Everyone loves accepting a handmade greeting card on a special occasion, from children to adults. These are easy to make and convey a gesture of love and care. While looking to learn to make paper crafts for beginners, you should try making greeting cards.

You’ll need a cutting mat, card stock, and craft knife for a simple greeting card. You’ll also need some decorative items, pencils, and a blunt piece of metal for scoring.

Here is how you can make greeting cards while looking to learn to make paper crafts for beginners.

• Grab your cardstock, ruler, and a blunt piece of metal. Keep your ruler in the middle of the cardstock and grab your blunt piece of metal. Drag it down the centre line to create an indentation. Fold your card across this line to achieve a neater fold. 
• Now it’s time to decorate your card. Since it’s your first time, I will suggest you use decorative items like pieces of glass, ribbons, or buttons. If you are making a birthday card, you can draw a bunch of balloons on the front of the card. Attach a ribbon to the end to make your card look fancy.
• You can also use textured paper to make your card look a little unique. Using gold or silver paint would also give your greeting card a creative and aesthetic touch.
• Once you’re done with decorations, you can add text to the front and inside of the card. Adding a personalized message leaves a more lasting impression on your recipient. You can use swirly text to make your greeting card look fancier. 
• When you’re happy with the text on your card, fold it and put it in an envelope. 

You have made a creative yet straightforward card for your loved ones.
