Often times there is no time to relax, kindle the creative flame and design a stack of cards.  This rush can occur when it comes to thank you notes after holidays and birthdays.  You need multiple cards to be sent out directly after the special day.  As much fun as it is to play in the ink, embellishments often lend themselves to creating a "quick" card.  Keep your eye out for small flat embellishments that would work in the center front of the card.  Buy them and stash them in a safe place for the day you need "something fast". A small sparkly snowflake attached with a brad and this small organdy bag (1 1/2" x 1 3/4") make great centerpieces for a card.  Both items were found in seasonal item displays.  We used our 1 1/2" square punch to create an insert in the bag.  We stamped "thanks", but it could have been any greeting.

Search the mark down displays after every holiday for small great finds.  We found these outstanding interactive tags at our local grocery store.  The original price was $2 for 8 tags (not a bad price for a moving tag of this sort). With after holiday discounts of  75% off, these were a steal and we cleared them out.

If you are a scrapper, you have stickers of all all types that can be made into a quick card.   Stickers can be expensive.  We picked these stickers up on markdown tables.  Size and distinctiveness should be kept in mind.  Our sticker on the left is embossed.  We simply mounted it to silver cardstock and added silver cording.  The sticker on the right was chosen as would easily fit into a square punched window.
