My friend Julia told me the other day that she has only got one Christmas card (which she made at the crop). Worse than that, she’s busy on Thursday when I’m having a stamp a stack at my house. So I decided to create a few quick and easy cards that will be good for mass production. All we have to do is to figure out when we can make them. My first card was a bit too simple and then I decided to get out my rather large amount of DSP. Specifically the Season of Cheer DSP.

This was exactly what I wanted – I cut the DSP at 5.25″ by 4″ so this means 6 cards from a piece of 12 by 12 and there are 2 of each pattern in the pack. That’s 11 that Julia could make of this design and it’s fast to do. In a production line it would be easy to stamp all the sentiments, cut them out with the ovals dies and cut out the larger night of navy ovals. Then it’s a very simple matter of gluing together the ovals, gluing the DSP to a night of navy card base and popping up the sentiment with dimensionals and placing it on the card.

I then took the scrap left and added a strip to dress up the envelope. Also quick and easy and makes everything coordinate. I find that I love that!

So if you’re in the same position as Julia, grab some DSP and make some quick cards. I have a few more in the upcoming days to help with last minute “need some more cards” issues.

See you tomorrow,
