Magic Monday Layout- Week 6

Magic Monday Layouts is a blog I am doing to feature layouts I have done. (Sadly I forgot about monday this week because of the school holiday!)

I decided to feature card layouts this time. I have had an order for specialized thank you cards for a local business and I have made up some demo cards to show her.

She asked me to use both a cat and dog and to say Thanks or Thank You. Other than that I have free reign. What do you think of these two options?

I really like the top one for the straight lines and great colors.

Both are pretty easy to make in bulk which is very important if I'm going to make many of the same card.  I was able to use my Cricut machine for the animals. I also used the Coluzzle for the circle 1/4's. If you want to so something similar make sure you have enough materials to make multiples of an item, but also make sure you dont have really tedious cutting or specialized techniques that are time consuming.

Keep it simple, but make it look cool too!

Another important thing is to make it fit into a standard envelope if your customer is going to mail it.

I hope you found some ideas for you.

Happy Scrapping!

Baby Card Trio

I find myself going through spurts of creative styles. Do you?
I got some super cute stickers from Martha Stewart that just screamed super cute baby cards! I made up some sets of 3 cards and will add them to my collection of cards to go into stores.
I used my Cricut to cut the scalloped circles and everything else is just straight lines and edge ink distressed. I think they turned out really cute! These cards are about 3x5 and have a perfect sized envelope too!
I plan to put them up for sale on my website too at ahadesignsonline.com if you are interested!

Right now I am doing other cards too for some stores that I have product in. I'm also getting ready to go to some other stores to expand... I have some fun dog and cat cards that are for a Pet Food store here in Gresham, OR;

some tea-themed cards for a tea shop in Sandy, OR called Chariteas. (how cute is that!) And I am doing this special wedding/shower invitation for a wedding show that Chariteas is doing. I think it turned out really cute!

And I am in Lillians Natural Market in Downtown Gresham too. I hope to get into some more shops this year and start my business off with a bang!!

Happy New Year Crafting!
