Happy birthday. Hold this lightly: tape, paper, and an honest line. I hope there is room for handmade care.
Kraft paper birthday cards
Kraft is fiber and marker. Vintage may use the same brown but talks about albums. Paper-crane is hope held lightly for a hard year. A kraft card can be cheerful and still look made at the table. Caveat is for short lines. If the wish is long, switch the font to Nunito in Studio. Write as if you lettered it. Skip corporate phrasing.
