Making Gift Card Sets from Digital Scrapbooking Supplies

I rarely buy cards. It’s not that I don’t like to send cards, it’s just that they are so expensive. This is why I love ScrapSimple Card Templates! We’re all trying to be wise with our finances these days and if we could save a few dollars each time we would normally purchase a ready-made card, then why not?
ScrapSimple Card Templates make that possible, but it gets even better. Not only do you save money, but your family and friends will be thrilled to receive a card created especially for them, by you. The possibilities are endless!
To make the cards for this review, I am using Jan Hicks’ ScrapSimple Craft Templates: 5x7 Greeting Card Gift Set. It comes with several different digital card templates. The first thing I do is place all of the layers together in one digital file, or if your software is able, open the PSD file.
I then add papers, clipping them to the layers (Ctrl+G). Next, I add my digital embellishments, alphas, and/or word art.
Next, I create the inside of the greeting card using a few coordinating embellishments and add a personal sentiment. Our awesome designers have created digital brushes for this, too!
This is a fast and inexpensive way to create personalized greeting cards with your digital scrapbook supplies that you can print out at home!
