Making Handmade Greeting Cards

Making handmade greeting cards is a great hobby for the avid crafter. It lets you use up rub-ons, stickers, ribbon, and paper leftover from other craft projects. Card making also provides a great opportunity to practice new crafting techniques on a smaller scale before you attempt to incorporate them into larger projects such as a scrapbook layout or altered art item.

While some people prefer to make handmade cards as they are needed, others create a stash of multipurpose cards that they can keep on hand to avoid making last minute trips to the stationery store. Choose whatever approach best fits your needs.

If you really enjoy card making, you may want to consider selling your designs. Starting your own card making business can be a very rewarding endeavor. Handmade cards are often popular items at craft shows, especially when people are looking for a unique way to present a gift.

Mari,

I love the Carol Duvall Show -- she has so many great ideas! I'm not sure which envelope cards you're referring to, there are many different techniques I've seen. I have tried both of these though, and they turn out quite nice.
