Can you imagine how life will be without greeting cards for many special occasions? It is a heart warming feeling just to receive a card from someone special to us and what more if it is made personally by your host? Actually, it does not necessarily means that card making should be done only when there are special occasions about to come like birthdays, weddings, Christmas and other exceptional events.
You can give cards to anyone even when you just feel like saying thank you or sorry for a particular person.
Card making should be regarded as one productive hobby anybody can do if given enough time and effort during the learning process.
There may be people out there who are wondering how they can start in card making.
Well, the process is generally simple and basic.
You may want to start out from a simple piece of paper.
Prepare some coloured pens or crayons together with a scissor and glue.
From here you can start out drawing some images which you think is related either to the recipient or to the upcoming occasion that prompted you to make a card.
Then think of appropriate wordings before you write them down on your card.
Wordings can be written in front of the card or after opening the cover.
You probably think why I did not say that you should do it in a special type of paper like card board or textured types.
I intentionally skipped that because as early as this stage and for newbie out there, it is advisable that you start card making in a mock up form first.
A mock up is actually a sample of your card but without using the actual materials.
You would not want your precious papers and embellishments go to waste if ever you feel like your work is not yet that good.
That is actually the downside of the traditional card making.
You cannot easily revise the process and if you managed to do it, the outcome will not be polished and will just leave you a feeling of disappointment.
Therefore, a mock up card is the best thing to do before you cut and paste your materials to finish a personalized card.
If you are the type of person who often change minds and decisions, you might as well remember the word mock up before you plunge in the art of card making.
It will not only save your money but most of all your efforts and energy.
