Hey friends, how are you? My children only have two days left in school before the summer holidays, so I needed to whip up some super quick teacher appreciation cards!
To see how they came together, check out my reel on IG:

The stamp set I used for the bunny was the School Day Play set by Clearly Besotted (I just noticed this is on clearance on their website, so grab yourself a bargain - this is not an affiliate link, just a great deal!).
If you're planning on mass producing cards, here's a few tips I'd suggest:
1. Sketch out your card idea so you can plan your card supplies. You might even do a test run with one card.
2. Gather your cardmaking supplies.
3. Split the cardmaking process into tasks - make all of your card bases and card panels first, then do all of your die-cutting, all of your stamping, all of your colouring, then all of your assembling (or whatever tasks your project involves). Creating a production line streamlines the process and makes for quick handmade cards!
4. Choose simple designs - minimise time consuming elements such as fussy cutting or colouring.
I hope this is helpful! Do you batch make cards, or do you only ever make individuals? All the supplies I used for my cards are set out below. Unfortunately the stamp set I used for my sentiment (Brilliant Day by Honey Bee Stamps was an old one and no longer available, sorry!).
