More than creating masterpieces out of cardboard and paper, it also carries a dimension of communication and socialization. A card’s design reflects its creator’s personality and his or her attitude to the card’s recipient, and the card as a craft mirrors the dynamics of relationship of the creator and it’s addressee.

There is a sense of fulfillment in making something beautiful from something tangible, especially when the thing is to be offered to a someone special. That is why in today’s height of Information and Communication Age, when almost all people use wireless phones and the Internet to get in touch with one another, card craft remains, with an estimate of more than 7 billion Americans sending and receiving cards every year.

While commercial greetings cards are abundantly sold in the market, a lot of people still prefer making their own cards and writing in it personalized, original messages. Being given with a card is a heartwarming experience itself, and receiving a card that’s designed intricately and artistically doubles that heart’s warmth. These cards, aside from being carriers of personal expression, are also vessels of memories and emotions. Crafting and giving out one is to reach out and make someone feel appreciated and loved.
