Ideas For Handmade & crafted adults & kids Birthday,valentines, Easter & mothers day paper craft greeting Cards

Hand Made greeting craft Cards For All Occasions

There is nothing more interesting, personal and thoughtful than giving or receiving a handmade card. I love the different craft papers you can make or buy, ribbons, glitter and glue. Anything goes. They can be as simple or elaborate as you like and there are so many occasions and reasons to send a card. Sometimes its nice to just send a " thinking of you card" just to remind someone you havnt forgot about them. It is amazing how something so simple can brighten up your day. 

As a child i would love to receive mail by post it would make me feel special. I always loved pop up cards when growing up, they were fascinating and so detailed.

There are many different mediums you can use to create cards and i hope to cover as many as i can so i will be adding to this post as much as i can with new handmade card ideas for every occasion.

I like to use a good quality water colour paper or sketch book paper because you can hand draw and paint  anything you like which can be cut out and used on your card design. Using a good thicker paper enables your design to stand out on the card giving a 3D look adding depth and interest. It also will not curl or distort especially if you are using paints.

Try to collect different colours of paper. I rip strips of colour from old magazines, newspapers and junk mail. They are great for cutting little flowers out and save you loads of money so get recycling.
