10 Minutes or Less Birthday Card SOC DT Project


Hello Krafters,

January for me is full of birthdays! MLK’s birthday is this month, several family members and my hubby’s! Today I want to share the birthday card I made for hubby.

Anyone who knows me knows I like to do 10 minute or less cards. For those who don’t, about a year ago, I challenged myself to this because I was spending too much time on one card AND I needed a card in a hurry! This “challenge” has been a blessing really!

On this card, I used two patterns from the Bo Bunny Snowfall 6x6 paper collection. I also used a scrap piece of Vintage Cream Paper Trey Ink cardstock to stamp the sentiment and as a shadow to the banner. I colored white brads and clear buttons with Copic Markers to match the colors in the pattern paper. I love to do this because Copics are an alcohol based marker and it is permanent! So if you can’t find the exact color, try using a marker!

I hope you like and will try out a 10 minute or less card on your own. You may be pleasantly surprised with the results! Please stop by Scraps of Color Espire to check out the talented design team projects! Thank you so much for stopping by, Krafthead~

  1. 10 minutes or less? It just sounds impossible. It takes me 10 minutes to find the paper I want sometimes. You made a great card! I should try!
