Card Sketches and Digital Cards

Today I tried to make some plans for upcoming projects.  I do not usually make sketches before I create a card or layout.  I was using my CM StoryBook Creator software and I decided to try to do a few "fillable" card designs.  I could either use these as sketches or plan and print the final cards or toppers using digital paper and embellishments.

 Here is the first card sketch along with the "recipe" and the measurements of the various pieces.  If I use this as a fillable template I don't have to worry about the measurements or cutting until the full topper is ready to print.

There are so many variations with just a few elements in the design.  Of course, sketches are just starting points so more elements could be added or the layout could be changed.

 Here is a second sketch or "fillable" template  The elements are grouped but I can ungroup them and then change the paper, colors and sentiment.

I did a couple of trial version for this sketch as well.

I may start keeping a file with a collection of these so I can make quick cards.  These are just a few super simple designs.  If you have any questions on how to do this let me know and I will do a more detailed tutorial.

It was a quiet Sunday.  I am still trying to get rid of the last of this cold and, unfortunately, my husband seems to have caught it now.  Eventually we will be normal again!  I did catch up with some but not all of my emails and comments/questions.  If you have been waiting for a reply, please go ahead and email me again in case I missed your message - thanks!
