Along with carrying them in your purse for whenever inspiration hits, I tried to picture another scenario where these compact and functional mini ink pads might be really useful. Imagine you’re rushing out the door to a birthday party, a wedding celebration, or just a gathering with your friends, and then you realize you have no greeting card to give — we’ve all been there. I decided to use the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/project-life?limit=100\"\u003eAmerican Craft Project Life Jade cards\u003c\/a\u003e, which are perfect for creating a quick and easy set of greeting cards for any occasion. I wanted to fashion a set of inspirational cards with a mixed-media vibe, so I combined the Project Life cards with torn kraft paper, and dipped into my stash of Distress Ink Minis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eProject Life Quick \u0026amp; Easy Cards Tutorial:\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eFirst, tear the edges off some \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/paper-collections?limit=100\"\u003eEco Natural Ruled Kraft Paper\u003c\/a\u003e and adhere to three \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cards-and-journals?limit=100\"\u003ewhite cards\u003c\/a\u003e. You don’t have to tear, you can keep the kraft paper as is and add some straight angles for a more modern look. Or, you could do both and incorporate straight lines and torn edges. Next, stamp various textures from \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/dina-wakley-collection?limit=100\"\u003eDina Wakley\u003c\/a\u003e’s Media Cling Texture Stamps using the mini ink pads. Once your ink is dry, fold over the edge of each card and adhere.
