I get a question different times asking how to make your cards stand out. I always go back to the aesthetic looks of your card. When you design a card always ask yourself “what makes this particular card stand out?” Have you added some form of texture to your card? This texture can be a ribbon or cord, embossing paste, or embossing folder.
Today’s card uses an embossing folder that is not retiring. I used Garden Trellis as my embossing folder. One of my golf friends ask for a Thank You card and she happens to grow the gorgeous roses. She truly has the green thumb. So I went back to Petal Palette stamp set. I am so glad it made it into the new catalog which by the way has several new embossing folders coming out in June.
This card is what I call a Concept card because all you need to do is change the greeting. So think of it as a Mother’s Day card or a Get Well card.
