I've been wanting to do these for a long time – thank you cards inspired by the classic plastic bag design. You know, the kind that you get from small businesses that don't have their own printed bags. The design is just so iconic, and nostalgic too in a way.
Also, doing these gave me a chance to experiment with how to put my shop info on the backs of greeting cards. I wanted it just my logo and shop url in black, with a single line stating that they are hand-printed on recycled paper, which I think makes the cards feel a little more special for the person that gets one.
But, I didn't want to have to spend a lot of extra time doing that part. Usually (as I explained in my last post in case you missed it among the three hundred other things I covered...) doing two colors requires a separate pass for each. But in this case, the logo being on the back, when the card is flattened out the red and black areas are very isolated from each other. So I tried out using two separate squeegees, one for each color, and running them both in a single pass.
It worked out pretty well. I was able to turn out several dozen cards in one evening.
