Before becoming a consultant, I didn't find any appeal in making cards. I knew that cards were simply thrown away after being read, and I couldn't imagine spending that kind of time on something that wouldn't be kept.
I've since gotten over that issue... I guess I found so much joy in card-making the first time I made my own Christmas cards, and I knew how much the receivers would enjoy seeing my hand-made creation (even if it was soon forgotten or *gasp* thrown away), that I really found it worth it to put in the effort!
Besides, not every card you make will take a lot of time to create. I'm the queen of assembly-line card creations... for example, I'll cut 10 cards out of cardstock, then apply background colors to all, then apply stickers, embellishments and titles to all... and before you know it, I'll have 10 unique, hand-made cards to send! Easy peasy.
Here are some more favorites. These are all posted on the Creative Memories Project Center, a wonderful website where ideas are free for the taking and directions are clear and simple. I love it over there!
