Hello friends and Happy Monday, Ilda here.

This week the Honey Bee Stamps Design Team is showcasing Clean & Simple Christmas Cards and simple ways to mass-produce them for the Holidays. CAS is not my forte, but I think these came out beautifully.

CARD DETAILS

To start, I trimmed card fronts using patterned paper to 4.25 x 5.5 inches, from the LOG CABIN Paper Pad. I then glued them onto the front of the A2 sized card bases.

Now, let me show you my process in pictures so you can see how easily these cards were made. For the sake of variety, I changed the sentiments, but you could totally keep the same sentiment to simplify things even further and use the same paper too. Refer to the number in the picture below for directions.

1. Load the card into the stamping tool and stamp out the sentiment directly onto the patterned paper.
2. Line up the coordinating die with the stamped sentiment.
3. Die-cut the sentiment from the top panel of the card front and place it back into the stamping tool.
4. Stamp the sentiment out again. This time it will stamp directly onto the inside of the card. 

SO simple and easy right!?! You can leave them as is now, or take these a step further like I did. 

To this card, I added some crystal drops, twine, and a button. This is a great way to use up all those embellishments I know you all have been hoarding in your craft room like me ????

This next card, I added some more crystal drops, twine, and another button. When was the last time you added a button to your card?!

To this pink beauty, I added some of the CRYSTAL PRISM GEM STICKERS that I glued on top of a few BLIZZARD CONFETTI and the snowflakes from LOG CABIN Sequins. I also used washi tape, ribbon and again a button!

To this winter snowflake beauty, I added a few CRYSTAL PRISM GEM STICKERS, twine and you guessed it, another button!

This last card, I even did a little gold embossing. The only reason I did was beacause the coordinating die did not cut out the leaves, and black ink on black paper is barely visible. Since the ink I used was slow drying I added a little embossing powder to the wet ink to heat set it and make it pop off the black paper. To the bottom of the card, I just added some more washi tape and gold gems to the center of the snowflakes.

If you are looking for easy ways to mass-produce your holiday cards I hope you try out this technique. Hopefully, I have inspired you to use up your patterned papers and embellishments that I know you all have been holding on to!

Thank you for stopping. Wishing you all a great week and until next time… Happy Crafting ????
