Show someone that you love them and want to spend time with them. Have fun and make something special. Its not just a generic card. These cards contain your energy, and a memory of the special people in your life.
I have created a range of quirky, hand-drawn cards, that you can easily print at home. Most cards can be cut to the size you want. Color in the outlines to show off your personality and flair.
Why not break the rules and put color everywhere. If you make a mistake, remember there are really no mistakes just a different idea. You can also just use your printer to print another.
(Best results are on non glossy 200 gsm card)
Most home printers can handle 200gsm card. If you have a rear loading printer where the card doesn't bend in the printer you can use a stiffer card of 220gsm or more.
Use a non glossy paper or leave prints to dry between copies.
You can use Scissors or a card cutting guillotine. Allow an adult to help you if you are young and unfamiliar in cutting card. Some cards will have spaces between images to allow smaller cards to be produced. You can use your judgement or measure first before cutting to help with straight.
When you buy some of the cards, they come with a suggestion in the card description of what you could write. Don't feel bound to use it though. Honest, heart felt messages require vulnerability and bravery. Messages like these are remembered for a lifetime.
You can use felt tip pens, pencils and paint. Remember paint will need news paper to protect table tops and more drying time. If you use pastels, they can smudge easily, so spray with an aerosol fixative from a art store. Spray in a ventilated outside area and let dry.
