My favorite cardmaking tip is to go slow and don’t rush. That is when the most errors can be prevented. I learned the hard way.
By Jennifer Scull October 6, 2018 - 6:23 am
What great projects!
I love to make hand crafted projects for friends and family for holiday gifts. It’s fun to re-purpose items from around the house and turn them into something new and pretty! 🙂

Love the video. The E-Z runner looked great. Thanks for the chance to win
By Laura Gauthier Turcotte October 6, 2018 - 6:36 am
My tip is actually a pretty simple one. Keep it simple. Someone once told me when making a handmade card, less is more. I believe that. It is fun to add all types of embellishments, but it will distract from the design of the card.
By Julissa Padilla October 6, 2018 - 6:39 am
I love white embossing powder for winter cards. Whether it’s the sentiment or the image, there’s something about white on a bold color.
By Joan Smith October 6, 2018 - 6:43 am
My Tip is just to relax and enjoy making your card….find things to use that you enjoy … go as detailed as you wish and just have fun remember the person receiving will be so thrilled to get a handmade card!! Just have fun!!
I want to say Thank You so much for a chance at your Most Generous Giveaway. YOU SO ROCK!!
By Isabel Z October 6, 2018 - 6:44 am
My tip is to mass produce them–since all your products are out, it’s a lot quicker to create. I like to choose 8-10 designs and mass produce 10 cards of each.
By Penny Mann October 6, 2018 - 6:46 am
Don’t skimp when adhering the cardstock, use the adhesive all the way around.

By Amanda Lamarche October 6, 2018 - 6:52 am
My holiday card making tip is to keep it simple and let the paper do the work. Save fancier cards for those who truly appreciate a hand crafted card.
By Janet Mack October 6, 2018 - 6:55 am
I am no expert but make it simple and a single design.
By Sharon Brand October 6, 2018 - 7:02 am

Thanks for the chance to win – love your products!
By Lisa K October 6, 2018 - 7:07 am
My tip is to take each step at a time, assembly style. I like to make many similar cards and once I decide on a design, I do all of the cutting at a time, stamping, coloring, etc., then assemble.
By Pamala Todd Smith October 6, 2018 - 7:13 am
Craft fair time. You can never have enough adhesive.

By Julie October 6, 2018 - 7:48 am

By Amy Tsuruta October 6, 2018 - 7:49 am
Awesome inspiration. I’m a big fan of Scrapbook Adhesives!
holiday card making tip: I’m starting my mailings now…it’ll be fall/halloween/thanksgiving and holidays. That way it spreads the happy mail over a couple different themes and I don’t have to rush to do it in Nov/Dec.
By Sue D October 6, 2018 - 7:51 am
My tip is to have a clean work space and organize your supplies.
By Melody Clark October 6, 2018 - 7:57 am
My tip is to make the card simple enough so you can make enough of them for your whole Christmas list. Too much detail and you might get bogged down so only a few people receive them.
By Darlene Pavlick October 6, 2018 - 8:01 am
What great products! I craft every day … it’s my mental therapy!
By Janie Nuci October 6, 2018 - 8:02 am
I love how easy it was to refill!i am going to love to use this when I make my cards or scrapbook!
By Linda M. October 6, 2018 - 8:03 am
Love your products! My tip is this— if you’re making a lot of the same card, use an assembly line approach rather than fully completing one card at a time.
By Amy C. October 6, 2018 - 8:03 am
My tip for holiday cardmaking is to start early! Don’t overthink your design. Keep it simple because it’s the thought that counts. I get less holiday cards every year. People just aren’t sending cards anymore. I think a homemade card can really make someone’s day!
By Cindy C. October 6, 2018 - 8:32 am
My favorite holiday cardmaking tip is to start early, and when one need large quantity of card stick with a CAS design. And use a stamping tool like MISTI, and use dry adhesive instead of wet glue!
By Kelly R October 6, 2018 - 8:39 am
My favorite holiday car making tips are to start early and have a list of who you want to send cards to. Although I made a set of multiple of the same card, sometimes I switch it up and make a few designs so that I can tailor them to the receiver.
By Debbie Rumpza October 6, 2018 - 8:56 am
I would say my best holiday cardmaking tip is to use a Misti or Platform if you have a ton you need to make and you want to assembly line it! Also keep it simple if you make a ton. I, however, make my life complicated and make one of a kind cards, lol.
By Debra Patton October 6, 2018 - 9:00 am
My holiday card making tip is to cut all the pieces out for all cards first. It makes everything go much faster.

By Kirsty Elbert-Armstrong October 6, 2018 - 9:35 am

My tip is to save those scraps! Perfect for small shapes or to make embellishments!
By Amanda Wilcox October 6, 2018 - 10:05 am
My tip is to lay everything out before you start gluing. I didn’t use to do that and it’s very helpful!
By Marsha D October 6, 2018 - 10:07 am
My tip so I don’t stress out about Christmas cards is to make them easy yet elegant, easy for mass production.
By Cheryl Samdal October 6, 2018 - 10:18 am

By Beverly Gerard October 6, 2018 - 10:28 am
‘Tis the season to rev up one’s creative spirit! Tip for holiday cards? Let your stamp positioner simplify repetitive stamping. Such a joy! Thanks bunches for the chance to win awesome Scrapbook-Adhesives products!
By Janet Sisk October 6, 2018 - 10:30 am
This is a simple thing you can do to make more of a wow factor with your holiday cards. No matter how simple your design always add a little blind to your cards. There are many ways to do this including glitter, glitter tape, glitter paper, glittery ribbon, sparkle gems, and embossing powder. A little goes a long way in adding some blind to your design.
By Mary Holshouser October 6, 2018 - 10:34 am
My card making tip: Try to stay organized. It’s so
frustrating to misplace a stamp (it got stuck to the
bottom of tape dispenser and can’t be found)
Eventually you’ll get frustrated and start
something else and find the lost stamp when
you go to tape something else. (Voice of
experience). thanks.

By Dana M October 6, 2018 - 11:25 am
Oh what beautiful and fun inspiration projects. I like to make 4 of each holiday design, it saves on design time and it works well to get 4 layers of paper from an 8.5 x 11″ piece of paper.
By Deana Hayes October 6, 2018 - 11:35 am

By heaney October 6, 2018 - 11:48 am
My tip is to prepare months in advance before the holiday begin so that you will have more time to shop the neccessary.
By Karen October 6, 2018 - 11:49 am
My favorite tip is to first choose what the main establishment will be for your card and then build your card from there, choose papers, other establishments, sentiments as you go.
By Maria Villasenor October 6, 2018 - 11:50 am
Start early,
By Robin Mims October 6, 2018 - 11:55 am
Tip to new card makers – when you are starting out, CASE principal works great – Copy And Slightly Edit… this works wonders, until you feel free enough to let loose
By BarbMac Vt October 6, 2018 - 12:09 pm

By Kristine Reeves October 6, 2018 - 1:02 pm
My favorite tip is to make multiples of the same design! That way you have some to send and to GIVE as a gift too!
By Dee Earnshaw October 6, 2018 - 1:36 pm
my tip would be to leave a finished card a day or two and come back to it – you will find that there is something that can be added to create the wow factor:)
By Sharon Gullikson October 6, 2018 - 1:57 pm
Don’t stress…It is only paper

By Victoria Banaszak October 6, 2018 - 2:06 pm
The Ez Runner Grand Tape Dispencer looks wonderfully easy to use!. I’d say fool proof even.
Always start early on holiday projects so you wont be stressed when the time comes. I always make a few extra too because you never know when you may meet a new friend that you want to treat.
By Tammy Nyenhuis October 6, 2018 - 2:14 pm

By Beth Williams October 6, 2018 - 2:19 pm

By Debbie Siddle October 6, 2018 - 3:45 pm
Make sure it’s not chunky for the postie to keep the cost of posting down. And if making a batch make sure you have enough of everything before you start so you don’t run out of anything. Have fun x

Less is more. You CAN over-embellish!
By Beverly Sizemore October 6, 2018 - 9:22 pm
Happy World Card Making Day! My favorite tip is to assembly line stamp my images and sentiments. Then cut all the mats, cardstock, etc. Then I can put them together while watching TV in the den with my family. It speeds up the process of making holiday cards.
By Toni Storie October 6, 2018 - 10:25 pm
Happy World Card Making Day! My favorite tip for holiday card making is to choose a single image and or sentiment to work with and use embossing. Embossing in gold or silver always ramps of the elegance for me.
By Kelly Kennedy October 6, 2018 - 11:01 pm
I always make multiple cards with the same design but will switch up colours using up my scraps.
By Stacey Kowbel October 6, 2018 - 11:38 pm
Such fabulous projects! The best way to make holiday projects, especially multiples, is to use a CAS design. Now, sometimes I just can’t resist going a little more detailed and fun, but saving time is always a desire for me.
By Carla Hundley October 6, 2018 - 11:57 pm
I love making cards for all

By Sandra Padilla October 7, 2018 - 12:48 am
I enjoy card making. My tip is look around for designs that are already out there and put a twist to it to make it your own! There is no need to reinvent, you’ll get stuck in thinking of ideas and never get to card making!
By Shari A. October 7, 2018 - 12:59 am
My absolute favorite tape runner. I have used several over the years, always looking for a better one. I quit looking after getting one of these. I just can’t find one better. It’s perfect. So, I guess my tip is, if you’re an avid paper crafter. Have the EZ Runner Grand Tape Dispenser in your tools. You won’t regret it. Honestly. ???
By Yvonne B. October 7, 2018 - 1:04 am
My tip would be not to wait until the last minute. I should follow this advice myself! LOL
By L Topps October 7, 2018 - 6:14 am
Always wondered how awkward or easy an EZ Runner Grand would feel. Those Christmas gift card holders were really cute!
By Kim October 7, 2018 - 9:01 am
My card making tip is don’t stress. Don’t aim for perfection, just enjoy the process.
By Alma Dirpaul October 7, 2018 - 9:29 am
My tip is to make cards in assembly line style to make many in a hurry
By Susan E Ackerman October 7, 2018 - 9:48 am

By Susan E Ackerman October 7, 2018 - 9:54 am
My tip is to have all of your supplies with you when you start your project, this way you do not have to interrupt your creative juices. I find it very relaxing making cards I just wish that I had more time. Work two jobs. Thank you for all that you create for us. Harry International Card Day
By Denise Bryant October 7, 2018 - 11:23 am
Make multiple cards. Once you have everything out to make a specific design, you might as well make an extra to have on hand!
By Krista Hong October 7, 2018 - 11:53 am
Just relax and have fun. Make two of everything.
By Helen Gullett October 7, 2018 - 12:09 pm
When it comes to making Holiday cards, I like to stick to CAS design that easy to mass-produce. Also keep the joy in your heart and mind, too. Make sure you have plenti of your favorite drinks and snack, with a long list of Christmas songs on your song list ??
By CHRISTI L STEINBECK October 7, 2018 - 12:34 pm
My Tip is to start right after the last holiday and do a few a month each month for the next year so you are not rushing to get them done for the following year. It takes sooo much pressure off you and makes it sooo much more enjoyable! I have been doing this for around 5 years now. I love it! It doesn’t mean you cant get the newest stamps and pretties it just mean you still buy them and start using them for the following year . You are always a year ahead! LOL Thank you for such a wonderful giveaway!
By Andre M. October 7, 2018 - 2:39 pm
Thanks for the chance to win these lovely goodies. My top tip is to get started early as time tends to run away from us the closer we get to the holidays.
By Penny Schrock October 7, 2018 - 2:41 pm
Give your self some time, keep it simple and make sure you have everything so you don’t have to stop to go get it.
By Taunya J Butler October 7, 2018 - 2:59 pm
My biggest trick to holiday card making is to make a whole bunch of the same card and do them in assembly-line fashion over a few days or weeks. Love your adhesives. They are the best!!
By RENITA SANDERS October 7, 2018 - 5:20 pm
I love the E-Z runner and the holiday cards. The runner lets you make many cards without running out of adhesive.
By Carrie T October 7, 2018 - 5:55 pm
My cards are all one of a kind so I have to start early. I love looking at your blogs to get ideas and definitely love your product to help me along the way.
By Merry Anne Elam October 7, 2018 - 7:22 pm
most of us think alike, starting early.. but if we dont stick to that (as always seems to happen to me) I just design a couple cards, run with them and do it in assembly order. NOW is the time to start so you are not panicking at the last moment.
By Grace Twietmeyer October 7, 2018 - 9:48 pm
My tip is that no matter how simple your card, everyone loves to receive a handmade card! Thanks for the chance to win!

By Lagene October 8, 2018 - 11:31 am
Awesome cards, I love your 3D adhesive tip in the last post to cut adhesive just a little bigger than small images and then die-cut them out! My tip is to start early.
By Jade S. October 8, 2018 - 7:06 pm
My tip – die cut the center of your larger frame mats and use them for a 2nd project.
By Christina Sheldon October 8, 2018 - 7:56 pm
I love using all different color combinations and styles of papers I will sometimes have six or seven different ones going at the same time and then finish them up as the inspiration strikes me. I keep in mind who the card is for and try and make sure that it is something really beautiful that the recipient would appreciate.
By Tracy Moloney October 8, 2018 - 11:56 pm
My tip is to keep it simple too … it gets pretty scary when they are all finished and you find they are either too large or too thick for standard postage. An extra tip is to get started early so that you can get them posted December 1st, allowing everyone a chance to enjoy them before Christmas 🙂
