Make Your Own Greeting Cards
by Flora Tan
Card making is a popular craft that anyone can enjoy without spending a
lot of money. Most of the supplies needed for card making can be found
in your home. Look in your children’s' rooms or school bags and you
should be able to gather the basic tools and materials.
Listed below are some basic card making supplies that you need to make
your first card.
1. A4 size white cardstock
2. double-sided foam tape
3. a pair of scissors
4. colored pencils, watercolors, or crayons
5. steel ruler
6. cutter
7. rubber stamp
8. black inkpad
9. black writing pen
First, cut the white cardstock into 2 pieces. Fold one piece of
cardstock in half at the centre to make a single-fold 4" x 6" greeting
card and put it aside.
Next, ink your rubber stamp with the black inkpad and stamp on the other
piece of white cardstock. Color the stamped image and trim around the
black outline. Now attach the colored image onto the front of the
single-fold card with double-sided foam tape. Place it in the middle of
the top portion of the card. And finally, write a greeting below the
stamped image.
And voila ... your first handmade greeting card.
Now make more of these and send them to your friends. Let them know how
much you love and treasure them and their friendship.
