  The most personal and special greeting you can send somebody is one that you make yourself - and it will take you just an afternoon or less to accomplish it. Once you see how exquisite handmade cards can be - and that you can create them so quickly - you'll never buy any from a shop again. And with more than 50 projects to choose from, you'll never run out of special ways to express your joy at a birthday, wedding, holiday, and other occasions. While fashioning a card can be as simple as cutting a piece of beautiful paper and inserting another sheet to write on, it can be as elaborate as you like using decorative techniques, such as beading and silk painting. From the envelope to the scripted message, your caring gestures will take little time to produce, but will remain in the hearts of friends and family long after they receive them.
