Tips and Tricks: Birthday on Holiday


When we’re talking “holiday” here, we mean ALL holidays – from New Year’s Day to Halloween and beyond. Some artists create a holiday design and make a relationship specific series. Others can’t stand the thought of mind numbing repetition so use a design only once. Well, no matter what path you choose to take in your craft, consider including one extra design while you’re creating – Birthdays on holidays.
It’s not uncommon for folks to have a birthday that coincides with a holiday. Remember a kid in class who had the incredible misfortune to be born on or around Christmas time? Yikes!
Well, even if you shun multiple uses for a design, you really should consider adding at least one birthday card to each holiday you’ve created cards for. If you’ve made a series speaking to a specific relationship or occupation, great – don’t forget to make an extra birthday card. It’s not that much extra work and you will reap the benefits. Cards like this sell over and over again. Just be sure to keep to the theme.
