Making Home Made Cards

June 29th, 2009

Making home made cards is one of the easiest way to personalize a gift. No matter what your gift is, if you have a handmade card to go with it, then it is a personalized gift. But, of course, you have to choose the right gift too. For example, a girly gift for a boy will not be appropriate unless you are making a joke of course. There is a great book called Creative Cards that has many projects for you to do. There are 40 projects altogether for:

handmade invitations,
greeting cards,
gift wrap and more

The book is by Paula Pascual and has 142 pages. You can make creative cards for pretty much any occasions. Creative Cards will show you how to:

coordinate cards,
gift wraps and tags for designer style
use quick and easy techniques for professional looking projects
choose fronts and layouts for maximum impact
make multiple invitations and tags quickly and inexpensively

This book go through basic techniques you can use as well as all the tools you are going to need. You will not need all the tools of course since there are always something that you can do with whatever tools you have on hand already.

You will learn so many techniques!

I started off not knowing what to do but this book teaches me so many techniques. Some of them are much easier than I thought and they are really fun to do. You can make personalized gifts and have fun at the same time. Some of my favorite techniques are:

tearing edges with water
punching edges with different punches
using double sided tape to fix a small piece of paper onto a large piece
using sticky dots tape to fasten ribbons
using self adhesive dots for a 3-d effect
using silicone glue for uneven surfaces
attaching 3 dimensional objects to the cards
using glitter to make glittering cards
making epoxy stickers using dimensional glue and using needle to break air bubbles
using page pebbles instead of dimensional adhesive
stamping
making your own stamps out of an eraser
using embossing ink to stamp with
using paper punches
using die cuts
using stencil embossing with just a metal stencil
using fixative or hair spray to make sure chalks stay
etc etc

There are so many easy to use techniques and you are sure to have fun with many of them.
