Hello Everyone, I want to share my last project I made. I got an order for 8 of these "Emergency Card Kits". I did not come up with this idea, it came from a Stampin Up demonstrator, I just made some changes and added my touch. The idea behind this kit is to stock it with cards to keep at work, in your car or even at home when you need a card in a hurry or forgot to buy one. In my kit, I have 3 birthday cards and 3 thinking of you cards, notebook to write dates and addresses, pen and a pocket for stamps. Add to the gift, by giving a Hallmark gift card and stamps. Here are the 6 cards. I just love the bird card, the stamp set is by Tim Holtz. I want to make a set of cards just using this stamp set. The stamp set if called Crazy Birds.   I also love the paint card, I used the "Work of Art" stamp set by Stampin Up, the same set I used to make my Snowman card. This is another stamp set you can do so much with.  I added Wink of Stella Clear glitter pen on

There was some major mass producing going on. I even recruited my sister to help me while I was visiting her over Thanksgiving. She was a big help with the "Happy Holidays" card. When I'm thinking about the layout of a card, I know I want it to be quick to mass produce, but still look nice. So when I made just one of these cards, I thought these were simple and would be quick to mass produce, especially the " Happy Holidays" one. Wrong!!...HAHA The only one that was quick, was the snowman card. This card was made using this Stampin Up stamp set. I got the idea from Stampin Up, but added my twist. The others had too many steps. So my advice crafters, is when you want to mass produce cards, think twice what you may think that would be quick to make. Once I got my
