Making Multiples of the Same Card




At Christmas time I like to send out a lot of cards, my family and close friends get a special one of a kind card.  For everyone else I like to find ways easy ways to make a lot of cards.   
  
 Here's a quick way to make multiples of the same Christmas Card.  I used three different stamps sets December 25th Labels, Elegant Christmas Sentiments and Build A Stocking. I used all the snowflakes, a sentiment and and flourish.

1)  Arrange your stamps on your cardstock until you get a design you like.
2) Line your stamp press grid with the edges of your card.  I used the left and lower edge of my card as my reference point.   Press down to stick the stamps to the Stamp Press.  NOTE:  If you don't have a stamp press you could use a large acrylic blog with grids on it.  

3)  Flip the stamp press over and apply your ink to the stamps.  For this card I used embossing ink.

4) Flip the press back over.  Line it up again with the edge of your card and stamp down firmly.  Re-ink stamps and repeat on as many cards as you would like!




Here's my card ready for me to heat emboss the images.

  2. Thanks for the tip, I think I'll need to do the same thing this year. Keeping it CAS will save a lot of time too, the thing about CAS is that it takes time to come up with an idea for a design, but the execution is in general quick and easy...
