For kids’ birthday parties, I don’t even buy cards! I use Word, a big fun font in a great color or two, write my own personalized message, add fun clip art or a pic from the web, and — Voila! — a colorful, personalized card for the cost of a sheet of paper and some ink. Plus, my kids can write their own messages on it, there’s plenty of space.
Yes, homemade cards are awesome!!!
Well for me homemade is the way to go. I am a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and making cards is my passion. I love hearing people tell me that they save every card because it is a work of art to them. When I hear that, I know that my card meant more to them than a $4.00 card because I made it. One thing that is helpful to me is making several cards without any greetings on them. That way I can pull it out and add a quick greeting to meet my need when I need it.
I like the greeting cards boxes you can get at Costco, have you ever seen those? They come in a cute vox, already organized. Not sure of the price breakdown but it is definitely cheaper than at the regular store.
Love that idea too!!!
