A hobby in its own right, the practice of making your own greeting cards is a lot more fun with the right tools:
Cardstock: The basic material of any greeting card, cardstock paper is a bit thicker and heavier than regular paper, lending itself nicely to notecards and greetings of all sorts.
Scissors: Craft scissors are a must in any crafting arsenal, and will help you create interesting and unique designs on your cards.
Crafting mat: Crafting mats—also known as cutting mats—serve as a buffer in between your table and sharp objects. Many come with helpful measurements and line aids for the perfectly manicured greeting card.
Stamps: Add personality and flair to your greeting cards with ink stamps in multiple whimsical designs.
Coloring supplies: Markers, watercolor sets, and colored pencils all help you add color and life to your greeting cards.
Washi tape: This durable and paper-backed decorative tape from Japan is a modern must-have for creating a range of greeting cards. Washi tape affixes photos and paper, decorates pages, or serves as borders with unique designs.
