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!
