Hot Foiling and Simplistic Cards for Mass Production

Hello friends, I'm back with another card featuring products from the new Feeling Fall collection at Catherine Pooler that releases today - 9 am ET to be exact. I am seriously crushing on the Bushel and a Peck patterned paper pack which is prominently featured below, along with hot foil sentiments and that sweet little apple! This card is somewhat simplistic and if you scroll down, I'll tell you why.

Fun fact, apples were once a bartering item in the early days of  the American colonies. 

Harvest time often coincided with the start of school and teachers (who consisted of mainly single women) were often given apples as payment for services when times were tight since the families felt responsible for keeping the teachers fed.

There's your little history lesson on why apples are synonymously connected with teachers, even now in modern day. 

Which brings me to my reason for keeping this card simplistic. Mass production, people! We all need cards that we can easily produce in multiples. The Appley Ever After stamp set really brought that to mind for me  I wanted to make a card that can be mass produced relatively quickly for teacher cards, gratitude cards for co-workers, or any group of people that you need to make a number of cards.

How awesome would it be at the start of the school year, to show up at your child's open house event at school and gift the teachers a gratitude card? Talk about setting the tone for the school year.... What a way to show appreciation to your child's teachers right off the bat!

I also mass produced these foiled sentiments to have on hand. Catherine Pooler is now offering a line of hot foil plates and dies! And they're a beautiful signature teal color. You have to check them out!

I used my Glimmer hot foil system and red, gold and black hot foil to make these sentiments using the Joyful Thanks hot foil plate and die set. You can see in the photo below, all the hot foil plates and dies included in this set. Aren't they wonderful??!!

 

To make this process go quicker, I lined up all my hot foil plate sentiments on the Glimmer platform at once, rather than doing one at a time. I used a large piece of cardstock that measured nearly the entire length and width of the platform and did this 3 times, using a different color of foil each time, covering all the plates with one trimmed foil sheet.

My A2 card consists of trimmed pattern paper, some leftover green cardstock that I made using the Deck the Halls ink on white cardstock (see yesterday's card), a stamped apple, foiled sentiment and everything popped up on adhesive foam. You can easily adhere everything flat though.

You'll find affiliate links to the products that I used below, if you'd like to do some shopping. Just click the brand name below the photo to be taken directly to that product. I hope this inspires you to make some quick cards for those special people who deserve recognition or just to spread some cheer! Thanks so much for popping in today.
