CCC #16 Spring card

This Springtime card is cut from the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge using the card feature. I have had this cartridge for a really long time and until recently never used the card feature. This is the way to go if you need a cute card in a hurry. The cards all feature a cut in the center and a frame to go around it. The really cool thing about the card feature is you can have a square card or by pushing the shift key can have a tall card. I cut this card and the frame at 4 1/4". I also cut the word Spring from this cartridge at 1 1/4". I added a little doodling with my Sakura 3-D Glaze pens and some ribbon and this card was done in less than 10 minutes. Now, I have to admit, I prefer to spend a little more time and add a lot more detail. But there are times when you just don't have a lot of time to spend and it's nice to know that you can still give someone a cute homemade card on the spur of the moment or when family matters keep you from being able to spend more time on a creation. I have been trying to take the time to investigate some of my cartridges a little more and I'm glad that I discovered the card feature on Stretch Your Imagination.
