"Greeting Cards - the silent of expression!" Are you thinking of doing something special for your friends on special occasions? How about making cards for them by yourself? Yes, handmade cards are more sentimental and I'm sure they will appreciate! Express yourself with nice words and phrases on the cards! Let's start with a simple and easy handmade greeting card for someone close to you. Here, I choose the rubber stamp with the wording "FRIENDS - it can happen in a day, and last a life time". I find the phrase is very meaningful especially to someone you like very much. Using
embossing technique
to enhance the picture, with the nice wording plus the color of the stockcard papers are so vibrant, it makes the whole card looks very nice and sentimental. Let's get hands on this project now and enjoy the making of the card!
