It's Wednesday!

Creating a handmade greeting card is a wonderful way to show someone you care, and are thinking of them; it’s a fun and therapeutic activity to break up the week. Here’s a simple guide to help you craft a beautiful and heartfelt card this Wednesday.

Materials Needed:

Cardstock and Designer Series Paper
Stamps and Diecut/punches
Scissors
Liquid Glue or Stampin Seal tape
Colored pencils, markers, ink or blends
Embellishments
A ruler and pencil (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Prepare Your Card Base: You can choose any size, but a common size is 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" inches. Start by folding a piece of cardstock in half to create the base of your card.
Design the Front Cover: Think about the theme or message you want to convey. Draw or write a heartfelt message, or consider a simple design like a flower, heart, or balloon. Layering different papers or adding a ribbon can give a 3D effect and make your card stand out.
Add Personal Touches Inside: Open the card and write a personal message inside. Take your time to think about what you want to say to make it special. Use colorful pens or markers to add a decorative touch to your writing. You can also include small drawings or stickers to enhance the inside of the card.

Creating a handmade card shows thoughtfulness and allows you to express your creativity. Whether for a birthday, holiday, or to say hello, your handmade card will surely bring a smile to someone’s face. Enjoy your crafting!
