Here are 5 homemade greeting card ideas with matching envelopes. Just choose the homemade greeting card that enchants you most, then click on the link for step-by-step instructions and pictures.

#1. Glitter Ribbon Homemade Greeting Cards

Homemade greeting cards too often lack the pizzazz of store-bought ones. But by enfolding your homemade cards with glitter ribbons you can make it seem as if the greetings are locked diaries with hidden secrets. You can even create glitter ribbon letters for a personalized message on your homemade greeting card front. Here are the pictures and instructions for making glitter ribbon homemade-greeting-cards.

#2. Easy-to-Make Glitter Hand Lettering

You can turn a photograph or a print into a greeting card by folding it in half, then adding glittering letters that spell a personalized greeting. Here's a simple technique for making glitter lettering for decorating your homemade greeting cards. Though I used the technique to spell "Happy New Year", you can spell anything you like for any occasion. Here are the pictures and instructions for making glitter hand lettering.

#3. Gift Wrapping Homemade Greeting Cards

By gluing canvas to wrapping paper, you can create stunning homemade greeting cards. Here I've created festive Christmas cards, but you can make gift wrapping homemade greeting cards for any occasion. You can even match the greeting card to the wrapping of your gift. Best of all, this article will also show you how to make matching envelopes. Here are the pictures and instructions for making gift-wrapping homemade-greeting-cards.

#4. Create Cloth Homemade Greeting Cards

Using cloth, you can create homemade greeting cards with three-dimensional flowers-like giving someone a bouquet rather than a greeting. It's a truly elegant homemade greeting card and it's fun to make. See the pictures and instructions for making cloth-homemade-greeting-cards.

#5. Make Homemade Greeting Cards from Old Calendar Prints

Old calendars are ideal for making homemade greeting cards. The size of each page is perfect, and all you have to do is fold the page in half to create a greeting card. Then, by gluing canvas or watercolor paper on the back (where the grid of dates appears), the inside of the card can be made to look equally beautiful. Here are the pictures and instructions for making homemade greeting-cards from old calendar prints.

#6. Easy to Make Homemade Greeting Card Envelopes

By folding gift wrapping paper around your homemade greeting cards you can craft beautiful envelopes. It's a simple process that works for all cards and all occasions. Here are the pictures and instructions for making homemade greeting-card envelopes.
