Here are a couple of ways to make hybrid cards to match a gift. Gift baskets of all sorts make lovely eye-appealing gift packages. Coordinating the elements is easier than you may think.
You’ll need digital graphic software like Photoshop or Photoshop Elements and white card stock for both cards.
The baskets used here are fabric bread baskets or Panadieres. Panadieres are gifts in themselves because they serve all sorts of purposes other than serving bread. They make handy catch-alls for dresser or desk top; or can be used to corral mail or keys near a door.
Each gift basket I put together contains a pack of paper napkins selected to coordinate with the fabric and a 4 x 4-inch birthday card to match the napkins. I tucked a CD of classical music in the multicolor basket and jasmine-scented guest soaps and incense sticks in the blue basket.
Here's how to design and print hybrid cards.

Thank you , Maria. I hope your readers like it.
This is one of my favorite ways to share my craftiness with friends who are not so inclined.
That is a wonderful touch. I love beautifully wrapped gifts almost as much as the gifts themselves.
Me too, Tammy!
