Greeting cards are illustrated folded cards that are meant to express friendship, love, and other sentiments. Typically they are handed out or mailed to friends and family members on birthdays, anniversaries, and major holidays. Others are given out to convey feelings of sympathy and thanks. Store bought cards are inexpensive and convenient but they are massed produced and generic. Custom made cards are a better idea for people who are interested in taking a more personal approach.
For anyone looking for personalization and convenience, there are a number of helpful websites. The sites allow users to choose from a wide variety of card topics and then personalize their images and message. For a small fee the helpful websites will then print the items out and mail them directly to your intended recipients.
The sites are very useful but making your own custom greeting cards can be extremely rewarding if you have the gumption and spare time. Plus, your family members and friends will really appreciate the sentiment and you'll also feel creative and rewarded.
Birthdays are one of the most popular reasons for making and sending out greeting cards. They are also the easiest occasion to make homemade cards for since, unlike with major holidays, you won't have to create a lot of cards all at once. And all you really need are a few art supplies such as paper, paint, and glue.
First, take two large sheets of card stock paper and cut one of them in half. Fold up the other and set it aside and cut out enough colored wrapping paper to cover one side of the cut card stock. Then, use rubber cement or glue to adhere the paper to back and front of the cardstock.
When it dries, choose a ribbon of corresponding color and situate it over the wrapping paper the same way it would look on a wrapped gift. Next, glue the piece to the front of the folded card stock, personalize the inside and mail it off to your friend or relative.
If you possess a piece of colorful card stock paper and a pen filled with plain bright ink you will be successful in creating a simple and personalized card too. Take the colored paper and fold it sideways and then, with the white gelled pen, sketch out your image and message on its front. You can pick anything from a basic greeting to a pattern of personalized designed. Nearly anything will go well as the white and colorful paper will correspond with one another.
If your specialty isn't drawing, you should consider obtaining and using adhesive book covers. First, sketch out your design and cut it out with an exacto knife. Stick it to the card's top and use it as a stencil, filling it in with the white ink. Peel it off once the special ink has dried up and then admire your creation. If it meets your standards, insert it into a large envelope and then mail it off to your desired family member or close friend.
