Who doesn’t love getting a greeting card? Lately, I’ve been getting crafty and decided to make DIY greeting cards for people I care about.
I never considered it before, but since having to stay home because of Covid-19, I haven’t been going to the store as much. I love getting creative but don’t enjoy shopping for craft supplies anymore so I shop online. I also thought making DIY Greeting Cards would be time-consuming and difficult.
But making DIY Greeting Cards is quite easy if you use cardstock. I have terrible handwriting so puffy sticky letters help too. Here is an easy DIY Greeting Card tutorial.
Instead of using paint to color sticks, use OOLY Brush Markers.
Folding the flowers is easy. Think of when you made fortune tellers when you were a kid.
