Final WCMD Sample: The Speediest Card Ever!

Happy World Card Making Day! For my fourth and final sample, I want to show you the simpleness and speed this versatile layout offers. Life gets busy, and sometimes you need a stunning card in about five minutes flat. This design proves it's totally possible!

The principle is the same—three elements on the card front—but we've trimmed the fat to make it as quick as possible.

The "Super Speedy" Layout Hack

Here's how we achieved maximum impact with minimum effort:

Utilize the Card Base: Instead of covering the entire card front with a mat and a large piece of DSP, we're using the plain card base (a nice solid color works best) as our first layer. This saves time on cutting and adhering a full sheet!

No Mats Needed: We've eliminated the time-consuming step of matting! We simply cut our two smaller DSP pieces and adhere them directly to the card base. The contrast of the card base color against the papers acts as a natural, clean border.

No Stamping Required: This is the ultimate time-saver! I used pre-die-cut elements from a coordinating DSP set (like the cute image from the North Pole Delivery set) and a pre-stamped sentiment I had ready to go. Just pop them up with a dimensional, and you're done!

This final sample perfectly demonstrates that the power of a good layout sketch means you can customize it for speed, complexity, or any supplies you have on hand. No matter your time constraints, you can still create something beautiful for World Card Making Day!
