Assembly Line Card-Making
Laurie is up this week on MIM sharing some tips for whipping up lots of cards for Christmas or any other occasion, assembly line style. Check her video HERE.
Okay, I have to admit, this is a new-for-me concept. I tend to re-invent the wheel each time I make a card, which is totally crazy especially after a card is finished and mailed off, I think
"Wow, I shoulda~woulda~coulda made a few of that one!"

I don't have those totally adorable little mice stamps/dies yet, but they are definitely on my Wish List for the next order :o)
Had to go with glittery red Song Birds and different colored green leaves with white berry die cuts. The bird is sitting on a silver glitter tape at the bottom. I planned on using the wood grain embossing folder on all, but tried a Pine Branch and Swiss Dot EF on a couple and thought they made a pretty background plus a little bit of a difference on each card~~so, not quite re-inventing the wheel on these ;-)
I used that die set for a different card but I loved it and can't wiat to try more ideas with it. Beautiful cards!
ReplyDeleteWOW...each one of these is just beautiful Helen! I love that you changed each one just a little with the embossed backgrounds and the different shades of green leaves. CAS perfection...love them all!! :0)

ReplyDeleteLove that glittery red bird! And your backgrounds are gorgeous, setting a perfect backdrop for a perfect design. 4 beauties, Helen!
ReplyDeleteSimple but nicely done...love your use of embossing folders for background. I always forget about those and have quite a stash.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourites of the lineup, Helen. Gorgeous colours and I love how you varied your embossed backgrounds - it's no more work for you, but it adds something special to the set.
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards and design Helen!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun set of cards, Helen! You really rock Songbirds in so many awesome ways, and these are no exception. Great idea to emboss different backgrounds and vary the green leaves!
ReplyDeleteRight?!?! I also suffer from that, why not make 5 more of the same.....eep! Your cards are beautiful, carefully designed and crafted. LOVE that sweet glittery song bird with the Red Cardinal like qualities, it's gorgeous! Fab cards! Merry Merry!

ReplyDeletethese are so sweet Helen! I love the strip of silver at the bottom of each card and how each one is just a little bit different. I can totally relate to the "coulda, shoulda, woulda's"! Songbirds is always a bit hit!
