Make Your Own Cards, Use Quotations!by Catherine PulsiferCards are a great way to express our feelings and thoughts towards another person. We have been making our own cards for the last couple of years. We make our own cards for birthday, anniversary, congratulations, valentines, Christmas, and any other occasions. The cards we make are more meaningful than those that we previously bought, as we find just the right expression that we want for the card. We have found that the cards we have made mean more to people than the ones we previously bought. Also, the cards we make are a lot cheaper! Buying cards in a card shop can now cost you from $3.00 to $10.00 or more! The cards we make cost under $1.00 to make. The extra money we have saved allows us to buy, or make, the person a little something extra! We use card stock paper which is 110 lb paper. You can buy it in packages of 150 sheets or more. It goes through our ink jet printer with no problem. We use a template from Microsoft Publisher, but there are many different software programs for making cards. Using your computer to make your cards allows you to use different fonts, different colors and different pictures on your cards. Or, you can handwrite your cards. Using the card stock paper, you can cut pictures from old cards. You can use different colored markers, or pens, to write in the card. On the back of our cards we always include, "Made Especially For You by Cathy & Byron", and we always show the date of the occasion. All of our cards include a personal note in the card, and we consistently use quotations in our cards. We find quotes often express a thought, or send a message, that expresses our feelings for the person.
