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!
