One for him and One for her: Birthday Cards Ideas!

We are revisiting a project from Christine, one of our past CutCardStock Design Team members.

Today I created a couple cards using pieces from our Brown Bag line.  I actually created two cards – one for a man and one for a woman – and they are both based on the same sketch.  I wanted to show you how easy it can be to take a simple sketch and make it work for you over and over again!

Here the cards are side by side and here is the sketch I worked off of.  
You can see that I followed it somewhat loosely.  Using the initial base to create and then letting my creativity roll from there!  But I wasn’t done with just creating the cards, I wanted to have matching envelopes!
 I used items that coordinated with what I had done on each card and the same basic “sketch” for my design but they each work for a man and a woman.
 These brown bag envelopes are fabulous and a little bit of coordinating washi tape to dress them up even more can make them extra special!
Thanks for stopping in today!

Creating Cards for the Guys

Why does it seem so difficult to create cards for the guys? I hear it often. Guessing it’s because we use so many floral stamps. Florals are one my favorites!! Although, I think selecting the right colors help make a card masculine instead of feminine. I tend to reach for blues and greens for the…
