Mass produce cards for Christmas using beautiful dies following the step-by-step instructions found in this article.
I don’t know about you, but I get bored doing more than one card. So making Christmas cards can be a challenge. I have found that using dies seems to help if I cut until I get tired of it. And then pick up where I left off another time. Especially if you have awesome dies like the ones we’re using to make these cards.
The trick to mass producing them quickly is to do all the die cutting first. That makes assembly and adding embellishments a breeze.
Another thing that helps with mass production is to keep your designs clean and simple.
Mass Produce Sleigh Card
This elegant card features an old-fashioned sled adorned with greenery and a bow with a traditional Christmas sentiment. We select a nice Christmas red for the bow, two shades of green for the evergreen boughs and the holly, and kraft works beautifully for the sled.
Once they are all cut out, we attach all the pieces using liquid glue. And we finish it by placing the card in a stamp positioning tool and stamping the sentiment with black ink. And then, we’ll add a little sparkle with red glitter glue for the holly berries.

Merry Christmas Card
Merry Christmas in a beautiful script framed in white and a pretty green and gold holly mirror cardstock make this card special.
Die-cutting is quick for this card with just three cuts per card: the sentiment in white, a 2 1/4″ x 4″ color accent with a stitched border, and a 2 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ white frame. Once the cutting is done, we just attach each of the layers centered on top of each other with a glue runner. And then fasten on the sentiment with liquid glue.

Joy Card – Mass Produce
This is another fun and easy card. All there is to do is die-cut the focal image from green cardstock and the accent panel from gold-tinted pearl cardstock.
When we have the cutting complete, we just center the accent panel and the card base with a glue runner. And then fasten on the sentiment with liquid glue.
And finally, we’ll add some bling with red glitter glue.

Noel
Our final card for this article has an elegant, modern motif.
We don’t use all of the elements of the die set for this card, just the floral background, and we cut that from white cardstock. And then we use mirrored cardstock for the letters of the sentiment.
Once our die-cutting is complete, we’ll trim a piece of pearlized cardstock to A2 size (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″) and attach it to the card base using a glue runner. Then we center the floral background and fasten it and the letters with liquid glue. And that finishes our fourth card.
