Save Money - Make Your Own Greetings Cards By: Carol Bell

There is a certain feeling that arises when you make your own greeting card for someone special in your life. To receive a special card, painstakingly made just for you, is a big compliment for anyone. The first step in the making of these cards is to find out the interest of the recipient. Is this person a special friend, your family member or a co-worker?

Which do you prefer, a greeting card with something humorous or one with a real serious sentimental tone? If you want a funny card, you will want cut outs of cartoons, or you might want to draw your own cartoons. For sentimental themes, you need to make use of more intricate designs such as flowers or rhinestones and you can even include your own version of mini hearts made from plaster. If you have the talent you may choose to draw your own graphics to grace the card.

Obviously you need to establish the purpose of sending the greeting card. Is it a birthday, anniversary or maybe because you just care? If it is a birthday, get a picture of a birth day cake if you don't have any other ideas. Include a photo of the American flag if you are celebrating Independence Day.

Make an effort to write meaningful copy for your greeting card otherwise all your previous efforts will be wasted. You can choose to include poetry as the message if this is easier. You are prohibited to sell those items if copyrighted poetry is used. But it is acceptable if you are creating it for a loved one.

Now that you know who the recipient is, the occasion and the interests of the recipient, you can go ahead and start making the greeting card. You will want to gather cut outs of any pictures you want to include, as well as scissors, glue, construction paper, markers, a pencil for outlining (in case you make mistakes), and don't forget your creativity! Perhaps a nice ribbon or lace will be a welcoming addition to make it stand out.

It is fun to create when there is no limit or restrictions on what you are allowed to do with your greeting card. There is no right or wrong way to make one and the only thing limiting factor is your own creative mind! Always strive to make the best card ever, it shows in the results. Your loved now will appreciate the greeting card, appreciating just how much hard work and time you have taken.
