Here is another card created with the Well Said Bundle. This also shows you the variation of using products. Although, this birthday card can also be considered a masculine card. Everyone is always concerned that they cannot create cards for men. This is probably a great example of how to combat that dilemma. Furthermore, changing the colors can also make it more feminine if that is what you are looking for.
