One of the challenges over the week end at Operation Write Home is sponsored by Eclectic Paperie. All of their designers demonstrated how to mass produce a set of cards on a bloghop. My group fell right into this challenge – the challenge is not to make a set of cards but to make a card for OWH.
Here is the finished card – I made 12 cards like this.
Step one: Make your cardbase and stamp your pine bough on the bottom of your card front.
Step two: Take acrylic paint and a toothpick and just place white paint on the pine boughs. Just put it on there – don’t worry about it – each bough is different – some even have some large clumps of snow on them. I then dry brushed white paint around the edge of the card front and then across the front of the card.
Step three: Cut strips of paper and adhere to the top of the card.
Step four: Add rub ons – I ran out of red rub ons so had to stamp one card with a sentiment. You ask – why not just stamp your sentiment – well I wanted my cards to turn out – and sometimes when I stamp – oops – ruined card.
OK – one piece of advice when you are doing mass production – make sure your cards are all facing in the same direction – or you end up with an OOPS card but this one wasn’t ruined. Actually maybe I like this card better - which one is your favorite
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card. Everyone have a wonderful day.
