cards can be created with the minimal amount of equipment or expertise. Rubber
stamps are ideal for creating special handmade cards. Even a complete beginner
can create lovely handmade card that are bound to be much appreciated. One of
the keys to making a great handmade card is to keep it personal. Regardless of
how technically good a card is - it is the ones with the little extra personal
touch that will always be remembered!
What Makes a Great Handmade
Card?
Handmade cards are special because they are made by hand! Most people are touched
and flattered by the fact that someone has put stamp to paper to create a
special card. The fact that someone has taken time out of a busy schedule to
actually make a card is always appreciated.
So, all handmade cards are special, but what actually makes a handmade card GREAT? There are many answers to this! A great card incorporates a little extra thought. Don't worry if you don't have the latest stamps - or top of the range inks, what really matters is creating a card specially for the recipient.

Keep it Simple!
It is so tempting
to adorn a card with lots of embellishments – however when making a handmade
card, often less is more. A very elegant card can be achieved by placing a
small stamped image onto a card blank and adding a simple message. Adding lots
of extra embellishments will detract from the design of the card.
Add a Border
A simple border
will really 'finish' a handmade card.
It is possible to buy ready cut frames
that can be used to frame stamped or other images. If you are attaching an
image to a card that has been stamped onto paper, adding a frame will
disguise any cut edges. Printable borders are ideal for using with rubber
stamps to make quick Christmas cards
Pick a Great
Greeting
A very simple rubber stamped image and a thoughtful greeting
will create a lovely card. Greetings are a great way to make a card special.
This is also perfect for personalizing cards. The same card can be used and
personalized for different recipients by changing the sentiment or adding a few
special words.
