After Christmas, I went down to my favourite shop in all of Victoria, The Papery on Fort Street. It is full of beautiful paper items. They have spectacular wrapping paper, journals, date books, notecards, pens, stamps and all sorts of other wonderous paper products. I love paper!
While I was there, I stocked up on all of the cards that I will need throughout the year.
Birthday cards, get well cards, miss you cards, thank you cards and blank cards!
It is always a good idea to keep a stash for unexpected situations - like getting invited to a birthday dinner at the last minute or to send to a friend who's blue. I like going to little specialty shops like The Papery because there is such a great selection of beautiful and unusual cards that you won't find anywhere else.
If you are creative, you can make your own cards. The possibilites are endless - collage cards, photo cards, handpainted cards or hand stamped cards. Scrapbooking websites have tons of inspiration and supplies. Some craft stores even offer classes. Handmade cards are a special gift on their own. The recipient will treasure it because you made it just for them.
