Sweet card and the recipients should love them.
Thanks so much for watching!
Very helpful to watch your process and hear where you made changes to your design. Thanks for sharing!
Ah, the best-laid plans always need tweaking! LOL! Thanks for watching!
Great ideas and tips! Thanks so much!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the tips and sharing the video!! Thanks so much
Thanks for watching!
So many great ideas! TYFS 🤗
Thanks so much! 😊
Pretty card and great tips!
Thanks for watching!
I love the cards you made. The tip on stamping the angels using the template will be very helpful!
Thanks so much!
Loved this!
Thanks for watching!
I think these turned out so beautiful! I love the colors that you selected! I enjoyed watching your process! Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you so much!
This was very helpful. I was glad to hear the time it took and all the great tips!
Glad you enjoyed it! If you are interested in learning more about doing multiples, I'm doing a class at the Card Maker Success Summit in July on this topic - the summit is free - you can go to cardmakersuccess.com and get on the list to get more info closer to the time. Thanks for watching!
I enjoyed this video very much! Your tips are most helpful! Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching!
I love how each one is slightly different. The joy of handmade cards. So much better than what I came up with a couple years ago. I kept changing the colours of the stamping. Which looked fine, but this is faster and you get so much more! Well done! TFS!
Haha! I've been doing this for a number of years now, so I've gotten very efficient, but there's still more to learn, every time! Thanks so much for watching!
As I made multiples this month, I realized the die I used needed a cardstock shim. It us beautiful, Tim Holtz, three wisemen and their camels I didn't check, so spent over 2 hours poking and brushing trying to get out all the little pieces. Thankfully only 20 of this design. Some tore and I'll use them anyway. It won't be noticed by most people. Lesson learned.
Thank you so much, Ardyth fir this video. I really needed to see the how to. 🥰🇨🇦🥰
Been there! lol! I bet your cards are stunning - I know that die! Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for all these great hints. Not to give it a whirl in my craft room.
LOL! I'd love to hear any tips you come up with! Thanks for watching, Kristine!
Thanks for good tips! I usually batch make about 60 Christmas cards each year and you showed me some new things. I appreciate it.
Yay! So glad it was helpful for you! Thanks for watching!
Kewl idea!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this info Ardyth.
God bless you ❤ XOXO
Thanks for watching, Wendy!
Looking forward to seeing this each month. I also make hundreds of cards for Christmas, but I find myself making them all at once since I make them all the same. I always start months in advance & set up an assembly line & do all like items at the same time. Awesome card. ;0)
Yay! I'd love it if you shared any tips you have for being efficient! Thanks for watching!
Great video! What a unique fundraising opportunity for your church too.
It doesn't raise a ton of money - maybe $500, but I love to help in this way. Thanks for watching!
TFS! I always love batch and assembly line type tips. 💙💙💙💙
Me too! Let me know if you have any I missed! I still have a lot of cards to make! LOL!
very ambitious, but also very informative. A few Christmases ago I did 60 of the same card, but they were extremely simple cards. Since then I've only sent out a very few Christmas cards to my very closest friends. TFS oxox
I have been doing this for about 10 years, and it is definitely a commitment! lol! I try to keep my designs simple and my supplies inexpensive. Thanks for watching!
Fantastic assembly production Ardyth, awesome tips and I learn so much just watching you! Thank you for sharing ❤
Thanks for watching Ishani!
This is a brilliant! I try to donate 300 cards to the USO, do 60 for my church, and if I can, do 35 for my mom's church. I also do 55 Valentine's day, mother's day, and easter for my church. I'd like to do those for mom's too. I do 10 to 15 church birthday cards a month.
There are several ideas in here that I will be using. Those inked lines that you can reuse, BRILLIANT!!!!! I too am lousy at keeping count. I use a vagabond 2 for die cutting, but I am.now sometimes copying solid images and putting them in my scan n cut for mass production
WOW! I thought I make a lot of cards! I would love it if you shared some tips that you use! I love learning how to be more efficient! I do think a scan'n'cut would be great for mass production! Thanks so much for watching!
@@ardyth I think you are AMAZING at mass producing!
I enjoy cut and emboss folders. I have one from Spellbinders that works for anytime, and a Christmas tree one from sizzix that I was able to put glossy cardstock that I had alcohol inked behind the tree as kind of a sky. That Christmas tree one went fast! I already had the inked cardstock, and it was cut to fit in the "window", NOT full card panel size. I will look and see if I can find the name of it.
I'm a HUGE fan of having sentiments on die cuts in containers to grab and use. I use steel rule dies for this. A favorite is the TH Trinket frames. I use the inside not the frame. White or cream scraps usually get cut for this purpose.
I like using a stamp platform and sitting with sentiments that fit in the size die cuts I have. If its not a trinket frame I like to have a piece that the die was cut out of so I can slide it in the hole. I hope that makes sense. I learned it from RUclips. I also LOVE Taylored Expressions simple strips! This seems like an unneeded extra step, but you don't screw up your cards at that last step.
If I am doing a background, I usually do the entire 8.5x11 sheet, and then cut it down. I will cut first and try your inking technique with distress or distress oxides.
I look forward to these monthly videos!!!
@@ardyth part 2 Sizzix impresslets embossing folder magic of the season. I bought it on sale from Sizzix.com. I used green paper, and as I said before, the alcohol inked paper in the "window " behind the tree. I didn't use the smaller dies. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this for mass production Christmas cards!
I enjoy playing with alcohol inks, and the silver adds a special touch to the sky. Obviously, you can do whatever you like. I don't always assembly line. Sometimes I simply enjoy creating, and then cut those papers down when it comes time to mass produce. That helps me retain the joy of creating.
Wow! Thanks for all of this - lots to think about working into my processes! Thanks so much!
I am heading to look for that impresslets right now! And I agree that it's really about enjoying the process however you do it. Thanks so much for all the information!
Thanks for the excellent tips! I tend to make multiple cards of the same design but I never feel I do it efficiently. Your video will certainly help.
I hope so! And if you have tips, I'd love to hear them! Thanks so much for watching!
Great tips and the stamps you used for your church are wonderful. I am applying some of your tips right now... I have multiple cards on my desk right now. I tend to misplace small pieces so I am cutting all needed and keeping them together... going back to recut in the middle of the job is frustrating!
I tend to misplace just about everything - trying to stay organized is a challenge for me! Thanks for watching, Denise!
I used to make 250 cards every month for Great Impressions. Wood block stamps and Marcy markers..... DEFINITE fan of assembly line 😂
Holy moly! That's A LOT! I remember building lego templates for my wood block stamps wedding invitations. Thank goodness for the MISTI! Thanks for watching, Kelli!
I love this video! I struggle with how to create multiples or sets of cards without getting cards that are too, well, plain. Simple is fine, but half naked cards not so much! And I really like this background technique.
I hear that - it's a tricky balance! Thanks so much for watching!
Great tips and beautiful cards, Ardyth! Can you share the link or better describe Jennifer's tip for using an embossing mat in your sandwich? TIA!
The Gemini Junior die-cutting 'sandwich' includes a cutting plate, magnetic shim, plastic shim and top plate. I just happened to notice that Jennifer taped the magnetic and plastic shims together so there's only 3 pieces. Hope that helps clarify! Thanks for watching!
This is such a great video - thanks for taking the time to do it! I really like the design and all your tips!
Thanks so much - working on the next one.... coming Feb 23!
Thanks for sharing your process. It'll help me in the future when I'm ready to make cards for a card drive.
Yay! I'm glad you found it helpful! Thanks so much for watching!
I am making thank you tags to take on my upcoming Disney trip to give out to cast members. Just yesterday I was struggling with the “how do I do this efficiently “ question. Ardyth to the rescue!! Thank you so much for sharing your talent and knowledge! Also, those cards are lovely!
I rescued you?! That made my day! LOL! Thanks so much for watching, and have an amazing time on your trip!
I need to make multiple birthday cards for my Girls Brigade. This video is very helpful. Thanks for thinking of others and sharing these tips.
I'm so glad found this helpful! I'd love it if you share anything you learn when you make your cards! Always looking for a better way to do things! Thanks so much!
Sweet cards and a lovely idea! Thank you for the tips! Ardyth, you are one of my favorite creators! So easy to listen to and follow!❤️
You are very sweet, Dawn! Thanks so much!
Ardyth, I loved this video!! Thank you so much for sharing your process with us. It was extremely helpful! ❤️
I make birthday cards for everyone in my Church, and sometimes I need to mass produce in order to keep up. I’ll be using some of your tips for sure!
Yay! I hope you'll share any tips you have, as well! Thanks for watching!
300!!!!! Thank you Ardyth, this is cool! My hat off to you!!! I can do this, like 30. What is an archon mount? Where do we get one? :-)
An Arkon mount is a tool for holding your phone over your work surface so you can record video. If you don't make videos, you probably don't need one. You can buy direct from Arkon or on Amazon. Thanks for watching!
@@ardyth Thank you! I want to clarify my comment. I feel as though I can do this because of your great tips. I don’t know about 300 but 30 sounds doable 😉
@@created2bless322 I have no doubt you can do it. Or that you will find your own tips and efficiencies as you go through it! Enjoy!
Fabulous vidio Ardyth. I found lots of tips and ideas. I’m going to try and do a few each month with you to save the rush at the end of year.
Thank you so much for the inspiration.
T x
Last year, I didn't do it - I let time get away from me, and I felt bad when the church handed out store-bought cards! gas'!) LOL! So this year will be different! I'm glad you were inspired! Thanks for watching!
Ardyth, why don’t you stamp sentiments on the inside of the cards?
As I explained in the video, the Church prints an insert for the inside of the cards. I often stamp sentiments in the insides of Christmas cards I send personally. Thanks so much for watching!
💖💖💖🌹🤓
Thank you!
Will you be sharing more mass producing videos?
I have a playlist of the videos I've made so far this year with mass-production tips. One of the churches is not using the cards this year, so I don't need to make as many as I have in the past, so there will likely be one more video of this type this year, but not monthly, as I had originally planned. Thanks for watching!
Ardyth Percy-Robb I have found some of your tips helpful. I enjoy mass producing more so than one of a kind cards
Do you put white inside for the writing of message?
Since they are for the Church to send to families, they photocopy an insert of all the families participating in the fundraiser and tape it inside. Shown in the video, near the beginning. Thanks for watching!
Ardyth Percy-Robb Oh, I think I get it, lol.
