1. MUSICAL CARD: What is your favorite song? Create a mosaic type card front based on the lyrics from your favorite song. It will be like a pretty, still video for the card. If your favorite song was "Caribbean Queen" what do you think that would look like? If the title is not easy to interpret you may need to look up the lrics if you don't know them well to dig for inspiration. Look online...Type your song name and follow that with lyrics.
2. GIFT CARD: In addition to a card include a gift in the card either on the front or inside. It can be a paper gift or whatever else you think will make a cute small gift. You then should create your card with that gift as the inspiration.
3. COLOR CARD: Your favorite color & shape (You could choose pink & then choose circle...Your card would probably end up having a bubble gum theme) (If you chose green and square I am thinking patches of grass or a yard) elaborate on the color/shape idea.
4. RECYCLED CARD: Use something other than an actual card or cardstock as the base of your card. (Kraft Mac & Cheese, cereal box, Pringles can, lids from different products, etc...)
5. TEXT CARD: Use a page from a book, text from a magazine or something you print from your computer...The key being the words included in the card. It can be shaped, cute out, torn or just used as the back ground.
6. HEAD WEAR CARD: Hat's (I love hats. Don't youo love hats? I never wear hats but I thought a card with a hat would look cute...Father's Day, Father's Birthday, Grandfather, President's Day, Kid's birthday you know cowboys, Graduation)
7. ART CARD: Andy Warhol (If you are not familiar with his work look it up & interpret it to fit into your card. It will have a flair of you crossed with Andy Warhol. Maybe it will be your 15 min. of fame)
8. CARD DRAW: Hand draw a good portion of your card in any medium you choose.
9. FREE STYLE CARD: Free Style a card for a Birthday or what ever holiday may be coming up.
10. POLAROID CARD: Make the front look like a Polaroid picture but of what? You choose what it is of!
11. PHOTO CARD: Take a beautiful photo, print it smaller than the card size you choose to do. Paste to the front of a blank card with no other embellishment. Beauty in simplicity! Title it & sign below the photo. Here is the catch...the photo must be of an old piece of architecture in your area. It can be the whole building or part of it. It can be a house, commercial building or even a different sort of structure such as a bridge. You are an artist!
12. ONE INCH CARD: Inchies...Are y'all familiar with inchies? They are 1" x 1" pieces of art that are created and used in different pieces of art or just stand alone. I think that they look cute in groups. Create inchies to place on your card. Each one should be of something you love. This should be a cute challenge. (The card itself can be any size you like.)
13. Sun, Moon & Stars (Because it is pretty!)14. MEMORY/STORY CARD: Use a memory from your childhood to create a card. On the back of the card please inclue your story and sign it.
15. QUOTE CARD: Choose a quote and design your card around it. (Can be looked up on line, made up or something your family says, cute kid sayings are good)
16. WORD CARD: What is your favorite word? Come on, keep it clean...Now use that word as your inspiration to create your card and use the word on the card. My favorite word is "Haberdasher"(not really) but if it were I'd do a card that had the word and then perhaps a mannequin with a dress on it or some spools of thread or even a mens three piece suit.
17. ANIMAL CARD: Your pet...Either a current pet, a pet from your past or a pet you wish you had. Maybe you dream of owning a hedgehog or sugar glider. You could make a really cute card with your fantasy pet. :) If it is a past pet you could do your pet as an angel with a halo. It would be like a memorial card.
18. ACCORDION CARD: An accordion card...Not literally a card with an accordion on it rather a card folded like an accordion, like when you were a kida nd made a fan. This card would be a great card to add photos, journal and draw. It can be super artistic because you are creating many faces of the card. Really think about this one...It could be soooooo....cool!
19. TAG CARD: The card could hold tags, be made of tags, be the shape of a tag, have tags as it's embellishments, could be all of that together.
20. FOREIGN CARD-ENCY: This one will be about your fantasy vacation destination. It can be any shape, size, color, etc...BUT it should not have the name of the vacation destination on the card so the rest of us can guess the destination.
21. RECIPE CARD: Make your card with a recipe on it or in it. It should look like it is designed around the recipe. You could add the items used to make the recipe or a picture of the finished product.
