Handmade Greeting Card Ideas

If you love making your own cards or you want to learn how to make them, you’re really going to like these handmade greeting card ideas that I’m featuring this week!

I’m the worst at picking out greeting cards in a store! It’s not only overwhelming, but I seem to have a hard time finding just the right one.

If you have the same problem, the 4 featured cards should give you some inspiration for your own card making. You’ll find a variety of ideas for making cards, such as, from a craft kit, using scrapbook stamps and dies, and even how to upcycle a card.

This post was originally part of the Home Matters Link Party. At the very end of this post you’ll find many more links to see recipes, home decor, crafts, and DIY projects.
