Hello. I’m sharing two cards today that feature the same card design, but with a few modifications…<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
\nFor me, the hardest part of the card making process is coming up with the design. I wanted to share how I just changed up a few elements to make two different themed cards. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nFirst up is the teacher card…<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nTHIS<\/a> stamp set is so sweet and it made me immediately think of a momma with her baby. However, it also works well for a teacher card. I’m a big fan of spoiling teachers as they take such good care of our kiddos and thought these adorable images would work well. I stamped, colored and cut them out and adhered them to a scene created with THESE<\/a> papers and THIS<\/a> and THIS<\/a> die.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI used THIS<\/a> teacher word die to go along with the sentiment that I white heat embossed and finished off the card with a couple of THESE<\/a> clouds as well as a few of THESE<\/a> flowers. I also added shine to the teacher die using this shimmer pen. Adding these feminine touches is perfect for this theme of card. <\/div>\n
\n
\nFor the Dad card…<\/p>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI took away the feminine touches and added THIS<\/a> sentiment (cut with THESE<\/a> dies) instead. Masculine cards can sometimes be tricky and I think less is more when it comes to guy cards.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI hope this inspires you to tweak your card design to get multiple cards. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day. <\/div>\n
