Ideas On Making Your Own Custom Made Cards

By Mary Rutter


Greeting cards are artistically made cards that are intended to express friendship, love, and similar feelings. Generally they are given out or sent to friends and relatives on birth days, anniversaries, and other holidays. Other cards are handed out to express feelings of empathy and thanks. Store purchased cards are cheap and convenient yet they are massed made and generic. Custom made cards are a great idea for anyone who is interested in taking a more unique road.

For anyone who is looking for convenience and personalization, there are plenty of websites that may prove helpful. The sites all allow their users to choose a card from a variety of topics and personalize its message and image. The websites will even print and mail the items to the intended recipients for a small fee.

These sites are useful but if you have the spare time and gumption, making custom greeting cards yourself can be extremely rewarding. Your friends and family members will appreciate the personalized sentiment and you'll feel rewarded and creative as well.

Birthdays are some of the most normal reasons for creating and mailing out greeting cards. They are also the simplest time to make the cards because, unlike with bigger mass holidays, you will not have to make a ton of items all at one time. And all you really require are some art supplies like paper, colored pens, and rubber cement.

Take two nine by eleven sheets of plain thick paper and slice one in two. Fold the other sheet and then put it aside, then choose and cut enough themed wrapping paper to cover one part of the smaller paper sheet. Use a tiny amount of tape or rubber cement to glue the wrapping paper to the top part of the card stock.

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 art is not your favorite hobby or strongest suit, think about using an adhesive paper. Draw out your desired image, cut it out with a utility knife, and then adhere it on front of the card stock. Then you'll simply have to use the sticky paper as a primitive stencil and go over it with the ink. When you are through, just peel off the sticky paper and admire your new card.
