20 Handmade Card Ideas and Tutorials

Making a card for your loved one allows you to provide a personal expression of your feelings. The act of making a card shows that you are putting a great deal of thought and effort into the process. For some situations, there is no commercially made card that is appropriate. Sometimes, the way that you feel cannot be adequately expressed without physically making the card.

Handmade cards involve the careful selection of cardstock, paying close attention to color, texture and design. Crafting a card also involves choosing a sentiment to write or stamp onto the card, along with decorative touches such as appliques, embossing powder, cut-outs, edges and many other fine details. Your finished product is sure to be a work of art, and the recipient will know that you put much time, energy and attention into the project. These creative handmade card ideas are sure to inspire you.
