One of the most asked questions I get is how to come up with greeting card ideas. Most people say look on pinterest but that is too overwhelming.

The way I come up with greeting card ideas is with card sketches. Once I’ve picked a sketch then I choose a stamp set and designer paper.

In this video, I show you how I came up with this cute Valentine card using a card sketch and the Meant to Be stamp set and All My Love designer paper.

    I like that you mentioned that card sketches would be a good way to come up with a greeting card. I will be having a business trip in a month which just so happens to be the time when my husband would be going back to his hometown to celebrate his mother’s birthday. I will probably just have to give her a hand-drawn greeting card as compensation for my absence.
