Yes, I have to admit – I love handmade cards. 🙂 It’s the time, effort and appreciation someone puts into the unique piece of art. And sometimes people would like to give a handmade present to loved ones but they think they are untalented. First of all, everyone has a talent. And you don’t have to be an artist or study art. You just need inspiration and the will to do something awesome.
So, here you will find some inspiration for handmade cards. All of them are easy to do and you don’t need a lot of supplies. I promise 🙂
CRAFTED CARDS
Start with choosing your paper. You can use regular paper (you use for printing) or crafting paper (which is a bit thicker). Fold it in half and cut it to the size you want. Then, start crafting with paper, scissors, glue, thread…
For this birthday card I reused leftovers from gift wrapping papers. You see, an eco-friendly card. 🙂
PAINTED/DRAWN CARDS
Another method for handmade cards is drawing or painting. If you don’t have paint colours (or you don’t want to mess around), use colouring pencils instead. For these three cards I used a black marker and colouring pencils and coloured felt pens.
You see, it’s that simple. I hope I could inspire you to create your unique gift cards for your dear ones.
Have a wonderful week,
