I started to mass produce a dozen cards when I was at the stamping retreat a few weekends ago - I didn't get them all done when I was there but it took less than an hour to finish them when I got home:
I wanted to make a bunch of cards with my new Manicurabellas stamp (of course I HAD to own that as soon as I saw it *grin*) and decided to make several that people can buy when they buy a gift certificate from my salon. That way they've got the perfect card to present the gift certificate in!
All the patterned paper is from the Basic Grey Kioshi paper pad. I used almost all scraps for these cards - I had a pile of them sitting on the table and just used them up and cut up more strips as I went along.
The buttons and the brads are also from the Kioshi line.
The ribbon is May Arts - I used green on half and purple on the other half (and half the card bases are green and the other half are purple - I had to mix it up a teeny bit!).
I stamped a dozen of the Manicurabellas images onto two sheets of CCD White Cardstock then colored them in with Copics - that part took the longest. Honestly I didn't try to make them look perfect as that would have taken WAY too long - but they still had to look cute!
I didn't take a pic of the markers like I normally do but here's the ones I used:

The sentiment is actually from my Christmas Sentiments set LOL! I stamped it in black onto some of the more solid colors in the patterned paper pack then punched it out with my SU! Word Window punch.
