Greeting cards convey thoughts, a way of showing care and thoughtfulness, a powerful tool for communicating thoughts and emotions. It makes the recipient feel special, makes a celebration more memorable. It's a wonderful way of expression from celebration to empathy, from cheering to encouraging words. A greeting card is more than a piece of paper, it's a powerful tool for making a person's day, lifting up their mood, and helping them to keep going.
Greeting cards with illustrations started around the 15th century - that's right, they've been around for hundreds of years and will be around for many years to come. Greeting cards can be hung on the wall or window using adhesive putty to display them. You can also use a puncher to punch a hole and tie them to a string to make a bunting/banner. They can be cut and made into bookmarks or cut, laminated and glued to a corkboard to make coasters. Another idea is to cut out sections to make gift tags or glued around a flat round board to make a wreath/plaque.
