How many of you are always looking for some extra time? (It seems especially bad for me in the summer.) I’m not sure I’ll ever find that extra time, but meanwhile, there are lots of short cuts I can use to save some time. In this month’s creative corner, I’m giving you tips on making the easiest card ever! Lettering Delights has done all the work. If you have shopped for cards in any store lately, you know that cards come in all shapes and sizes so there are no rules to follow except to have fun.

I hope you have fun with this easy idea!

Using Lettering Delights alphabets, fonts and Journaling Delights together give you all of the elements you need to design beautiful scrapbook pages, creative cards, signs and posters for any event or occasion. But Journaling Delights alone can give you a quick and beautiful card in practically no time at all. Since Journaling Delights come in so many designs, shapes and sizes, it’s easy to find a design that will work for the occasion.

Below I’ve included samples of a few images from Journaling Delights sets that I have used for quick and easy cards. There are so many to choose from it was hard to select just these few!

To print your card, open your browser and go to Journaling Delights. From the Category drop-down box in the upper right corner, select Journaling Delights or Jillustration. Browse the Sub Categories to find the Journaling Delights set that best fits the theme you are looking for.
Select the image you want to use and Click the ‘Add’ to place the image on the clipboard.
Move to the layout page and click the image in the ‘Image’ box to place it on the page. Select the image and then click ‘Size Image’. Choose the dimensions of your card, as large or as small as you would like, and enter them in the appropriate boxes. (To be sure that your image sizes proportionally, check the ‘Constrained’ box for the width or height.)
When you finalize the image’s position on the layout page, remember which direction you are going to have the card open and place it accordingly to allow for plenty of cardstock on the proper side. For example, if you are creating a card that will open from the bottom, with the fold on top, be sure to place the image far enough down on the page to create the folded side.
Print your layout page, trim the card, doubling the width or height for the folded side, and then fold and personalize with a handwritten note.
