There’s something special about a handmade card. When I receive one I feel loved that someone took the time to handmade a card for ME! I always save a handmade card because it’s a one-of-a-kind treasure.

When we were designing the Hey! Hello! line I asked my readers what craft they use scrapbook paper for most and the overwhelming response was CARDS!

Special Card Making Paper

Hey! Hello! has special papers that were developed to make card making a SNAP! Each 12x 12 paper has a theme — friendship, get well/sympathy/birthdays.

Each Paper is Divided Into Easy-to-Use Pieces

Each of the special papers have different sized sayings and graphics for that occasion — friendship/get well/sympathy/birthdays. There are tags that are easy to cut out and use. 3×4 sayings that you can cut out as the main part of a bigger card. Banners that you can layer on cards. And 2×2’s that have sayings and graphics and are great for large cards for layering and as main embellishments for small cards. Plus this paper, sticker and embellishments are all found in the Project Pad which is also at JoAnn Stores!
