My Tips and Tricks to Bulk Making Christmas Cards

[@yvonnemoore3698]

I loved your bulk cards too Sasha. I don't have an awful lot to make but I do tend to batch make. Most of them are matt and layered and I use dies for my focal points. Seems like a lot of work. Yours are brilliant and I would like to see more. Thanks 😊

[@rebeccajourney3183]

Loved this how to, working smarter, not harder!

[@pinkmosquito22]

I really like this simple design idea, Sasha!

[@roxanneklinger3828]

I love watching you and Natasha Foote. You two are so much alike in your card styles and you both have such great ideas for doing cards with what you have and the easiest way to make them. I wish I had seen your batch card making tutorial before I finished my Christmas cards. It would have saved me some time. With the messed up postal problems in the States right now, I will need to mail cards out by mid November or so, for them to get there by mid December. Thanks for all your great tips, knowledge and allowing me to spend some artsy time with you each week. Love your channel.

Love you, Sasha! Thanks for sharing this. My plan is to make a bundle of cards to send as Christmas/Yule presents -- who wouldn't want to receive a bundle of Thank you, Congrats, Happy Birthday cards that they can send out? Maybe next year I can be organized enough to sort out making Christmas card bundles -- but that would require getting them out in October -- so maybe not happening. My original plan was card bundles for Birthday presents -- we'll see how this all goes!

Thank you Sasha for this card tutorial. I am always wanting to make cards that stand out, but this one layer card is an Awesome idea. 🤗 Thank you my Friend, for always giving us such great ideas! Blessings 🤗🤗

[@noreenmulder5255]

Hi Sasha. I trust that you are well. Thanks for another fantasticly informative video. I love the patterned paper and the focal stamp that you used. You created the perfect bulk cards - beautiful, cute, one layer and neat cards without any fuss. TFS. As always an outstanding job! 💜🤗

Thankyou about the nails I love to do mine I have so many 😀

[@reneebanbury7066]

Great tips & tricks! Thank you!

[@HeidiLilley]

What a wonderful way to do this. I didn't send very many the past few years because I was trying to do them all different. I'm going to be trying this. Thanks. I am interested in learning more about the gel polish and more so about how you apply and also remove it. Thanks.

[@anaraposo522]

The cards are so pretty. Yes I would love you to talk about your nail polish since my nail are so week and break so easily.

I tend to batch make my Christmas cards rather than bulk make, but really great to see your process and I probably should make a simpler batch for my overseas cards - that’s a really good point. Thank you.

[@debsnowden4310]

Great video, Sasha thanks for the tips….especially how to keep them less bulky for mailing without given up on the pretty aspect. I’d appreciate hearing what other gel polish you really like, as I use gel and have never settled on one particular brand I’m happy with.

Hello Sasha!! Thank you so much for your videos. I find the entertaining and informative. Thank you for taking the time to share. I would love to know more of where you purchase your gel nails from.

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Sasha, as always an informative video. I only make our Christmas cards in bulk but I too find that the assembly line process is very helpful and productive. Thanks so much. 😊

[@SashaReade]

Thank you Brendaelaine, and thank you so much for standing up for me. Means a lot. I struggle when people leave me unkind messages. That one was just not at all necessary, it wasnt like i tricked her into watching a video about bulk making. I get these kinds of comments every so often that feel like they're there just to cut away me. Thankfully not many, but each one hurts. There's constructive comments and then there's just people who like to hurt.

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

@@SashaReade Sasha, I hope you can feel the appreciation and admiration from me and the others who truly appreciate your hard work and expertise. ♥️♥️ I am just so sick and tired of the negativity from these low lifes! It is hurtful and ignorant on their part and one of my biggest pet peeves! She as the viewer could have and should have just clicked off the video. I just can't sit back and let people like that get away with their negativity. This is supposed to be a fun and relaxing outlet for all. Please don't be disheartened. I ,like most of us out there, look forward to seeing what's next from you. B.

[@ljbj4]

awesome! tfs!

[@debbarnett4250]

Love these bulk cards, Sasha! Thanks for sharing. Like the Rosalind gel polish too, but I’ve now moved onto the powder polishes which seem to work well for me!

[@lindafrier26]

Great tips! For some reason I really don’t like making multiples , I think 4 of the same is my limit! I guess I have a lot of time and see so many I like to try🤷‍♀️. I don’t have too many to send either.

[@SashaReade]

ha ha i think it's the lazy in me! I just need to get them done and i get overwhelmed quick when i know i have a TON to send out. Making cards all year round, and just doing a random collection of types is fine, but when i got to get the job done and need a bunch(often make all my mother in laws- 150!!!!) i just need a quick and easy design that i can zone out a bit making- this is when netflix helps :)

[@lindafrier26]

@@SashaReade I understand,if I had that many to do, I would definitely batch make 😉🙂.

I’m with you , Linda! I love doing different cards but… I sent the same person a similar card the next year and she said “You need to keep track of what card you send to each person.” Ooops, I guess!

The darker papers could be used to make ornaments to stick on to the card front - just cut the shape and turn into a bauble. Thanks for the tips.

You can get Woodware stamps from Ecstacy Crafts in Shannonville, Ontario, in Canada.

[@olivemaycards]

I have a hard time settling on one design for bulk cardmaking, but I have found I get myself in trouble if I make too many different designs. First, I spend too much time trying to decide who gets which design! and sometimes I have 3 designs that are perfect for one friend and none that feel right for another. And then the following year if I'm not using a new product I sometimes repeat the same or similar designs and then I worry that I'm sending the same card to the same person again! Overthinking makes life difficult. So I should learn and just do all the cards the same and maybe they're not "special" but I don't drive myself so crazy.

[@barbaramorck2933]

They're still special -- recipients aren't going to be comparing. Take it easy on yourself. Enjoy!

[@mariguel2011]

Hola! Thanks Mrs. Reade!

[@SashaReade]

Why thank you for watching ;)

[@suspiciousstew6185]

Cute! Do you handmake cards for your kids to give out at school? I can't imagine anyone taking so much time and care to make something to sit in a child's schoolbag, but I can bet if anyone would it would be you!! Also, at least by bulk making them, you're not individually crafting for every Oscar, Harry and Jack!

[@karenreeves3958]

Thanks for all of the tips, but I don’t have to make that many cards. I really like to do different ones. Yours were very pretty though. Thanks for the tips & I love your nails. I would love to have the problem of my nails growing too fast, mine don’t grow fast enough.

[@Santa_Glitch]

Hi Sasha, thanks for the great bulk cards tip. I just started practicing making Christmas cards for the first time today so this will definitely help me. I'm interested in where you get your nail stuff from. I checked out the one in your video but it's nice to have other options too.

[@kathymcdaniels]

What about the inside sentiment?

These look great, but i never make cards in bulk, i want them all to be different 😊.

Does this gel nail polish require UV light setting?

[@karminakarminae1939]

Yes , it does , min.21:47 shows the Item specifications where clearly states that a UV lamp is need it to cure the gel

[@hilarygreek7830]

On one of your other videos you asked about color theory and how to avoid muddy colors and poo brown. Cathy Z has a couple of excellent videos on that. kzbin.info/aero/PLX7QSPZLC539JF7rZ4TiKeV-i_HqM4RQo

[@melb.4609]

Thank you for the tips on bulk card making, but I don't paint my nails so I didn't watch the end of the video. Then I felt guilty for not watching the whole video because it had a bad effect on your video's rating on youtube. I would like to see you grow your subscriber numbers and thrive on youtube, so please think carefully about giving people a reason to not finish watching a video, let alone tell them not to watch it to the end.
