# Boho greeting cards with a handmade feel

Boho cards are the kind people keep on a shelf: a dried bouquet for a birthday, a sun for a new baby, an arch and a little house for a new home. Small shops sell them in sets; individuals print one for someone special. In ImageQuarry you describe the occasion and the artwork, leave room for a short message, and refine the version until it feels handmade rather than mass produced.

One occasion, one motif, space for a few words.

## How to design a boho greeting card with ImageQuarry

1. **Start from the occasion** Birthday, thank you, sympathy and new home cards each need a different mood. Describe the occasion and the motif, and ImageQuarry generates the artwork.
2. **Plan the message space** Front messages are short. Ask for the motif above or beside a calm area where a word or two will go.
3. **Refine the feel** Select the version and ask for a softer palette or a paper texture; each request builds on the selected version.
4. **Make a set** Generate variations for other occasions in the same style, then download the ones you will print.

## Boho card requests to start from

Requests you could write; each result is a version you check before printing.

- **Birthday bouquet**: A loose dried bouquet suits almost any birthday.
- **Thank you sun**: A smiling sun says thanks warmly.
- **New home arch**: An arch doorway reads as home without a whole house.
- **Sympathy card**: Sympathy cards need restraint and quiet color.
- **New baby moon**: Moons and stars are soft for baby cards.
- **Congratulations arch**: Graduations and new jobs suit an upward, open motif.

## What makes a boho card feel handmade

- **Texture over polish**: Paper grain, slightly uneven lines and visible brush or pencil marks read as made by hand. Ask for them by name.
- **Short front, long inside**: Fronts carry a word or two. The inside message is written or printed separately, so leave the front calm.
- **Card stock softens colors**: Uncoated and recycled card soften colors. Print one test before a batch.
- **Occasion sets the palette**: Birthday cards can be warm and bright; sympathy cards need muted, low-contrast colors.
- **Selling cards in a shop**: Shops that sell cards often group them in sets of four or six with one shared look. Keep the motif changes small and the palette fixed, and print a sample set to see the colors side by side on the stand before ordering a full run.
- **Variations make a set**: Generate variations of an image to explore directions, such as a birthday, thank you and new home card in one style.
- **Earlier tries stay available**: Each change produces a new version and earlier versions are preserved.

## Card occasions and briefs

| Occasion | Motif | How to ask |
|---|---|---|
| Birthday | Loose dried bouquet | "tied with string", "space below for a word" |
| Thank you | Smiling sun | "wavy rays", "oat paper" |
| New home | Arch doorway and plant | "terracotta arch", "minimal" |
| Sympathy | Single stem | "very calm", "pale sand" |
| New baby | Moon and stars | "blush and sage", "lots of white" |

## What is a boho greeting card?

It is a card in the bohemian style, illustrated with dried flowers, suns, moons, arches or desert motifs in earthy colors, usually with a handmade, textured look. Many are printed at home or by a local print shop in small numbers, which makes it easy to test a design on one card before printing more.

_It is not card printing or posting. Folding, card stock and the inside message are handled when you print, after you download the artwork._

## Boho card questions

### Can I make cards for several occasions in one style?

Yes. Generate variations of a card you like for each occasion so they look like one collection.

### Can I add a message to the front?

Ask for calm space and add the words in a design or print tool, where you can check the spelling.

### Can I make the colors softer for a sympathy card?

Select the version and ask for muted, low-contrast colors; compare it with the original.

### Can I use a photo of my own flowers?

Upload the photo and describe how to turn it into boho card art.

### Can I keep all my card designs together?

Organize them in a project or collection with their prompts and versions.
