No one can resist feeling appreciated when presented with a home made greeting card that was created especially for him or her. Imagine the delight in receiving a homemade card which was created just for you alone!
Who Is Your Greeting Card Recipient?
First, you need to find what their interests are. Who is the recipient to you?
Theme Of Your Greeting Card
Now is the moment to decide on the theme of the greeting card. To make a funny card, use cartoons, there are plenty to choose from! Whereas a sentimental theme might require you to prepare cut out flowers and some dazzling rhinestones. If you possess the talent, you can opt to draw your own graphics.
Don't forget you have to have a reason for sending the greeting card. So, what's the occasion, has the person just obtained that job they always wanted or is it their anniversary? For instance, if it is a birthday, a picture of a cake is usually acceptable! If it is to commemorate Independence Day, then use the American flag.
Words On Your Greeting Card
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. When you use other people's work, now the item becomes a non commercial item that you only use personally to send to friends and family members. For personal purposes, they are permissible, providing you aren't selling the card.
What You Need To Create That Greeting Card?
Now that you know what you will put on the greeting card, who it is for, and why you are sending it, the next step is to gather all the materials you will need to create it. 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! Try adding some lace and ribbons and see the effects for yourself.
Lets Make Your Greeting Card
The most important thing to remember when creating your own greeting card is the sky is the limit! Now the only limit is your own imagination. Let your imagination lead the way and create a card that is bound to amaze your loved one. Remember, the hard work will paid off when the greeting card remains as part of a collection in the hands of the recipient.
