Probably my biggest tip for making mass produced cards is to pick a clean and simple design. I'm not good at coloring. It takes me HOURS to color! No joke! So for me I need to choose a design that involves stamping instead of coloring. And it really really makes things faster to use a stamp platform. My favorite is the MISTI! I used it in just about every step for these cards! Check out my video above for even more tips for mass produced cards!
I chose to use the Snow Flurry stamp set from Concord & 9th because of the large snowflake image. It takes up almost the whole card front! I stamped the snowflake in a mint ink on all 50 of my cards with my Mini MISTI before moving on to the next step. This helps make things go faster! I filled in the inner part of the snowflake with some ice blue ink. Again - I did this for all 50 of my cards. I added a sentiment from the Snow Flurry stamp set with Versafine Onyx Black Ink right on top of the stamped snowflake.
I wanted to add some fun embellishments to my cards, but since I was making 50 of them I needed something simple. Pink & Main has a whole bunch of Glossy Dots and I really love how the Rose Gold Glossy Dots pair with the mint and blue stamping in the background!
