Yesterday I asked a question on Facebook, "Have you started your Christmas Cards yet?" The answers were very mixed…yes, no, and done! If you are in the "No" category, be sure to stay tuned over the next week to get inspired and learn my tips and tricks for Mass Producing Christmas Cards! This first card in the series is super simple, yet gorgeous at the same time. Don’t you love cards like that? Measurements:
This simple layout can be adapted to so many different stamp sets, too. Don’t limit yourself just because you don’t have this stamp set! When you are mass producing cards, keep the design simple. Cut all the cardstock first, and all the same size at the same time. For example, cut all the bases at the same time, then move on to the first layer. Same with stamping…stamp all the trees first. Then, stamp all the greetings. Then, do all the glitter. Lastly, do all the adhesive at the same time. It will go much faster this way instead of individually making each card one by one.

Moving Cards: Stocking Pop-Up Christmas Card!November 2nd, 2011 Posted on November 2nd, 2011, 15 responses.
This looks like an ordinary Christmas Card, right? A cute little stocking with my favorite Jingle Bells, some Holly Berry Bouquet Designer Series Paper, and some textured cardstock…cute and fun.
Now, imagine opening it up looking for the regular ole run-of-the-mill Christmas Gretting and signature. Instead, you find this:
A Pop-up element that is sure to surprise and delight the recipient! I’m not joking when I say this is SO STINKIN’ SIMPLE! Watch! Yes, I Know! Easy peasy! Can you tell I was pumped about this card? I have a really fun idea to take this type of card up even another notch and add even more fun and surprise to the inside of this card….that video will be coming to StampNation within a week. Be on the lookout! Also, members, I’ve been doing my homework. Many of you asked for more fall projects…they are coming! TONS of awesome things are going on at StampNation….

Happy Thursday, friends! Halloween is quickly decending upon us! Wow! I’ll be running in to school tomorrow with some treats for the teachers and Eva’s Fall Learning Experience (they don’t have holiday parties any more!). This crazy Out on a Limb Spinner Card will likely be the last Halloween card of the season. I’m a bit sad to put these goodies up! Out on a Limb and Wicked Cool have served me well this year, that’s for sure! Spinner Cards have been around for years and they are very easy to do!

Happy Friday everyone! It’s going to be a wonderful fall weekend! Leave me a comment and tell me what fall fun you are going to have! Anna is going to her first dance tonight (she turned 12 yesterday…click here to see the birthday card my 6 year old made for her!) and we are going to the North Carolina State Fair on Sunday. Randall is so stoked. I only "approve" of an every-other-year trip to the fair. It’s expensive and my husband gets so excited and wants to see every single thing and ride every ride and he runs around like a maniac and I end up exhausted way before he is ready to leave! Every. Single. Time. Wish me luck! On to today’s card and tutorial! I hopped over to the Moxie Fab blog and saw the Tuesday Trigger inspiration photo… before I knew it, stampin’ goodies were flyin’! I immediately knew the Hello, Doily stamp embossed in silver on Tempting Turquoise Cardstock was the way to go! A bit of Basic Gray Satin Ribbon and the Eyelet Border Punch finished it off. What do you think?

Just looking at this card I can feel the crisp fall air and almost smell apple pie in the oven. Oooh, I’m ready for fall!
Oh, my goodness. I am loving the cork that Stampin’ Up carries. I’ve actually had it for a while and not used it. It was great to work with…thin and flexible and it added some divine texture to the card. Thanks to Splitcoaststampers for the sketch, it is lovely! Here’s a quick video showing how I made this card.
