I know I’m not alone. You suddenly remember a “fill in the blank” party and need a card. You go to your stash and you have everything in the world there EXCEPT the kind of card you need.

I found myself in that situation Saturday. My husband and I wanted to attend a graduation party for one of the young men in our church and I had no card that was suitable for this. Off to the craft room I went with one hour to create a card before I needed to head out the door. Sometimes my best cards are made with me in a time crunch and this one is no exception. 

I used things from my stash for this project and I’m pretty please with the outcome.

Products Used:

Sizzix Black Card stock: https://shrsl.com/435df (this is not the exact pack of card stock that I have but it’s the same black card stock.)

• Using the oval die, cut a black oval for the focal point of the card.
