One of the most popular questions I get is about how to design a card. On today’s video, I walked through my thought process, including selecting materials and how I change my plan as I go along. A handmade greeting is truly an evolution – from the initial vague idea to the final finished card. Be sure to watch today’s video for tips on how to develop your own card making process.
I started with the Dragonfly Garden stamp set and coordinating Dragonfly Punch, and my last few sheets of the Sale-A-Bration Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper. I can hardly believe that Sale-A-Bration is nearly over — only 5 days left!
The first color I picked was the Granny Apple Green, and I used the ombre paper on both my background and the stamped and punched dragonfly. But then I decided that Bermuda Bay would be a pretty color for this card, too.
What do you think? Do you have a preference?
Either way, the supplies and process are mostly the same. I thought about adding the Mossy Meadow Braided Linen Trim, but ended up leaving it out and just letting the sweet Ladybug Trinkets steal the show as embellishments.
Ready for the video tutorial? I’ll walk you through the steps on how I started with an idea and modified it along the way to create this pair of cards with the Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper (only 5 days left to get it for free!).
