5 REASONS TO MAKE CARDS:

It can benefit your health. It’s a stress reliever and is sometimes used as therapy. As with reading, it helps with insomnia. And in some cases, it’s helped with restless leg syndrome.

It can benefit your wallet. A family purchases an average of 30 cards per year. If an average cost of a greeting card is $2 - $4, then that’s $60-$120 a year (or if you’re like me and love shoes, that's about 2-3 pairs).

It makes people happy and you can express your feelings in your unique design and message. Personalized cards tell people you appreciate them and shows you have put in the time and effort. Custom made cards are treasured mementos and are usually kept for quite some time.

Since kids benefit from crafting, sharing your skills of card making to your kids helps keep the tradition of card crafting alive, so keep the tradition going.

And in a small way, if you recycle greeting cards, it can help the environment. Everybody is getting on the “green” bandwagon and even recycling just one greeting card and in turn, making trash to treasure, will help in making the world a greener planet.
