One of my favorite ways to design cards is to start with a simple sketch.
When you have a layout that works, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel every time you sit down to craft. Simply change the Designer Series Paper, stamps, dies, and colors, and you’ll have a completely new look!
For this month’s July Product Spotlight, I challenged myself to create three completely different cards using the exact same sketch鈥攁nd I love how each one has its own personality.
- 馃尭 Begonia Belle creates a fresh, cheerful floral card that’s perfect for birthdays, thank you cards, or just because.
- 馃巹 Pretty Poinsettia transforms the same layout into an elegant Christmas card with beautiful layered dimension.
- 馃巸 Oh My Fright gives the sketch a fun Halloween twist that’s playful without being complicated.
It’s a wonderful reminder that you don’t need dozens of layouts to make beautiful cards. One great sketch can become endless possibilities!
