Make a Card Monday - Make LOTS of Cards

There's is a volunteer-run organization in my area that supports our military families. For Christmas, they gather food and personal care items to pack into stockings that they send to our troops. In each stocking, they like to include a handmade card. I have so many Christmas supplies that I figured I could make a bunch to be sent.

 

Using one 6x6 paper pad (Wonderland Collection by Studio Calico), I ended up with about 75 cards. Including a few I already had on hand, I was able to give 87 cards. That's such a good feeling.

I started with this idea. But neither in her post nor even in her video tutorial did she give links to the sketches or a cut list.  I took notes as I worked though and will share them with you. 

 

All of the patterned papers are from one 6x6 paper pad (which I forgot to take note of!). All of the card bases and cardstock pieces are scraps or DCWV.
