My good bloggy friend Heather from High Heels and Scuffed Sneakers is sharing a simple way to save money each year. By making your own greeting cards! How fun is that?!

Hi! Im Heather and I just wanted to share a quick money saving tip that we can all use. Each year the average household purchases 30 greeting cards and helps support a 7 billion dollar industry. I’ve often found myself stuck in the greeting card aisle searching for the “perfect card” and paying $5 a card to show the card recipient how much I care.

I realized that the best way to show someone you care is by telling them and guess what?!? I can tell my loved ones how I feel with a blank heartfelt note all while saving myself quite a bit of money! (HOORAY!)
I purchased 50 double-sided cards (envelopes included) at Hobby Lobby for $6 (that’s .12 a card friends!) and found some supplies at the house (free!) to create a simple handmade cards for my loved ones.
Aren’t they sweet? I’m not a natural photographer but I think you can see the precious details!
I am now ready to celebrate upcoming festivities with a sweet card that cost me a fraction of the price!
What do you think?

Heather, great advice! I love your cards. So much prettier than the ones that cost $3.50 (or more!) at the store. Another idea is to buy an old art book from a used book store and cut out your favorite paintings. Mount individual prints on complementing scrapbooking paper on the front of the card, and the decription of the painting on the back of the card. When I'm in the mood I'll make a couple dozen of these at one time…even a set of 8 can be a good (and affordable!) gift!

Yes making greeting cards on its own can really save a lot for you. I also design mine with the card making software Greeting Card Studio. It offers a large number of templates for easy card making which can be printed as well.
