Thank You Gift Tag

Thank You Gift Tag
I come across this 10 Minute Craft Dash #1 from someone blog and find it very challenging as it required us to make a card in 10 minutes! For other card maker experts, it might be easy as they have their own craft room, varieties of supplies and inspirations. But for me, it is a big challenge as sometimes, I took days to finish a card mainly due to time constraints.

Freshly Made Sketches #48
I search for the sketch I want to adopt as I always like to start making a card with a sketch. I find Freshly Made Sketches #48 very easy to adopt as I do want to make something easy. Furthermore, I do not think my 10 minutes can make something complicated. I decided to make a simple thank you gift that can be insert into organza bag or present and easy to mass produce which Freshly Made Sketches #48 is just perfect to do so.

The rules says that I can pull out the supplies before the timer starts. Thus, I prepare my card base, pattern papers and card stock into required sizes. I feel a bit of cheating but after a short consideration, I find it good to go ahead as first, the rules did not mention cannot do like what I did. Second, I imagine how my card would be with the supplies I prepared but things not always turned to be like what I imagine.

I start my timer and work on assembling my card. By the time I finish attaching the sentiment onto the card base, it is already 9 minutes! I quickly grab my sheet of pearls and attach the pearls onto the four (4) corners of sentiment card stock. When I look at my timer, it is 10 minutes 8 seconds! Phew~! That is close!
