Want to make 5 unique cards without spending days in the craft room? {I know we all love to spend days in the craft room, but let's be real, sometimes we need more output with little time!} Let’s talk about the magic of batch processing! 🛠️✨

In my latest project, I put together a set of 5 encouraging cards by batching each step of the process. I did all my gold heat embossing (using ) at once for the sentiments, prepped my gorgeous floral focal points (using washi tape) in one go, and played with a mix of stencils from , , and using Stencil Butters! 🎨

Keeping the techniques the same while varying the designs let me create a cohesive set super quickly. (And yes, I even share how I covered up a little stenciling 'boo-boo' on one of them—swipe to see how it became a 'feature', not a bug! 😂)

Check out the full breakdown and tips on the blog today! Link in bio. 🌸

Who says cards have to be rectangles? 🌸✨ Today I’m sharing a fun, circular shaped card that’s all about mixing my favorites!

I combined some beautiful Altenew layering florals with a modern Simon Says Stamp sentiment and a classic Spellbinders scalloped circle. My favorite tip for this one? Ink blending over your colored cardstock die-cuts! It’s the easiest way to ditch the "flat" look and add some gorgeous dimension and interest. 🎨💖
