So, it's a case of trying to force the issue by sitting down and making stuff with all that card-making roll.
What do you reckon to this? I quite like the idea, but it was more fiddly than I like when it comes to making a lot of cards.
Info:
350gsm Dark blue square card blank (PDA Woodward)
Lighter blue Bazzill
Glitter card "Diamond" (Best Creations)
Smooth White card (PDA Woodward)
Red Gems (Anita's)
Dies:
Stars panel (Memory Box)
Merry Christmas text (Ultimate Crafts
The MB die cuts the whole panel - the snowflakes and the rectangular frame. I adhered it over a rectangle of glitter cardstock and then laid scraps of the same glitter card onto the die to cut some extra snowflakes for embellishing
I used "Stick It" on the text die as I thought it would make attaching it to the card easier, but actually it was a right faff. I think I'll be going back to my spreading a thin layer of glue on plastic then dipping the word in method, it's probably quicker for this one
Might have a go with some different colours and see if I get quicker at making this design.
That's it for this time, thanks for popping by

Hi Kathy this is a gorgeous Christmas card. Hugs Jackie
It's a fabulous card. Great colour Kathy x
Lovely wording die cut but yes, I can see the card as a whole would be a bit fiddly for mass production! You could probably add blobs of red Stickles instead of the gems and get a similar effect but that would only be a marginal speed-up.
A lovely card, Kathy. I also can see it would be a bit fiddly but worth the effort I think.
