From Concept to Click: Building My Printable Greeting Card Collection

From Concept to Click: Building My Printable Greeting Card Collection

 The Creative Process

Every card in my shop starts with an idea—whether it’s a playful birthday dinosaur, a woodland deer, or a sweet cupcake with sprinkles.

I use a mix of tools and platforms to bring those ideas to life:

Creative Fabrica

I often source high-quality illustrations, fonts, and design elements from Creative Fabrica. It’s a great platform for commercial-use graphics, especially when I want to incorporate charming animal characters, watercolor textures, or fun party icons that match my aesthetic.

Canva

Once I gather the visuals, I use Canva to bring everything together. It’s my go-to for designing clean, print-ready layouts. I customize everything—from text placement to color balance—making sure each card is visually appealing and easy to print at home.

Original Touches

While I use licensed design assets, I personally curate and compose each card. I take time to balance the visuals, hand-pick color palettes. Every design is crafted with care, tested for print quality, and formatted for convenience (usually in 5x7" PDF format).
