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.

You might think making a handmade card is too time consuming. But the fact is that you can make a batch of handmade cards in less than an hour.

The Hey! Hello! was Developed to Make Handmade Cards Easy to Create

Friend sentiment paper has special sentiments that make card making easier.

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

Birthday sentiment paper has 3x4 and 2x2 sentiments plus banners and tags to make card making so easy.

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!

Cards in Three Easy Steps

Sentiment papers have different sized sentiments , banners and tags that make creating cards super easy and fast.

You can make a card in three easy steps. Start with a card base. Then cut out a 3×4 or 2×2 sentiment and add an embellishment. In a couple of minutes you have a thoughtful handmade card to send out!
