I know you have heard about scrape booking well try scrap carding. Using some material that you make have around the house like an gift bag, old flowers, cloth, a shoebox, colors maker, even a pizza cutter. Place all your material together to see what matches your idea or something that you know the person you are making the card likes. Do not clue anything permanently until you have the card like you want it. First you want to write down all the encouraging words, and/or expression you want to use(if you can't think of anything who want to say look at some old cards and cut out the words and use some old books, magazine, newspaper) this will add some different texture of print on your card. The more work you put in this card the better you feel when you deliver it to that person. The shoebox can be used to actually make the card so you can attach your work on it. Use the different types of cloth to cut out designs like hearts, flowers, trees etc. The pizza cutter can cut a window in the card or an design on the edge of a card. Old flower can be torn apart and put in a design, shape or use to decorate the outside of a card. This is just some of the ways you can save, money but express the way your feel.
