One of my favorite techniques for making multiple cards in quick succession is “One Sheet Wonder”! It’s so versatile because you can cut your card parts ahead of time, following a simple template, and they go together so quickly! Here’s the basic formula: Take one 12×12 sheet of Designer Series Paper, cut it into 4″ strips, then cut each strip according to the template. Generally this makes 14 or more cards! Cut your other card layers in coordinating colors, as listed in the instructions and pick 1 or 2 stamp sets that go with your theme. Punch or die-cut any other layers listed. Pick some embellishments such as ribbon, doilies, rhinestones and pearls, add a couple of snail adhesives, a dimensional pack, card bases and envelopes (Whisper white or Very Vanilla) and finally, coordinating inks, and you are ready to assemble! Honestly, the prep takes longer than the actual card making!
I’ll share my template tomorrow, along with some more cards.
