Creating Handmade Birthday Cards
I really like creating hand made birthday celebration cards and have been doing so now for close to 20 years. I find it incredibly fulfilling, relaxing and rewarding to create my very own greeting cards. It is a great method to chill out, to take a seat with all of my papercrafts things spread out before me and to really allow the creative juices to flow!
A hand-made greeting card may be as complex or as simple as you require it to be. An easy style can be quite attractive and exceedingly effective. Uncomplicated layouts are perfect for newcomers to card making to start out with. Try mounting a die-cut decoupage graphic on top of a blank card accompanied by a peel off sticker sentiment to finish the greeting card, a quick enough design to create without a lot of equipment called for, however rather good-looking and impressive.
Once you have perfected simple designs, you could try developing those designs. Add an extra decoration such as a ribbon or a ready to use card topper. Begin including background papers to part or all of the card blank and incorporate glittery or pearlised highlights with decorative glues. Instead of a decoupage graphic, try rubber stamping an image on to some card, color the rubber stamped image with pencils or watercolour paints, cut close to the stamped picture in a rectangular shape or square shape and after that stick that rubber stamped image onto your card blank. Your ideas will very quickly come to be bigger, better and more intricate designs. Using a little effort it is possible to develop many very impressive designs.
Once you begin to make a Birthday card, one thing you’ll want to think about is what person the card will be for. Will it be for a teenager or an adult, is it for a woman or for a man, exactly what are their passions and hobbies?. It is usually good to incorporate a little something personalized in to the birthday card. If the card is for a golf player, a golfing graphic, with golfing embellishments would create a superb birthday card and will suggest that a quite a bit of deliberation has gone into the card.
After you have selected your theme for your card, you should determine your colour scheme. A colour scheme for a card could be led from the colours in a decoupage picture or possibly a ready to use embellishment which you have already chosen. Choose a couple of colours from that decoupage image or embellishment and employ those colours with the entire card, colour co-ordinating all ribbons, accessories or backing papers to those two colours. If you work with a rubber stamped picture then it is possible to colour this image with your colour scheme and build on that scheme by means of colour co-ordinated extras.
To really personalise the hand-made birthday card, you can incorporate the person’s name in the theme of the card. This can be accomplished with the aid of peel off sticker lettering, alphabet stamp lettering or if you have a steady hand, you’ll be able to hand write his / her name with a decorative ink or glitter glue.
As a final point printing an insert for your card with a nice personalized message like a poem or lovely message definitely finishes off your handmade birthday cards.
