Giving a Thank You card is always a great gesture, but hand making the card, reveals much more appreciation. As a matter of fact, hand-making any sort of card conveys more thought and compassion than buying a mass-produced card. Of course, we don't always have the time to create what we have in mind. But then again, we may find an occasion to make the exception.
I love the fact that a handmade card is like an artwork. It is one of a kind and there is no replica. Choosing the color, design, and paper gives you the opportunity to express your creativity. The only hard part is doing it. But don't worry about making it fancy or out of this world. Less is always more. You do what you can do. It's the effort that counts! The simplest, most touching card I have ever received was handmade by pure thoughtfulness. That humble card made me feel extra special knowing that someone actually put out the time to make me something.
So, I encourage you to make a card for someone special. The response is most likely rewarding.
Let 'em know how you feel!
