Impossible you say?? Nope. I beg to differ. Today I will show you how I turned 3 printed Scrapbook papers, some
cardstock, a bit of adhesive, a handful of rubber stamps and a
Versamark and Jet Black
Stazon ink pads into 24 Christmas Cards, size 6 x 4 1/4 inches. I began with 3 coordinated papers from this stack from Joann's.
Since I am sharing so many pics I
left them at medium size. Please click on them to view larger!!
Here are the 3 sheets I choose. It is important to choose papers with lots of focal images and stripes.
First thing I did was cut each paper into
segments and sections and set aside.
I designed them to fit in these ready made envies from
Walmart. While I simply adore handmade envies, due to the sheer number of cards I will need for this Christmas I will be jazzing these up with some rubber stamping instead.
I grabbed some coordinating cardstock and made up the cards. To give them a bit of pizazz, I used a snowflakes background stamp and my Versamark pad on all of the card fronts.
This is how little waste I had left from cutting up the three sheets of scrapbook paper.
These are the images that were still left over after making 24 cards!! :)
Drum roll..........and here they are in sections of four. All are similar, yet different. I used Jet Black Stazon ink and a few stamps to give each one a little greeting on the fonts.
I continue to work on my Christmas Cards.....of course Iris Folding is still my fave technique. Here are 4 Pine trees that used 4 coordinating green papers and similar, yet different layouts and patterns. I like how they turned out. :) I have 4 more apertures ready to go, just need to sit down and do the folding!! Just sharing.....
