9 tips for choosing a card layout when creating
- Consider the message you want to communicate. Is it a holiday card, a birthday card, or something else? This will help determine the overall tone of your card.
- Keep your card design simple. Too many elements can be distracting and make it hard to focus on the message.

- Select an appropriate size for your card. A note card may be better for a shorter message, while a larger standard size card may be better for a longer one.
- Think about the colors you’ll use. Bright colors can be cheerful, while muted colors can be more subtle.
- Consider your stamp image. This will be your visual interest and add personality to your design. Will it be best suited for a landscape or portrait orientation
- If mixing sentiments, be sure the fonts pair well together.
- Don’t forget to leave enough room for a personalized message.
- Have fun with your design! Experiment with different ideas and make sure you’re happy with the end result.
