Hand-Drawn Dots ~ Manic Monday 5 minute card
Floating Element ~ Manic Monday 5 minute card
"It's just another Manic Monday!"
The floating element technique is so easy to do! Add a little bit of "wow" to your cards!
Let's gather the supplies.
- Crumb Cake Cardstock- 5½" x 8½", scored at 4¼"
- On the Bay DSP - 4" x 5¼"
- Window Sheet- cut to 3½" x 3½" (just larger than the die or punch you are using)
- Strips of DSP and/or cardstock: Like an Animal, Crumb Cake and Basic Black
- Layering Circle Dies (I like to use the two largest circles)
- Tape Runner
- Dimensionals or Foam Adhesive Strips
Did you ever make a video so bad that you can't stop laughing at yourself?? Well, here is mine! Please don't judge, just laugh along and remember, it is a Monday!
Here are a few more cards using the same technique.
Basket Treat Holders ~ 5 minute project

Today's video shows you how to make a quick and easy basket using a 6"x 6" sheet of DSP! And what stamper doesn't have at least 3,000 sheets of DSP in this size laying around???
Items Used:
- Pick any 6" x 6" DSP or cardstock.
- Pick coordinating DSP or cardstock and cut to ½" x 6".

Hope and Prayers ~ Manic Monday 5 Minute Card
"It's just another Manic Monday!"
Welcome back to another Manic Monday!
I was working on my make-n-takes for an upcoming retreat and found that I had a lot of cardstock strips left on my cutting table. Being a scrapbooker at heart, it is not in my nature to throw paper away.... I'll hoard it until the cows come home!!! But today, we are going to use it!
We are also using the Hope and Prayer stampset and some of the By the Bay DSP from Stampin' Up!®.
Here are the items used and the dimensions. Take a minute to cut your paper then join me on the video and I will walk you through it. You won't believe how easy and versatile this design is!
