					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello&#8230;. I am back with more Christmas in July project. Even though July is almost done, it does not mean I won&#8217;t be sharing Christmas projects in August, or September, or October, etc&#8230; <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f600.png" alt="😀" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> stay tune for more.</p>
<p>So, today&#8217;s project is a clean and simple Christmas card with <a href="http://helengullett.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8862">Spray of Joy stamp set</a> from Close To My Heart. And for the card backgrounds, I used retired paper packet, Snowhaven.</p>

<p>I stamped it with my MISTI 5 times on the 2.75&#8243; x 4&#8243; Black cardstock with <a href="http://helengullett.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=972">VersaMark<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Ink Pad</a>. Then I added some <a href="http://helengullett.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8054">Ranger<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Princess Gold Embossing Powder</a> and heat them up with my <a href="http://helengullett.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=510">Craft Heater</a>. After they all were embossed, I cut the tail using my <a href="http://helengullett.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=7190">Non-Stick Micro-Tip scissors</a>.</p>

<p>I tied up some of the Natural Twine from May Arts Ribbon and added some red gems from Studio G &#8211; Hampton Art. Then I added them on the card bases using 3D foam tape.</p>
<p>They are done. I made 5 cards in 30 minutes! Things I learned today about mass-producing cards in less than an hour are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pick one design or sketch</li>
<li>Pick one stamp set</li>
<li>Pick one color combo or pick one patterned paper</li>
<li>Pick 1 or 2 embellishments that will give extra wow to your cards.</li>
<li>and&#8230; MISTI tool is awesome for mass-producing!</li>
</ul>
<p>Do you like create card sets or individual card? Do have any tips for mass-producing cards? Please feel free to share with us in the comment <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>I hope you are inspired today to create handmade projects for Christmas this year! Thank You so much for visiting and have fabulous blessed day!</p>
