The new challenge at Shopping Our Stash is called, "A Quick Thank You" and the idea is to time yourself and make a thank you card in thirty minutes or less! This is one of the hardest types of challenges for me (I am emphatically NOT a fast crafter!) but I did my best, and only cheated a tiny bit.
Full Disclosure: I didn't count the time I spent THINKING about what to make. And even with that "head start" it took me almost forty minutes to make my first card... BUT... It only took fifteen minutes to make the second one; which averages out to 27.5 minutes per card. So I'm callin' this a win. It's actually genuine win for Stash Shopping, as I used only scraps... even the backgrounds were in the offcuts file; which is part of the reason they are mini slimlines. I used my ancient Altenew Bold Alpha Dies; Hero Arts Heart Infinity Dies; plus the "you" and tiny flowers from the Essential Envelope set in Wendy Vecchi's Not Your Ordinary Card Collection. The Matte Finish Enamel Dots are from Eyelet Outlet.
