Merry & Bright Christmas Cards - Batch Making a Stack. The Project Share Project Blog Hop December 2023

 Good Morning Everyone,

Happy Saturday!

Today i'm taking part in The Project Share Project Blog Hop - we share weekly, but once a month we all create something Brand New and do a little hop to share with you all. This month or theme is Winter/Christmas - which was a welcome theme as i am So behind with my Christmas Crafting!

With that in mind I've designed a super simple card using the Merry & Bright DSP and the Sending Cheer Bundle, which is perfect for Batch making - all the steps are relatively straight forward and if you do multiples of each stage as you get to them then created a huge stack of these can be done in no time. Plus, the beauty of the DSP and Stamp design means you do not scrimp on quality of design to get those numbers up!

I'm just showing the Santa Hat Version, but there's a stocking and a present which would also look fabulous!

Merry & Bright DSP

1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"

------------------------------------------------------

Take the Thick basic white card stock and fold along the score line to create your card base, adding the DSP to the card front.

Using the Sending Cheer Dies and yoru Cut & Emboss machine cut out the following

Santa Hat - Real Red card

Santa hat fluff - Basic White Card

Label/Tag - Balmy Blue

Piece together the Santa hat and add some wink of stella to the white pieces.

Add this along with the tag cut out in the centre of the card front, but over to the left.

On scraps of Basic White stamp the sentiment blocks with different bright colours and them just trim down. Add the To You and Yours right at the top, then add the rest to fill the right hand side.

Super Simple right! To batch these easily, all you need to do is break all the steps down and when cutting or sticking do multiples at once. So, cut all your card bases first, cut all the DSP panels, then fold all the bases, stick all the DSP down, do all the die cutting at once and the stamping etc.

I hope you have enjoyed my project today! Please take a moment to continue through the hop and check out what the other ladies have created today - you are sure to get some great Christmas crafting inspiration. Click below to head over to Jayne's Blog.
