Card Sketches
These card sketches make planning a card layout incredibly easy.
Sketches are a time-saver. Instead of cracking your brain over the placement of elements on your card, a sketch simply allow you the freedom to focus on selecting your papers and embellishments. You can see sketches sort of like a "map" that gives you directions of where each major element should go to. But none of these are carved in stone. You can follow the sketches exactly or you can always add your own twist. It's common for people to add variations to a sketch. It's really up to your imagination and creativity. The marvel of sketches? Even if you and your 5 friends use the same sketch, the card each of you creates will look very different from each other's! That's because everyone has different tastes and cardmaking supplies. So your choice of supplies for the card will vary greatly from one friend to another. The next time you're stuck for ideas on making birthday cards or cards for any occasion, simply browse through the sketches below for inspiration.
