Shades of Flowers Embossed Card

Day 3

If you are a paper crafter who enjoys creating unique, one-of-a-kind cards, then you know the importance of adding your personal touch to each piece. When you want to keep the color scheme from a previous homemade card, there are simple ways to refresh the design and make another card. Follow along for ideas!

Take care,

Consider changing the ribbon and opting for a metallic finish to add a touch of elegance.

Instead of using gems as an embellishment, try using dragonflies and birds for a whimsical touch.

You can also switch up the texture by embossing instead of debossing a cardstock layer.

With these tips, you can take your handmade cards to the next level and impress your recipients with your creativity and attention to detail.
