Some Christmas Cheer!

Another day, another Christmas card!  I do so love making Christmas cards – they’re my favourite !  Also LOVING my Lil Inkers dies – look at that bow!!  This sentiment stamp (from Stylish Sentiments: Holiday from PTI) is one of my favourite all time stamps – because it’s a quote from one of my favourite all time Christmas films – Elf!

Production Line!

So here’s what I discovered this week…  I can actually mass produce cards!!  I have never ever been able to make more than a couple of the same design cards – I just get bored very quickly.  This means when it comes to Christmas, it takes me forever to get the 80 or so cards that I need done.  Well I’ve had SO much on these past couple of months that this year I just have had no choice but to make a big bundle of the same (or very nearly – none are identical!!).  To be honest – it wasn’t THAT bad – and I managed to make about 30 of these!  I’m still short by about 20 (I have others I have been making along the way too) so will need to come up with another design for those!!

(Deer Christmas)
Stamps: Lil Inkers Instant Camera Christmas(Lil Inkers), Holiday Lights (PTI)
Cardstock: PTI, Pink Petticoat
Dies: Leaping Deer (Memory Box), Stitched rectangles (Lil Inkers)
