pack, that included all five designs. The ribbon covered square was attached to the cardbase and I then used American Crafts foam letters to spell out thanks. A few SU! flower brads added just a hint of color. Time to finish card? 10 minutes!
Enjoy today's card and be sure to head over the the

What a clever idea! I'll be trying that one out later.
Hi Kim,
Were you part of Susan Hobbs's SU group? If so, I still have some cards you made for swaps. I remember you as one of the people that made me feel most welcome to the group. Came across this blog from Debbie Olsen's. Great new business idea - wish I'd thought of it.
Love to hear from you,
