Production Line Christmas Cards

By
When I make cards I like to make them unique  - one of a kind and naturally I make only one! This changes at Christmas and because this year I've not made any Christmas Cards throughout the year I have to make up for lost time!
Today I will show you how I made eight cards in next to no time. 



First take an A4 sheet of Whisper White card stock and sponge on some blue ink - Dapper Denim.
 Take the fir tree image from Lovely as a Tree and stamp it multiple times top and bottom of the card stock - Emerald Envy.
 Make sure you clean the stamp thoroughly and then using Versamark ink stamp the tree again over the green trees. Vary the height of the images, add white embossing powder and heat set. Fill in any gaps. Do this top and bottom.

Cut the card in half giving you two strips of trees.
Now cut the strips into panels - I managed to get eight pieces.
 Intensify the blue inking for the sky and also the edges.
Add glitter - lots of it. It is Christmas afterall!
Take a white card blank and stamp a Christmas greeting in red ink - Real Red. Attach a panel and voila - your card is complete.  Repeat until all eight are complete. 









Hope you liked this little tutorial  - I really enjoyed making these and it means I have eight cards to add to the pile!
Thanks for stopping by today  - see you soon - J xxx

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...

For one reason or another I haven't played this game for a few weeks - you know the one over on  Julia's blog  - go and see if you don't know what I'm on about. I have missed playing along as I love all the lovely comments left by fellow crafters and so I have purposely made time to join in this week. My work space is quite long and this week I have managed to use up all available surfaces .........with mess! starting at the left hand end  This is the devestation left from yestersday's Project Tuesday challenge and some atc making.
