I was looking at magazines at the craft store yesterday and came across one I’m sure you’re familiar with – Take Ten; it features cards made in 10 minutes. I’m so amused by the title, I mean, I’ve always thought who can really make a card in 10 minutes. Sheesh, ten minutes in I’m just getting started picking papers and believe me you don’t want to know how long that takes!! It would probably be easier if I didn’t have to look through all the paper I’ve got hoarded. Well this card is really a 10 minute card! This card shows another of the wonderful scripture stamps found on I Wait for the Lord – a new release with Our Daily Bread Designs.
I found a clear patterned envelope in my stash and it was the inspiration for the card. I simply cut my design paper and enclosed it in the tranparent envelope. I sealed the envelope and layered it on two brown papers, attached a bow and another pop up panel. The pop up panel with the sentiment was embossed with a cream embossing powder and the top layer cut with Spellbinders Long Rectangles Large while the bottom layer was cut with Spellbinders Long Scalloped Rectangles Large. The final touch was a gold clip and a gold cross dangling from a jump ring.
Card Recipe:
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Wait for the Lord
Paper: Penny Black Design Paper, Creative Imaginations Clear Patterned Envelope
Ink: Versamark and Cream Embossing Powder

Ten Minutes!!
Happy Sunday too all!!
Becca,
That is one stunning card!!!
I know what you mean about a “10 minute card”.
Sometimes the simplest of cards can take me all day.
(for just one card)

p.s. I almost forgot. I love the cross charm. So pretty.
So very beautiful, Becca–you’re the queen of bows! Great embellishing too.
So stunning Becca, love the cross charm and the gold clip! A beautiful, beautiful design.
Very beautiful card! I just love those inspirational verse stamps. I have to get me some. I have seen so many beautiful ones.
You did a fabulous job, thanks for sharing.
This is beautiful becca. I love the soft colors. It’s very striking. TFS!
Just gorgeous Becca as always!!! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.
Even in only 10 minutes you can turn out a beauty! Your amazing (just like your blog title says!) I am curious about the clip you used. I have seen things similar to this that require a special tool — is this clip like that? I have only seen corner clips used requiring this special setter. I have looked at the setter (although I probably couldn’t find it now if I tried) but was unsure how frequently I would use it. This clip is really pretty though. I was wondering if it is just “clipped” on or if it requires something special. Thanks Becca.
Beautiful! I want some of these verse stamps, and this one in particular. Isn’t it amazing how the same scripture can speak to you at different times about totally different issues in our lifes but yet… perfectly so each time. God’s amazing grace! Thanks for your beautiful blog. It truly is an inspiration.
Gosh, that’s pretty Becca. I love your blog. I look forward to every one of your posts. I love the way you make scriptures look so lovely.

once again thanks for a lovely card.

Becca!!!! Wow……so stunning and love the tonal hues. Yeah, I can make a card in about 10 minutes once I get everything picked out, stamped, colored…etc. The assembly is about it, though. I love how you used a clear pattern envelop with dp inside as the background for the front of the card. Also, love the little row of gold beads with the cross dangle. Great work!!!!!
Becca, this is just beautiful. It’s warm and comforting. I like how you used the envelope. TFS JoAnn
Becca this is wonderful! I so need to learn how to tie a bow, you do such wonderful work with them. Love the gold touches!
Becca…just gorgeous…I’m like you, 10 minutes???? I mean there’s so much deliberating to do…but you can do magic in 10 minutes.
Thanks for your sweet comment today…trust me it’s a mutual admiration society – I don’t see anything that you could do without creative gorgeous factor either!!!
Have a great evening!
Beautiful Becca, i love that paper, i love your card.
Really beautiful, Becca! I love the charm and the emvelope idea!
Becca,
This is so pretty! My husband said to tell you liked it as well! I love these cute little cross charms you use from time to time; where do you find them? They are too darling. Gorgeous bow too. Love the whole thing!

I cant believe that it only took you 10 minute to make such a STUNNING card!! Love it!!!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! Love the charm!
This is beautiful, and it only took you 10 min. :)
Good evening, Becca- There is absolutely nothing I can to the others’ comments – This is just beautiful and such a innovative touch to use a clear envelope. I do wish we could buy such envelopes here in UK; I have never seen them here.
Becca – it is always so delightful too see that you have the perfect embellishments for your cards – this card is simply beautiful!!!
Becca: As usual….and thanks for the idea with the clear envelopes….I have too many and some odd sizes…I believe you made this in 10 minutes because you said so…..ask me how long it would take ME to do it…….I lose my mind just picking out papers. The card is beautiful and trhe cross is a lovely addition.
Becca, Another fantastic card… and in ten minutes. Wow! The clear envelope, what a clever idea! TFS! Blessings!
