The Best Guide for Mass Producing Christmas Cards To Save Time


Christmas Cards· Gallery

23 Sep

Don’t let making your Christmas cards feel overwhelming! I’m here to show you how to mass produce Christmas cards that are beautiful and quick to make.

Making Christmas Cards is a way to show others how much you care for them but making a ton of cards can be overwhelming! Mass producing Christmas cards is a batch process that will save you time & sanity!

Let’s start with the easiest card first and then we can get to the fancier ones but whichever design idea you choose I think you’ll appreciate the ability to mass produce your Christmas cards.

How do i mass produce my own cards?

To Mass produce Christmas cards we focus on the assembly line system–it’s the best way really!

Step 1. Pre-cut your card bases. I suggest using the Basic White Thick cardstock because if you use a colored cardstock you’ll have to add a white layer inside to write a message which would mean more work and more paper.

Tip 2: Use small pieces of Designer Series Paper as your sentiment layer. This is a great way to use paper scraps and add some whimsy to your Christmas card!

Tip 3: Use the Stamparatus. This tool allows you to mass produce Christmas cards so easily. Make sure you watch the video so you see how I use the hinges on the Stamparatus + how to make a template for stamping the trees on these Christmas cards.

Tip 4: Use Designer Series Paper to make quick, beautiful Christmas Cards! If you choose to add die cuts like I did, make sure you mass cut those too!

Mass Produce Christmas Cards – Coloring Tips:

  • Choose your coloring tools–I chose Stampin’ Blends (alcohol based markers)
  • Stamp all the ornaments in Memento Black ink
  • Color each section of each stamped image one at a time…so color all the red sections, then all the yellow, etc. **The colors I used here were Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade, Old Olive, and Misty Moonlight.

What about those special Christmas Cards that you love to make? You know me….I gotta mass produce some cards that use Copper foil & embossing! These types of cards will require more time but the assembly line process still works!

mass-produce-cards-with-embossing-and-die-cutting-is-possible-but-takes-more-time

Stamp all of the ornaments with Versamark Ink, pour Copper Emboss Powder over them, heat set, them and then die cut them.

I added some Crumb Cake ink with a Blending Brush to my stamped and embossed images for some subtle color.

Other tips to help you mass produce your cards:

  • Stamp straight down, lift straight up
  • If ink pads are too juicy use a spoon to push the ink down on the pad
  • Trouble getting layers straight? Try standing up!
  • Use tools to help you such as the Bone Folder, Ink & Pencil erasers for smudges
  • Give the ink time to dry before touching
  • Clean your stamps often when mass stamping
