From this
To this.....I decided to give my recipe cards a little bit of a face lift
first I changed the type to something a little less heavy and lighter in colour made the edges of the cards a bit more elegant and changed the plain white cotton string to a much nicer blue & white candy strip cotton twine then package in a cellophane bag to protect them
I think with just these few little tweeks to their appearance and these look so much more inviting
what do you all think ?
If you would like to purchase a pack they are available in my Madeit store here
Wow, what a difference a tweak makes... I love what you've done to the edges - that with the lighter print colour works wonders and makes them look that bit more special. The twine does look more elegant than string.
ReplyDeleteAnd I now have to credit you for inspiring me. I've been racking my brain for ways of creatively packaging some covered buttons, hair bobbles and slides for Folksy (UK Etsy) and it's been holding me back from getting them into a shop. I'm thinking that using an index card with some printing over the top on the computer (not as nice as your letterpress) might be what I'm looking for... I've a nice stamp of 'The Shambles' - an ancient York cobbled street - that could work. A visit to the stationer's is in order - and a great excuse to finish work early ;)
Have a great weekend x
