CAStunning Paper Birthday Cards
Paper birthday cards that are simply sensational. Is that what you are looking for?
Every greeting card’s so beautiful, you’ll want to keep them all. Make it yourself then!
That’s right! If you want your birthday greeting cards to be special and unique, you’ll just have to make them yourself.
Feel that you can’t achieve that professional look?
It’s okay! I thought so too once. But then I discovered rubber stamps and with a little bit of practice, every card I make can be as stunning, elegant and professional as any Hallmark cards.
Making my own birthday greeting cards can be so exciting. Every birthday greeting card is carefully planned with the birthday person in mind. Her favourite colour, her style and her favourite things; for example, pastimes and pets are taken into consideration for creating that perfect birthday greeting card. Once the design is in your mind, then begin to execute it by bringing out your card making supplies. Rubber stamps, clip-arts, ink pads, embossing powder and paper. Find co-ordinating coloured paper that are of good quality. Then start to make the birthday greetings. That’s when the excitement begins.
I can spend my whole day making greeting cards alone in the house. Sometime, I got so engrossed in my card making that I forgot to break for meals. And by the time I have finished making the card, I was famished.
Truly, it happened to me many times and I’m sure it will happen to you also once you got into card making. Try it! Instead of going out to look for that stunning birthday greeting card for a friend or family member, make it yourself or if it’s a birthday card for a child, make it with your children.
Below are some birthday cards I have created. Have a look and see whether these will inspire you to make some. Have fun!
