20 cards in 20 minutes


Pressed for time but want to send out hand stamped Christmas cards?
Me too!

Here's a design that uses one stamp (Impress Merry & Bright Chalk), a pre-cut and scored card) (Memory Box), one ink (Hero Arts Unicorn) and some glitter glue (Ranger Stickles).  The large stamp contains everything you need -- sentiment and accents so all I did was stamp at a slight angle.

Using the assembly line method, I made 20 cards in 20 minutes!  I varied the colors of the cards, using what I had on hand.  Most of them are the Memory Box Graphite cards that produce a fun "chalkboard" look that is so popular now, but I slipped in a few other colors as well.





MOOD WHEN DONE = Well, I started the day dragging and a bit overwhelmed but I'm wrapping up the afternoon feeling Merry and Bright!

Fan-freakin-tastic ... the stickles are the perfect finishing touch.

Wonderful! I really need to sort myself out on cards for Christmas. Still have a birthday card to finish before I can focus on them.

I'll take 70!! (actually, it would probably be much less now....since someone (cough, cough) hasn't sent out Christmas cards for several years now!! I'm guessing I'm off a LOT of lists! LOL!
