This tutorial will show you how to make a nice card just like the ones found in the stores. Making your own cards with pictures and custom sayings can bring a sentimental touch that store bought cards do not have. This tutorial focuses on Mother's Day but the concept is the same in making cards for Father's Day, birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, sympathy, get well, Christmas, weddings , thank yous, and many other occasions.

This tutorial will use Card Stock 1/2 Fold Blank Greeting Cards that are 8 1/2 x 11 Inches. (5.5 x 8.5 half fold)

I was able to get these cards from a local office supply store for under $1 a card with envelope.

You can use different size 1/2 fold cards as long as the page settings are set to the size of your card.
