10 minute cards

I woke up yesterday morning and realised that I did not have anywhere near enough Christmas cards made (I live under that rock remember, it’s called Bev’s Denial hahaha).  So, after doing a quick whip round the house with duster and hoover I was on a mission to get a heap of cards done.  I managed 20 in just over 3 hours, making two different styles using only the one paper pad with minimum stamping.  Quite pleased with myself, seeing as the mojo has gone in a huff again because I have been paying way too much attention to my Kindle. (edited to add – card blanks were already pre-cut and scored and the flowers were already pulled apart so all I had to do was cut the card and papers, then the die cutting then spray and assemble the flowers.  It was all done like a factory assembly line.  The things we have to do hey?  Not my ideal way of making cards, I hate duplicating cards but needs must).

The paper pad is Basic Grey Aspen Frost, the stamps I used are Whimsy Stamps – I just used sentiments from the Tis the Season Nobables 5.  The poinsettia is from Wild Orchid Crafts, I pulled it apart, spritzed it with a watered down mix of Aged Mahogany Distress Stain and put it back together with a spacer and pearl brad.  A couple of die cut corners, a bit of ribbon and job done.  They are just A6 cards but great for a girl on a mission lol.  I will post a pic of the second style (with a bit of stamping and colouring) tomorrow.
