In honor of all those men & boys in our lives (& the upcoming holiday), we thought we'd focus on all things masculine! It's always good to find inspiration for masculine cards, so this week's gallery should be a treasure box of clean & simple design ideas for everyone!
As always, remember the following CAS guidelines when creating your design:
- One main image
- Lots of open space, uncluttered
- Limited layers & embellishments
- Quick & easy to recreate (Note: It may take a while to create a design you like, but once you have that design, making more should be a piece of cake!)
7 Kids College Fund is returning as our wonderful sponsor & this week's winner will receive a $20 gift certificate to the online store!
Let's take a look at what the design team and this week's guest designer created for inspiration!
