Spreading Holiday Joy
Hi readers! It’s getting close to that time of year where we all send out Holiday cards to our friends & family. It’s so fun to receive lots of different kinds of cards, but sometimes when sitting down to MAKE the cards you’ll be sending out it can be a bit daunting! There are ways to make it easier! The highlight of these cards is this lovely collaboration between Clearly Besotted & Simon Says Stamp!
I’m excited to share this fun design made by Stephanie Wincott with you today, along with some tips and tricks below on mass producing!
-
Keep it simple, the simpler the better
-
Keep embellishments to a minimum to keep shipping costs down – one layer cards are best
-
Easy way to add variety is by just changing the colour scheme, or by using a variety of sentiments
-
Have a conveyor belt type system in place – completing one element completely at a time (i.e. cutting card down to size, then stamping, then adding embellishments etc.)

These are very pretty and simple. The conveyor belt system is a great idea. I personally won’t use it because I never duplicate any of the cards I make. I love the challenge of creating something different with each card. Looking forward to more great holiday inspiration!
