Three card sketches, three talented
designers, and three terrific results!
BY BECKY FLECK
Nothing conveys love more than sending a
handmade card. From valentines and holiday
greetings to birthday celebrations and wedding
wishes, cards are paper treasures often kept for
years to come.
One way to make quick work of creating a
handmade card is to use a sketch. We invited
three designers to create seasonal greetings
using CardMaps as inspiration. Their beautiful
creations would delight anyone lucky enough
to receive them!

Michele was inspired by the Valentine theme of the sketch, replacing the lacy
doily with an oversized heart. She nested two hearts together, along with a
computer-generated sentiment, then hand-sewed around the perimeter of the
shape to secure. A base of ribbon, twill and patterned paper, adhered at an
angle, serves as the platform for the heart, and a cluster of three kraft paper
flowers completes her beautiful card.

Michele integrated her sentiment (line from the ever-
popular Twilight series) into the layered heart by
trimming the left and right edges to match the shape.
