Christmas in July Cards with OOAK

Hi! If you've arrived here after participating in the One of a Kind Christmas in July online event, welcome!

My mission for this workshop was the following: efficiently make a large number of holiday cards from 12x12" papers with few scraps while sharing time-saving techniques.

(Insert "Mission Impossible" music here.)

The end result was a total of twenty cards from just twelve sheets of 12x12" paper, five yards of ribbon, and one 6x8" sheet of adorable stamps. Here they are:

We put together a kit that includes the papers, ribbon and stamps so you have everything you need to create the cards. If you haven't already picked it up, the kit is still available. (You can also purchase the stamps and the papers/ribbons individually.)

Instructions

I find that I like to learn about a project two ways: by reading the instructions and by watching a video tutorial. You'll find both right here.
