How To Make Angelic Gift Greeting Cards

To make angelic gift greeting cards you will need some blank cards. You could either buy the ones that are all ready in a greeting card form and that are blank - you can find these from any craft shop. Or if you prefer then you could use an A5 size card and fold it into a card shape. You will also need an envelope to fit your card as well as a tiny envelope to put your gift in. Next you will need materials to decorate your card. You could use peel offs, boarders, motifs, materials and fabrics, paints, glue, double sided tape, pictures, stickers, 3D sticky pads, 3D cut outs, foil, wrapping paper, backing paper, clay or dough, coloured beads, felt tip pens, paper and fake flowers, gem stones and crystals, cotton wool, glitter, heat gun, embossing powder, glitter, special pens, ribbon, buttons and any other odds and ends that you find laying around.

Now think of what you would like to create and then put your idea down onto your card. Make each card special and inspirational. Let your imagination run wild. Since we are making angelic cards try finding pictures of angels or fairies. You could print off pictures or find them in books or on wrapping paper, you could even trace a picture and then transfer it to your card and paint it. You could use transfers which you can find in a craft shop. In side your card right in the middle on the right side you could stick the tiny envelope. In the envelope you could add a small gift or special poem or prayer, badges, stickers, money, keep sakes, necklace, flower seeds, bracelet, ring, handmade gift, sweets or even a prayer card. Once you have made your special hand make card then you can give it to someone special as a gift. Below are a few of my own handmade angelic greeting cards. All cards are in 3D and are embossed.
