Sometimes we just need to hand make a greeting card on such short notice. One easy way to do just that is to use scrap paper.

Fun fold (nontraditional) greeting cards require more steps to hand make compared to other greeting card styles. However, I shared a couple designs that are not difficult to make but will take time.

It is possible to make many cards from a single paper pad. I used a Recollections paper pad from my local Michaels, but any paper pad with small designs that you can cut out and adhere to a card front could work!
8 - Winter Shaker Cards Using Pattern Paper, Clear Film, and Fillers

Length: 11 min 25 sec
I admit these are not the best-looking handmade greeting cards, but they were a lot of fun to shake when finished! I use a variety of papers, stickers, fillers (e.g., glitter, sequins, flakes, etc.), mounting tape, double-sided tape, and clear packing material to make these cards. The clear packing material was thick and sturdy so it wouldn't break under pressure or during mail transit.

Using a themed paper pad is sometimes an easy way to create multiple handmade greeting cards. I used a Recollections paper pad from my local Michaels, but any paper pad with small designs that you can cut out and adhere to a card front could work!

This video was a continuation to the previous one listed because I enjoyed making greeting cards using a paper pad. I used a Recollections paper pad from my local Michaels, but any paper pad with small designs that you can cut out and adhere to a card front could work!
