I thought I'd show some photos of how I put together my family's Christmas card... I make a ton of them, so I need to piece it apart and do it assembly line-style.
I started with a 5.25 x 4-inch piece of Wild Wasabi. Above, you see it with a piece of Chocolate Chip, run through my Big Shot with the Perfect Pennants Die. I laced the Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding Ribbon through the holes of the die cut...
This is a picture of the pieces of Jolly Holiday Designer Series Paper that I've punched using the Scallop Edge Border Punch. I've done the same thing below with a piece of Cherry Cobbler card stock before I ran it through the Big Shot in the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.
The sentiment is from the Petite Pairs set.
The chickadee is stamped again on Very Vanilla, punched
with the 1-1/4-inch Circle Punch and then mounted on a circle of Cherry
Cobbler, punched with a 1-3/8-inch Circle Punch. To make it stand out, I colored the holly
berries with my Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Marker. If I weren't making 150+ of these, I'd
probably color the "highlighted" image in it's entirety with
Watercolor Pencils.
All in all, this was a manageable card to make. The optimum way to do this is in phases, like
this (just wish I hadn't made them as close to Christmas--I was really cranking
them out toward the end!).
