What is the fastest and easiest way to replenish your card stash? Card kits -- let someone else do all the cutting and scoring!

Using a kit doesn't mean all your cards have to look exactly alike, though. The Basic Grey 'Bittersweet' card kit I used has a Valentine's Day/Anniversary/Love theme, but it definitely isn't limited to that. Here is an Edwin card I created using it, too. Tweak a few of the elements and sentiments (like adding this Inkadinkado kid sentiment now available for pre-order at KLSNS) to end up with a quick, easy, and personalized card.

The best part of this card is the natural embellisment which appeared when I photographed it -- see the rainbow in the upper right corner? Guess that was my sign the card was complete and no additional editing is allowed!

Wishing you rainbows in your day, too!
