This week's challenge is a lot of fun and something I know I will use a lot. Would you believe that I really didn't do this before until I saw these cards posted by Missy at Designer Digitals:



I loved the idea of printing mini-layouts and using them as the basis for a card! I had done photo cards before but never used print digital layouts, adhered them to cardstock. Here's my take - just in time for Father's Day:



Here's a few tips:
Card blanks are typically 4 1/4" by 5 1/2". I created a 4x6 canvas with the plan to trim it down to 4 x 5 1/4".
I used a layout template to speed up my design and resized everything down 40%. Be sure and resize your elements and papers so they are sized appropriately for the card. You can see challenge #15 for more information on creating digital layouts.
You can also add your buttons etc after printing!

Have fun with it and please feel free to ask any questions about this!
