Make Your Own Birthday Cards

I need ideas on making my own greeting cards (birthday cards, holiday cards etc.) I want to also use my own art on the cards. What is an easy and cheap way to make greeting cards? What type of materials etc. And also, do you have any ideas for Valentine's day cards? Thank you in advance!

Not long ago I signed up for a Hallmark Crown card and I subscribed to Current's catalog. Both of these card companies send me catalogs all year round and I get tons of great ideas from them! Even the trip to your local card shop, Target or Walmart aisle will lead you to hundreds of ideas. Sometimes I spot a word or a phrase that kick off an idea for example "How do I love you? Let me count the ways..." I thought of using a monkey on the front, then on the inside it would read: 1 banana, 2 banana, 3 banana, 4 and so on... Greeting cards are wonderful being that they are so catchy and creative. You can really have fun! I am working on a post for my website [erikhomemade.typepad.com] (it's almost done except for the photos) where we used an origami elephant stuck to the front. On the inside it says: Don't forget! But you could say: See, I remembered, or something...
For more ideas, try Hallmark.com or Current.com For my cards and the cards we will be using for the website Card of the Month, I like to use cardstock or ready made cardstock cards. Nothing is worse than a flimsy card...even though it's the thought that counts, it is also a reflection on you and often people like to save handmade cards. As far as materials go, the sky is the limit! I am in a mood for recycled materials-old newspaper, wrapping paper, etc. People really like to see what you can make from very little or nothing.
Look around! Good Luck Happy Girl, and HAVE FUN!

Where can you buy just plain cards to put your own picture in? I just want to do something different than the normal 1st b'day girl theme this time?? Thanks.

This is what I did for my daughter's 1st b-day. I staged a cute picture of her. She had on her cute birthday dress and balloons, streamers, horns, confetti surrounded her...oh and she had on a party hat and was trying to blow the party horn. Then I printed the invitation on Pink card stock. --take a full sheet (8 1/2 x 11) , print the invitation on half of the sheet and fold it over. -- On the front of the pink card I attached the cute photo. Everyone loved it! My guest were able to take the picture off the invitation and have it as a keepsake!
