Here’s one to consider if you need to mass-produce a bunch of Christmas cards and you have very little time! This card takes just two minutes from start to finish. It’s only got one layer, so there’s virtually no measuring and cutting, if that scres you. It can be done with any set that has at least three sizes of snow flakes in it (for instance, the very popular Snow Swirled set, which so many of you purchased during last month’s Never Before Seen promotion!) Assemble your supplies and then time yourself just for fun!
Fold a half sheet of Brilliant Blue cardstock in half to form a side-opening card. Tear off about an inch from the side of the front cover only. Using Encore Silver ink, stamp little snowflakes on the inside of the card where they will show when the card is closed. Stamp the largest snowflake on the front cover. Stamp a saying inside. Stamp a snowflake on the envelope, too! Tie a knot of silver metallic cord around the fold. DONE!
As Chef Emeril would say, "kick it up a notch" by embossing the large focal point snowflake and inside saying if you’d like. But as many of you have already discovered, the Encore Silver ink pad is an easy way to add an elegant sheen, especially on darker, rich colors of cardstock.
And a "cool" note– you can get the cardstock, ink and cord to make 48 cards for less than $20 bucks! Add a pack of envelopes and you’re still only paying about fifty cents per card for something much prettier and a lot more meaningful than the flimsy cards from Walmart. So go to my website today and try out the new online ordering! I will be giving a FREE cardstock sampler ring of our 48 exclusive colors to the first three people to order this week. www.Lyssa.stampinup.net
What a great card. You are right about it being easy to mass produce.
Great simple card. Right up my alley!
