It's always good to have a few cards on hand for those times when you just need a card... and fast! If you create blank cards that fit numerous occasions, then you will find you won't need to scramble to finish one. Let's start the year off right and create a few blank cards. Make sure you leave room for the sentiment to be added later. This is a great way to make sure you have a card for whatever life throws your way.

Here is my example:

Very pretty cards Lora. I like those colors together... even tho I'd never have thought to put them together. [colorphobia I guess. Ha!] I used to have blank cards on hand all the time and it was great! Thanks for the incentive to get back in the habit.

Those are very pretty, Lora.  Hmm, I usually have some that are good for any occasion, even with a sentiment, I just don't do the inside.  I'll have to try leaving some room on the outside.

I've been wanting to do up a batch of cards, so this is inspiration I needed. Your cards are lovely, Lora. Lovely Lora. Hmmm.. Could that be your new nickname?  Wink

Does 2 count as a batch? Honestly, I had DPs cut out and card forms for six cards, but after I'd done two, I was sick of the design. It's not that I don't like it; I just don't like to repeat most designs. I get bored too quickly, I guess. Anyway, here is my batch of two.

Ha! A batch of two still counts... if it were cookie dough, you'd just have made two great big giant cookies. Smiley
