Frightening Feline Tutorial - How to Mass Produce Cards




I just love Halloween and all the cute and fun and not-so-scary things about it. This Frightening Feline stamp set is in the Holiday catalog. I loved it when I first saw it but thought that I didn't need another Halloween stamp set, but I couldn't resist and HAD to have it! AND I'm TOTALLY loving the Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP from the Holiday Catalog. I'm having a hard time figuring out which paper to use because I love them all!

I came across this sketch on Freshly Made Sketches and knew right away what I was going to do! I flipped it and couldn't get the flags to work on the top with everything else so I opted to just have a small amount on the bottom. What do you think of this card? I love it but almost think the kitty needs something - eyes - a collar...any ideas?


I was making this card for a monthly card swap I was in and have been meaning to make a tutorial on mass-producing cards, so I finally did it! If you would like the free tutorial - CLICK HERE! The instructions can be used to make 1 or many of the same card. The trick to mass producing is to work assembly line style - rather than one card at a time....it makes a HUGE difference. I've made 40-50 at a time for swaps and then at Christmas time I usually make about 10-15 of each style of card for a total of about 60 or more depending one what I'm doing!

Enjoy! If you have any questions or would like to place an order please let me know - I'm happy to help.

  1. I love this paper too! And it's perfect with your scary kitty! Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches!

    P.S. It would be greatly appreciated if you turned off Word Verification. It's usually pretty difficult to decipher the numbers and letters. Thanks!
