All About DIY Cards

-



Hey Everyone,

Hope you all are doing amazing today. Today we are going to talk about how to make different cards and how we can make it easy for us. Cards are something that we are taught from the very beginning of our educational learning. We, as kids, make cards for our parents, our siblings and even our grandparents when we are small. But that is not the only time you can make a care. Now that you are a teenager or even if you are a grown up, you can make some high quality cards which will have the same emotions attached to it.

So first, let’s talk about what materials could be used to make a card. My favorite is the pastel sheet as it has this amazing texture on it which give your coloring/sketching a simply perfect card for your loved ones.


So the basic paper that you can use is :
  • Pastel sheet. There are a number of varieties in pastel sheets with different grains on them. So you can choose whether you want the ones with more grains to add more texture or otherwise.
  • Card paper. I don’t really know if they still make this, but I remember using this beautiful purple colored card paper, which was also available in different colors. It had these beautiful roses  texture on it.
     
  • Chart paper. To make it all simple. You can use a simple piece of chart paper, and design the card using different colors to make it look super gorgeous.

 The other materials to decorate the card, you can use:
  • Jewel stones
  • Glitter
  • Confetti
  • Printouts of something that you like or the person you are making the card for likes
  • Beans in all colors are also used by many schools as an activity for kids to make cards and frames. So you can use these as well.


Tips:

  1. For starters, make sure that the thickness of your paper is good. The thicker the paper, the better is will maintain its shape.
  2. Don’t use too much water on the card if you are using water colors or are painting. Too much water can make the card get dents which would not give the card the perfect look that you want to give it.
  3. Use sharp scissors to cut the paper so that the ends are perfect. Also, if you like, to give the card a vintage look, you can burn the ends of the card with a match stick or a candle. But since it is fire, be very careful when working with it.


Let me share a few car ideas for you to help you learn how you can use all of the above mentioned materials and make something awesome.
