Question Need easy ideas for 20 girls

Hi!

I've taken a break from stamping for several years now, so I'm pretty rusty with coming up with new ideas. Anyway, I need some design help please. I have to find a few designs that 20 girls (ages 7-13) can easily replicate, as well as not being too costly (not too many embellishments). They will have about 20 minutes to work and need to make at least 2 different cards each (they're donating them to a nursing home.)

Thank you so much for your help!

Thanks for the idea, megeallen! Unfortunately, those are probably a little too small for this project. These have to be regular size as they are being given to a nursing home. I think it might be tough for the residents. (Some of the cards are also being sent to the military for them to use.)

I need some design ideas, like layout or something. Any gallery examples are greatly appreciated. I just haven't made a card in about 3 years now! Yikes! (I sure do miss it.)

Thank you!!

If you have reinkers, you could do the baby wipe on glossy paper techinique to create a background. Then all you need to do is stamp an image on the paper, mount it to the card, stamp or write a message inside and you are done. My young niece loves to do this. Some of her backgrounds can be very creative to say the least. Good luck.

I think that Clean and Simple might be what you are looking for. Here is a thread that may help. As the title says, they are clean and simple and quick to make. not fussy and just right for younger stampers!
