Handmade cards have great appeal because of all of the wonderful, unique embellishments. Handmade cards are not cheap or tacky versions of store bought card, and handmade certainly does not mean a "less than" or poor quality!
Handmade artists handcraft them from quality card stock and pretty trimmings such as sequins, felt, glitter, ribbon, beads, and decorative paper and/or fabric. Each one is meticulously embellished by hand to make them truly unique.
Many artisans who specialize in handcrafting quality handmade cards take their art very seriously, even attending workshops, classes and subscribing to handmade card magazines. They often work hard and spend a lot of time and care creating just the right one of a kind look for a card. Some artisans even go as far as to hand draw or paint original works of art on their cards.
I invite you to step into the world of handmade cards where handmade artisans use their ingenuity, creativity and resourcefulness to create cards that range from sophisticated and elegant to fun and humorous. There are always lots to choose from, so selecting the perfect handmade card is easy.
Personally, I always prefer giving a beautiful, original handmade card over a mass produced, clichd store bought, one. Giving a quality handmade card to your loved one is more personal and shows that you think they are extra special. A handmade card always stands out from a mass produced one and it always leaves a lasting memorable impression of how much you care.
