Sometimes I create a design that I absolutely love and I just want to recreate it over and over and over again. In the card making world we call this batch card making and this is a really nice system to implement if you send a lot of cards but don't always have the time to sit down and create a card each time.
For this method of card making you can use a design that you come up with yourself or you can find a One Sheet Wonder or like a couple of weeks ago I used a Sheetload of Cards template. Now with the last two ideas the template can yield quite a few cards and sometimes the pieces for each card can end up strewn across your desk, the floor and sometimes even your chair. What I like to do to keep all the pieces contained are put them inside the card base.
For example I will cut all the pieces I need, I might even stamp on the pieces as well but I always start with my card bases. I cut, score and fold each base and then gently slide each piece of cardstock or DSP into the card base followed by my sentiment piece and any other diecut pieces I might need. If you like to store your cards and envelopes together then you can slide each piece into the envelope.
This way allows you to make sure you have all the correct pieces you need and contains them so they aren't floating around your desk.
Happy Paper Crafting!
