Greeting cards are illustrated folded cards that are meant to express friendship,Tips For Making Your Own Custom Made Cards Articles 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 people interested in personalization and ease, there are a lot of useful websites. The websites allow people to pick from a wide range of greeting card formats and then personalize their design and message. For a nominal fee the helpful sites will then print off the cards and send them right to your intended person.

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.

A birthday is probably the most popular reason for sending or making a greeting card. It is the easiest occasion to make cards for as well since, unlike major holidays, you won't be swamped creating many cards at once. All you need are paints, paper, glue, and other art supplies.

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.

Choose ribbons of corresponding colors and then, when the paper is dry, situate them over the paper in the same way you would a wrapped gift. Glue the "wrapped gift" to the folded card stock's front, personalize the interior, and them mail it to your relative or friend.

If you have a white inked pen and colored card stock sheet handy, you can create unique and simple cards as well. Take the sheet of colored card stock, fold it equally in half, and draw in your message and design on the front with the pen. Choose to go with anything from eye popping patterns to simple greetings. Anything will end up looking good because the colors of the card and white ink will compliment each other nicely.

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.
