Great tips. I do have a funny / not funny story about batch producing. During lockdown I made some cards for friends and family. The fronts had a diecut of two girls dancing and a sentiment that said "keep on dancin'". The inside said "six feet apart". I made 17 cards. And 15 of them had the inside sentiment on the wrong side of the card! So when you opened the card, the sentiment was upside down on the top flap. As a result, my personal message was "and, apparently, upside down and backwards". Lesson learned. My friends and family thought it was hilarious. Happy crafting!
hahaha once I wrote out a group of cards and I obviously missed the inside of one.... my neice told me the inside of hers was blank... I wonder if I've ever done that before or again lol.
It is so much fun watching you make different cards with the same elements. You really shake my creative wee plan and turn it into something exciting. These cards are beautiful, cards I'm certain all of your followers would love to send to their families and friends. 🤗🇨🇦🥰
Hi Therese… I haven’t watched any crafty videos for quite a while but thought I’d have a quick look and there you were… I always loved your Christmas series and these are beautiful. After being very ill with COVID I’m trying to get back to my crafty self, thank you as always for the inspiration.. xx
So sorry to hear that you have been unwell Sally, I've heard that it can take such a long time to recover from so I'm sending big healing hugs your way! So happy you were able to stop by my friend x
This is the first time watching one of your videos and I must say that I really liked the idea of cutting and laying the Christmas bulbs on the cardstock the way you did and adding the lettering sentiment overtop the shaped edge.
YaY and a big Welcome to my channel Roxanne! I am so happy to have you here and hope that you may find some more inspiration when you stop back for another visit!
Hi Therese, beautiful cards. I love how you use the same things for different outcomes. The bauble die is lovely made more by your inks. I love anything Christmas, and it seems to be every die n stamp i buy is related. Your cards are beauties. Thank you for more tips n inspiration. Luv from the UK. x
I love making Christmas and Holiday cards too and I can't believe it's already getting closer to the middle of the year... it will begin again soon lol.
I loved the same but different series. Today's was really helpful as I am starting the cards today for my five siblings and want them somewhat similar but different and I also get bored doing the same thing over and over
Lovely cards, Therese! I do make multiples, but only a few and then I get tired of that and go onto something else. I do like your baubles and your coloration!
Therese, I love your cards so much I ordered the stamp and dies this morning. I have so many Christmas stamps I should start in January next year. I can never make my mind up what to use. I love snowmen and cute cards but these cards are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us. How are you darling? I bet you are running here there and everywhere at the moment. It all happens so quick over here I still cannot get use to it after all these years. Thanksgiving in a few weeks then Christmas. I put my tree up day after Thanksgiving. Jan 1st take it down. Well my darling. Take care. Things are going well down under I see so far. Flights coming in. Enjoy your week ahead. Big hug 🤗 till next time. ❤️⛄️🛷🎄❄️🎅🍪☕️
It doesn't get as busy here this time of year, as we don't have Halloween or Thanksgiving so it's only Christmas we have to prep for and it's only myself and my hubby this year (so far) which will be such fun. We are catching up with friends on Boxing Day and heading South to visit our families for 'Christmas' in March. Hopefully the borders will all be open by then and we don't have to isolate before we go back to work. So happy you liked the cards Patti, I know you will adore these stamps, they are truly fun to play with! Hugs Tx
Stunning cards Therese. Absolutely live them. Fantastic ideas too. You never fail to deliver. Thank you so much for the Christmas inspiration.. Take care. T x
hahaha well then this is the video for you Maaike lol. I wrote my cards last week, I feel so organised. I wanted to reach out to find out your new address? Can you email it to me please? Hugs Tx
I don't like to make my cards the same either, but if I love a design I may make it 3 or 4 times so I'll have more than one! These are beautiful and with great tips for creating several from the same supplies. You're right, it's a great time saver! thanks for doing this every year! We do appreciate it!
Beautiful cards. I love the clean and simple look. I think i would get bored making the same card over and over again, as well. These are great ideas for using the same elements just mixing them up.
Gorgeous cards, and absolutely great tips. Like you I get bored easily. But I do need quite a lot of cards and these tips are hopefully, probably, very helpful. Especially this year because I am a bit behind with my Christmas cards...
These are beautiful cards, and I love the way you mixed it up. In the past, I usually came up with one design I loved and made multiples but you're correct...it does get boring! TFS
At least you are still creating and sending a much appreciated homemade card. For me it's sometimes the 'thinking' of design is what strains my brain the most lol.
Therese, I don't think I've ever made the same card twice - unless I was asked to! and then I was not happy about it! lol I love your time-saving tips, tricks, and these gorgeous baubles/sentiments! =]
Therese, what a great video. I'm like you. I rarely make exactly the same card more than once. That being said, for Christmas cards I design what I want to use. Then I vary the design by using different coloured card bases, trims etc. I also try to finish all the stamping, then all the die cutting and then assemble them. That way I know where I am in the process. Thanks so much. 😊
Oh Therese, these are just lovely cards. I am the person who starts making Christmas cards in January. Love the template for these cards today. Gorgeous colours and those large sentiments are wonderful. Tried the snapping fingers hack but it did seem to work, what am I ding wrong🤣🤣🤣? Cheers Lisa
I know right! I've got magic snapping fingers lol. ps I am jealous of you, i'm not that organised to start early. But you did encourage me, I have sent out my cards overseas and have the others ready to go. So thank you Lisa!
Great ideas! I sort of started something like this several years ago, and just for my immediate family. There’s a “theme” of sorts, then I switch up elements for each one. I have been ‘flying by the seat of my pants’, so having you so clearly describe your process is immensely helpful. Thank you.
Nothing wrong with 'flying by the seat of your pants', it's obviously worked for you so far lol. I'll bet your family adore their cards! I was also thinking that this is also a great technique for someone who doesn't have many stamp sets/supplies, it helps stretch them without the pressure (mmmm.... I don't have that problem).
Love your cards Therese. The darker shades definitely added definition to the ornaments and the cards are so original. This year, for the first time, my friend and I tasked each other with creating at least five Christmas cards each month. We began in January and by August we had done the bulk of our cards. We are now working on those “special” ones😊😊😊
Really like how these turned out. And I appreciate all the tips you shared. I’m behind this year & haven’t stated my Christmas cards yet, so these tips are very helpful. Thank you. And again, really pretty cards. I love the colors & how you brightened them up a bit.
Loving this! Gorgeous cards !! Oh and it made me laugh out loud when you suggested starting in January if you like to colour in pencil 😂… so true tho!!
Thanks so much Kelly! My stamp was a present from Altenew, they send them out randomly to their loyal customers. You can have these made by stamp companies as well, but I have never tried this as yet....
what a fabulous set of cards - thank you - for sharing your tips -Do you love your blending brushes ? I have various types but not acquired these ones yet -shock horror - I do a mass of blending too and I generally dont make more than 10 of each design - random thoughts sets in - lol
I was the world's worst blender (seriously) until I got the Altenew large Ink blending tool, it's been a game changer for me. I'm still trying out the middle sized ones and I don't seem to get as 'smooth'results, but the Altenew detailed blending brushes are awesome too! I've haven't picked up my other brand brushes in a while now..... hope this helps.
@@lostinpaper yes it does massively - I live in UK so sadly will try and source here first - I see loads of people using them -thank you so much for taking the time to reply
I'm a "one and done" kind of girl but for Christmas I need too many to do that. My multiples are like yours....same but different because I just can't make more than 2 or 3 exactly the same. I do have a friend that makes 30 birthday cards for the year and they are all exactly the same. The online card maker group I belong to has a challenge to make 5 Christmas cards per month. It really helps when it comes to crunch time.
That must really take the pressure off, and you get to play with your Christmas stamps all year round! As for the same birthday card for everyone... you already know that I couldn't do that, but it's great that everyone gets a handmade card, it still makes it special!
Hi Paula, these were a 'gift' set from Altenew. Every year(ish) they send out complimentary stamps to their customers and often they have a small one included with your name on it... seriously fab! But there are companies that make them, though I've never had it done myself. sorry I'm not very helpful here. thanks so much for your lovely visit here today, Hugs Tx Here is a company that I was looking into to purchase my own www.jemacstamps.com.au/epages/shsh6239.sf/en_AU/?ObjectPath=/Shops/shsh6239/Categories/%22Personalised%20Stamps%22
@@lostinpaper thank you so much Teresa . Last year just before lockdown I decided to make my own cards lucky for me as we couldn’t go to the shops so have been kept very busy.
I get bored making the same card over & over too, Therese. I really like how you changed it up. Awesome.
thanks so much Lynne!
Love the pink one with fa la la la
Thanks so much Jenn!
Loved your hack ideas, particularly the one where you clicked your fingers. Beautiful cards!
Oh yes, that was the BONUS tip lol.
What a lovely ornament and the way it’s used on your cards! I’m swooning over the pink and mint colors! TFS, Therese!!! 💌
Thank you so much Kathy, even though I had trouble making up my mind with the colours lol!
beautiful! TFS I love "same but different" series.

Beautiful and great hacks! If you hold your cardstock against a piece of cardstock while heating the embossing powder, the cardstock doesn’t warp!
ooh, I must try that one, you are one very clever lady my friend x
Very good tips!
Glad you think so! thank you Lisa!
Awesome!!
