Perhaps my of love hand crafted cards started in grade school. I certainly remember putting every ounce of artistic talent I could muster into the handmade Valentines cards we made for our moms in the 2nd grade. Sure they were off center, crooked, glue oozed out of the heart's edges and the glitter fell off but my Mom didn't seem to mind a bit. In fact, she treated that card like it was made of gold, put it on her dresser for weeks, then stashed in her scrapbook. Of course that love of handmade cards grew over the years and when my son brought one home from school for me, well, you understand.
Fast forward to the new millennium and hand crafted cards are more than simple school projects. They are hugely popular and are one of our best selling crafts at http://www.handmadecatalog.com/.
Thanks to online shopping you can find a handmade card for every occasion that comes up and nothing says "I love you" or "I miss you" louder than a handmade card. Pair it with a gift and sometimes the card will outshine the present. Trust me, no one ever tosses them out either.
