This card takes approximately 10 minutes to make, and it couldn’t get much quicker and easier for a handmade birthday card. I was thinking “Man-Card” when I made it, but it would be great for any gender, and any age. When you make handmade cards, it becomes impossible to purchase a birthday card, …
The new Frostwood Lodge DSP reminds me of a country cabin, and I used a piece of this home-spun paper for my card today to create a country kitchen feel for a birthday card. The sketch comes from Jen Mitchell and Freshly Made Sketches. Isn’t it such a lovely, clean sketch to work with? It …
