Sometimes you just gotta go stupid simple…
If you’ve got a loooong list of projects for the holidays, or you need to make massive quantities of cards, sometimes you just have to go stupid simple with some of your projects. Today’s 12 cards in 12 minutes fit that bill. I put today’s cards in the category of perfect for: coworkers, teachers, neighbors, party guests and gift accompaniment. You know, when you have over 10 people in a single group that you are giving cards and/or gifts to and you don’t have hours to spend on each person’s card. They will enjoy that each person received a different design, and that the card is handmade. Or, when the card isn’t the star of the gift – we don’t want to outshine that tin of handmade fudge with a card that took longer to make! LOL!

My Project
After selecting coordinating colors, these notecards took 10 minutes to make. So, literally, 12 cards in 12 minutes!

The Technique & Design
There’s not much to these! The key here is the notecard size. In the video, I reference A1 size. They’re also known as 4 BAR. The folded card dimension is 3 1/2″ x 5″. Some sites will make reference to something just short of 5″ (like 4 7/8″) – but they’re all the same.
The background cardstock is just 1/4″ short to leave a nice 1/8″ border all the way around. And, though the sentiment cards are not sized to leave an even border all the way around, having the larger reveal on the top and bottom adds a bit of interest!
Of course, you can leave these cards as-is, or you can add more to them. You could add some glitter pen accents, enamel dots, sequins, clear gloss effects…. there’s lots of ways to step these up if you just feel the need…

Cute little set of cards and I like how quick they were to make.
Cute notecards! Tyfs!
Fun cards and so fast…woohoo!
I LOVE the notecard size sets. The package of them is perfect for a quick project like this. So fast and easy but you can always jazz them up. Thanks for the reminder about using the tear and tape on the glitter paper too. Such cute designs. That reminds me, I need to look to see if they have a Feliz Navidad stamp – I was making cards over the last few years for children in the hospitals and I was asked if I had any for the Hispanic kiddos.
Photoplay just came out with a whole set of christmas dog stamps, paper, dies, etc…. there’s one stamp that says feliz naviDOG! LOLOLOL!! Here’s a link: http://shrsl.com/1q87n
