I have been stressed in the past too - now I just don't do it. There is no need to get stressed over something which should be an enjoyable hobby. Winnie x

Wow, thats alot of Christmas cards. I made about 350 last year, and that was a struggle as I work full-time, and I spent many an evening sitting up until
1a.m. or 2 a.m. sometimes. I think you had better start right away!

I made about 600 cards at christmas with the children at school. We had to have everything prepared for them - even down to the correct number of sticky buds
(sorry Michelle!). The teachers wanted to keep things in control, so the only thing the children were allowed to do was to colour in, where necessary and make
up the card. We chose about 12 designs and mass produced each of the cards in turn - a lot of work and I never got to do my own cards, as I was fed up with
them by the time we had finished. We bought pre-cut, but not pre-scored card and made up the 'toppers' or stamped images and any layering papers
separately, using punches where possible.
I would opt for scaling down, as advised by the others - better to enjoy doing less, than to get stressed. Kate x |

Crafting is for fun and relaxing, if you are getting stressed you will no longer enjoy it. That means it will become a chore and it will show in the quality of
your cards. You will then be even more stressed, there must be some you can cut down on..

Delegate? Maybe ask another crafter to help out if the people that ask for them pay for the cards?You could make the ones for close family and to fulfill
orders and the excess ask another crafter if they would like to help out for what ever you charge for cards?
