Overwhelmed With Making A Lot Of Cards?

Making a lot of cards can be overwhelming. I mean, let’s be honest… it can take an hour or two to make a single card. Therefore, making 20 cards, or 50 or 200 can just seem like A LOT. But when you choose a simple card design, use products that make the job easy for you, and break the process down into simple steps, you can really make a lot of cards in a snap. I’ll share how below!

Plan Ahead

When you’re going to need a lot of cards for Christmas or another occasion, it’s best to plan ahead. Can you make a few cards each month or several cards in two or three sittings? At the very least, make sure you have the supplies you’ll need on hand, so when the time comes, you don’t run out of cardstock, tape or ribbon!

Ok, let’s get started with my list of tips!

Best Tips For Mass Producing Cards

Here it is…my list of best tips for making a lot of cards quickly!

Clear a lot of space on your craft table or kitchen table
Get rid of the idea that all the cards have to be the same
Keep your design simple
Batch prepare your card materials
Stack layers to do two at once when you’re cutting, punching, and die cutting
For embossing, you can often stack two layers of paper together when you run it through your Cut & Emboss machine. Emboss large pieces of paper, then cut them into strips to use on several cards.
Use punches! Punches save so much time and make for nice looking cards.
Spread it out. When all your materials are prepared, spread out your card bases and first layer pieces upside down. Apply adhesive to all pieces at once and attach them. Continue with your next layer.
Tips for embellishing! Make sure to watch along with the video for tips on using ribbon on a lot of cards, and also for applying embellishments with the Take Your Pick tool.
Tips for adhering! First, find adhesives that you LOVE. They will make the job easier. Is glue faster than tape? Can you use the Take Your Pick tool to apply foam dimensionals and remove the paper backing? Again…watch along with my video for tons of tips!
