Materials & Supplies for Greeting Cards

Video Transcript

I am Heather McCanna on behalf of expertvillage.com and today I will be discussing the basics of card making. Specifically what you need to make a card. There are many specialty crafts stores such as Hobby Lobby or Michaels but you can also find many of the supplies that you will need to make a card lying around in your own home. Here I have some storage binds that I purchase very inexpensively at a local store and I usually keep them to organize my card supplies. The first thing that you would need for a card is some sturdy paper. You can use color construction paper which is very festive as well as store bought design paper. Such as this paper that has a nice pattern on it. There is also some paper that you can buy in stacks such as this which has several different designs within the same package. You would also need supplies to decorate your paper with once you completed a card. Here I have many different types of markers, as well as decorative pens these can help you when you are writing message as well as illustrating things on your cards. It is also nice to have some other supplies such as stamps, as well as the ink and paint that you might need, and other professional pens. But these don't have to be expensive items. It could be things that you find around your own home such as your markers that your children might have. Or these inexpensive adhesives such as a glue stick, or basic tape. Double sided tape also works very well for many cards. Here I have some more decorative items such as Popsicles sticks, stickers, and smaller sheets of decorative paper which can be great for cutting out different designs as well as different pictures that you want to decorate your card with.
