Mass Producing Cards for Gift Sets


I created a few sets of hand-made cards and gave them as gifts during the holidays.  I thought I'd share a few cards from one of the sets with a brief description should you want to create something similar.

 When creating a large number of similar cards, I find it easiest to create and assemble all the components first.  I began by die cutting, gluing and layering all the flowers, bows, and sentiments.

The sentiment above was hot foiled, but the one below was created layering die cuts.  I do mix up the colors and sentiments to keep it interesting but I leave the basic components the same.  This makes prep and assembly easier for me.

Once I finished the "embellishment" pieces, I stamped the backgrounds, cut and layered the frames and secured them to the front of my folded note cards.  I love layering everything with multiple layers.  However, if you prefer a flatter card, you can skip the layering.

To finish the cards, I added flowers and sentiments.  As you can see, each card is different,  but the layout and assembly is similar.

Add envelopes, wrap them with some tissue and tie them with a beautiful ribbon.  

Here's a full picture of some of the cards.  Do you have a favorite?

Hope this inspires you to create some cards and gift them to someone who might love them.
