Stampin' Up: "Wrapped in Plaid" Stamp-A-Stack Christmas Cards

Do you sometimes get intimidated when it's time to make several Christmas cards to mail? I know I do, so for today's post, I am sharing a sketch and a card that is simple to make a stack of duplicate cards without using tons of supplies.

For those who haven't "stamped a stack" before, the concept is simple: choose a sketch (or another card) to copy, pre-cut all paper layers at once, stamp all sentiments at once and then assemble all at once.

Ready to start? You can take a variation of the card below, using the sketch, to make your own holiday stack.

Products used for this card: 

• Whisper White (for card base and layers) and Shaded Spruce cardstock (to layer the sentiment)
• "Perfectly Plaid" stamp set
• "Wrapped in Plaid" Specialty Designer Series Paper
• Shaded Spruce striped ribbon
• Jingle Bells (plus gold twine of choice)
• Gems (try the Toile Tidings Glitter Enamel Dots, #150433, page 7 of Holiday Catalog)  
• A border die or punch (I used one from the Delicate Lace Edgelits Dies, #147053).  
• Stampin' Dimensionals (for the white layer or sentiment layer)

The stamp set, paper, ribbon, and bells are part of the "Wrapped in Plaid" Suite Bundle (page 13 of the Holiday Catalog). You can see the catalog and place an order by visiting my page, choose "Shop Now" from the top menu, then and enter item names or stock numbers in the search window to add them to your cart!

To follow the sketch, use these dimensions for cutting the layers and ribbon:  

1. White card base - 5-1/2"x 8-1/2" (folded in half)
2. Plaid panel - 2-1/2"x 3-3/4"
3. White panel - 3" x 4-1/4" (before punching/die-cutting the border)
4. Sentiment panel - 1-1/4"x 3-3/8"
5. Sentiment back panel - 1-3/8"x 3-1/2" in Shaded Spruce
6. Ribbon - cut a piece 5' to 5-1/2" that can be wrapped around the panel and glued/taped.

Here is another version of the card, with different plaid paper from the Designer Series Paper pack:
