Do you need a bunch of cards but little time to make them? Then you will want to read this post. Last night I needed to make 12 thank you cards for the MOPS group (Mothers of PreSchoolers) for today. Here’s how I did it.
- Since they needed to be big so lots of mothers could sign them, I used 12 full 8 1/2″ x 11″ sheets of Whisper White cardstock folded in half. I saved time this way because there was no cutting for the card base.
- Next I cut 12 of a variety of designer series papers to 5 1/4″ x 8 1/4″ for a layer. Stampin’ Up!’s designer series papers are so beautiful that they make the card.
- I did coordinate the colors of ink on the greeting to the designer series papers and stamped Thank You (a retired Watercolor Thank You stamp) 12 times. Then I cut them all out.
- Now was time to put the cards together. I stamped the inside greeting on all the cards first. The Stamparatus made this step a snap. I also stamped my name on the back of the cards at this time.
- I adhered the dsp to the card base with SNAIL adhesive and added a ribbon treatment. For most of the cards I put SNAIL adhesive on the back of the greetings and stuck the ribbon down to the SNAIL. Then added the greeting to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
And the cards were done! By doing an assembly line process for all the steps up to 5, I was able to finish all 12 cards in 2 1/2 hours.
I encourage you to stock up on these beautiful designer series papers before they retire on May 31. As you can see, they make a beautiful card with little effort.

Be sure to check the retiring list frequently and get your orders in while quantities last.
