Work Smarter, Not Harder: How to Make a Batch of Christmas Cards

[@tammyblaak1598]

You are so much fun to watch. It is great to see you not afraid to go down the rabbit hole 😃

[@cindyellis765]

OMG! You gave me such a good laugh when you brayered the card and it came up with the imprint of the pan bottom🤣😂😅. You know, I absolutely LOVE watching your videos for content, which is always top notch, BUT the bonus comic content is wonderful. I do so many of the same things, but no one is watching me🫤😮‍💨😮‍💨

[@emc4152]

Reminds me so much of the conversations I have with myself while making cards, though it's funnier when the unexpected happens to someone else, especially someone who handles it so well. Thanks for the ideas and the laughs!

[@donnaschraeder8670]

I do like the tree. The colors work so well together. Love the gold star! As well as the black sentiment.

[@Gloria_Davis]

Modern Christmas tree is my fav!

[@LuciaForsdike-pq7tw]

Lovely quick cards, Marion! Thanks for the inspiration.

[@julieorme9646]

Lovely cards . Good to see you x x x

[@dotmitchell8912]

Enjoyed watching you Marion , love the tree cards

[@mintea2779]

Lovely cards Marion, I love that you enjoy making cards and don't worry when a mistake happens. I know I worry that everything should be perfect and lose hope when it's not. I'll take the tip of find a way to make it work from now on😊

[@fionascott4887]

Marion you are such a tonic I agree I love the tree card! Although I do like the let it snow ones as well

[@scuevas1023]

Marion you are amazing! I love your experimenting!!❤😂

[@Jaro-ij7lg]

Oh Marion, you are so much fun to watch making cards! 😂. I loved having a laugh with you. So refreshing watching someone who is both honest and fun. Reading the other comments, I can see I am not alone in my sentiment. We've all been down the win it or bin it road in crafting cards. Have a great Christmas to you and your family 🎄.

[@donnaschraeder8670]

My favorite is the trees.

[@michelegourd5742]

So nice to see you again!! Always enjoy your videos!! Hope you and family have a blessed and Merry Christmas!!

[@jelee5240]

You and me both, haven't done mine yet! Got the stamps today. You are always such a pleasure to watch.

[@bonnerdebbie]

Thanks Marion, you brought a smile to my face watching this wonderful video. I still have a couple of unfinished cards on my desk, thanks for the reminder of the sparkle pen, I am grabbing mine now so I don't forget again. You are not the only one who gets bored making more than a few of the same card. I had plans to do 15 of the same and after 4 I quit, the makings are all in a bag for next year. Happy Holidays Marion!!

[@Sally-qu3kz]

All the cards are fabulous. 👏

[@francesstewart7407]

Beautiful. I do love watching you. You cheer me up. Thank you very much & HAPPY CHRISTMAS to you & your family xx

[@cindikidd8830]

You always inspire me. THANK YOU! I sure need it right now.

[@mandyhall1674]

Marion you're a card, love, love watching and listening to you, always smile ear to ear! The world needs more of you ❤. My favourite was the white on white, followed by the trees and then the snow with just the sentiment. All beautiful. In case we don't see you again before Christmas, I wish you everything you wish for and more beautiful lady. Have a wonderful Christmas and much love, luck and joy in the New Year. Hugs and thanks for a fabulous video and all the laughs this year. xxxx PS I haven't finished my Christmas cards yet either 🤣💖💖

[@Taitcreates639]

Marion, you crack me up every single time, great cards, fun techniques. Merry Christmas 🌲❤️🌲❤️ PS, Marion, I have 3 cards made, from last year, that’s it. I have enough Christmas to fill Santos Sack for the whole wide world, lolol.

[@emmarolfe2249]

Hi Marion, Love the video as usual. I find its always best not to put pressure on yourself, you'll will be more creative for it. The Tim Holtz stencil is simple but creates a lovely Xmas card, i wish i had found something like this month's ago, it would have saved me hours of colouring stamped images by hand. Your favourite card is my favourite too.

[@celineworotniak4349]

Great video. You are so inspiring. I’m looking forward to getting my hands on some of those products. I bet Flo will love the card 🫣

[@pauladyer9845]

Very nice..thanks

[@beajackson]

Absolutely fab Marion, I love watching your videos, so creative you always bring out the giggles 😊 thanks for sharing lovely 😊😊

[@myraanderson9817]

Lovely cards especially the snowflake ones

[@angelaharnett6437]

Love watching your videos Marion . I did a lot of my Christmas cards using your blue ice and the white ice embossing powders . Ended up blowing a lot of the big chunks of glitter off but still loved the powders , thank you for all the videos throughout the year and . Have a lovely Christmas x

[@donnaschraeder8670]

How clever to use the sprays on the die cut words!

[@dizzinese]

an idea for the background in the tin would be to put a square of cardboard in the bottom, then use baby wipes that aren’t real wet but damp, then spray your micas into it and brayer your panel. The moistness of the baby wipe might help keep the ink wet. Just a thought.

[@donnaschraeder8670]

I'm late also! I'm never sure if I should cry or laugh.

[@dizzinese]

if you want an extremely crisp black ink especially for text, you can’t beat vetsafine clair in nocturne. I promise! It’s not for alcohol markers or anything but just for stamping there is no better ink! I put my guarantee on it! and in the UK is Buddy or Buddy Crafts and they are the cheapest and the more you buy the cheaper they are! They just came out with new colors too. But I can’t tell you enough how you’ll love that!

[@beverlycrear7117]

Great tutorial!!! I will make few tomorrow...last minute again😂😢😮

[@dizzinese]

I’d pee myself if I did a card that fast! Since I love circles, i love that stencil!

[@pollyweinmann5082]

Could you do the tree on 5x7 or slimline?

[@beckyhedges9136]

Love them all! I need to learn how to make cards in batches. I'm sure my life would be more simple lol 😂 my problem is I get too distracted and wander off trying new things all the time 🙈😂

[@kimberlybillotte9191]

im so jealous im sweating over these damn cards you come out and pop 4 out in a minute. grrrr come do mine before i throw them all out & thats that lol

[@carriesmola6222]

Do you think that all of those stamps, the snowflakes, could be different thicknesses? Then when you stamp them down, they don’t all hit as close so you don’t get a clear stamp

[@dizzinese]

well hello! Don’t feel bad! I’m usually done with cards months ahead. i just mailed my Christmas cards one week ago! I fortunately had the prototype done 2 years ago! Do you know it took me 9 straight hours and 8 straight hours plus 5 hours another day just to die cutting the pieces for the Christmas cards! Needless to say, it took me a bit over 40 hours to make 31 cards and envelopes! Your package is on the way!!!

[@donnaschraeder8670]

Me!

[@barbsdee3831]

Great ideas and great cards in a hurry thank you. I got very anxious this year as I kept changing my mind and I ran out of time so ended up buying them 😢 and I have so many supplies! Maybe that’s the problem, too many options. I really dislike the phrase ‘Happy Holidays’ it’s Christmas for goodness sake 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

[@dizzinese]

I did notice that missed inking on her stamps and I have to always double stamp it! pain in the butt! I didn’t know why but that makes sense! I only like photopolymer or the rubber stamps too! silicone is the worst and if CP is acrylic- that sucks too!

[@pollyweinmann5082]

I typically work on Christmas cards, ornaments, and small gifts on the 25th of every month. It takes some of the stress off. This year, there are no gifts, decorations, or anything. My husband was laid off 8 weeks ago. If anyone hears of a job in the data wearhouse developer field, please let us know. We are not opposed to relocation.

[@kimberlybillotte9191]

i think when you have too many choices you cant stop your head from going on and on

[@DVSDonna]

Those are absolutely beautiful! Remember how I started making my cards in the middle of summer? And you know, it's only 10 days from Christmas... Ask me how many cards I've mailed! LOL. Zero! 😜🤷🤣🤣🤣 Also, I really need to remember to click on your link before I order stuff. I don't know why I have some sort of mental block for that. It's the easiest thing I could do to help you out and yet I fail you. 🥴🫣🤫 #worstfriendevah
