Finally had to move on from my beloved Bethlehem Edgelits... after seventy cards, I needed a break! I like my personal cards to reflect my belief in the Savior, so I chose to work with Good Tidings for my next round of cards.
This was a good design to mass produce. I cut all the pieces, then stamped everything, then punched everything, and finally assembled it all. Forty cards done in just about two hours--nifty! Only about 100 left to go now...
The holly berries are what make this card. I used my Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends marker to color some Glitter Enamel Dots bright red. Love how you can still see the glimmer through the color. And once the alcohol-based ink dries, they are permanent! So I never ran out of berries, or leaves either, since I punched those with the Holly Berry Builder Punch. Easy!
Do you make all the same card for Christmas, or do you make a couple of designs? I have several friends who never make two alike! However you proceed with your greetings this holiday, enjoy yourself --and remember it's worth it.
I like how the glitter shows through the red berries. I sweet card.

Your cards are lovely. I do make all of my cards and I usually make 10 of each design. I think I sent out 70 cards, and what a joy to share my Savior's love with my friends and family. Always enjoy your blog young lady!

beauitful card, Lyssa! Like you, I try to reflect some of the awe and wonder of the Christmas season in my cards...I just need to stop including so much diecutting in something I have to mass produce!
