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.

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!
