Work Smarter NOT Harder! Tip Tuesday!

 Hello Crafty Friends!
Welcome to Tip Tuesday!
Everyone knows the saying...Work Smarter NOT Harder...It sounds familiar, huh?
With our busy schedules and the desire to still craft, I thought it would be perfect to share a tip on how to accomplish both.
First, choose a sketch that you truly like and use it to make multiple cards for various holidays. You will only have to measure once, which will save time.

Here is the sketch I used today.

Since there are numerous holidays approaching it was easy to create a few cards. I measured the papers only once, the centered frames are all from the same cartridge (Elegant Edges) and they were cut at the same size (3", 3 1/4", qnd 3 1/2"). I altered the shape slightly, but the size still remained the same and fit perfectly between the two rectangles.  


Since the colors, die-cut, and embellishments are all different each card is still unique.
Now...are you ready to work smarter and not harder?!?!
Stay Creative,
Georgiana
