Thank you. I have not made nor sent a card since this pandemic began. But a few weeks ago I decided to pull out all of my card kits that I have not worked on. Now I’m accumulating cards and this morning I was sitting here looking at them and wondering what I could say in side. Then I came across this video and memories galore begins to rush my brain. Thank you very much for sharing your talents.

How nice of you to share your ideas on inside card messages. While I often use stamped sentiments, there are those special people in my life to whom I want to write a more personal message. Thank you!

I just made several autumn cards that I intend to send this week. Your video came at a perfect time. I’m a widow and of course I’m alone in these Covid times. I was missing my friends so made a stack of cards. Now I can write “remember when ..... missing you so much “. Thank you

Beth Jackson: Making cards and sending them has been so rewarding for me. I’ve felt more connected and happy even though I may only get a text back or no reply at all. I feel uplifted by the creativity and the goodwill gesture. It’s been interesting how I’ve thought less about my situation and more about ‘who else can I write to” I want to start making my Christmas cards now.

Thanks for this great topic, Kristina! I word-process the messages in my cards, so they can be specific, especially for ones I make for the church’s card team. It’s easy to set up a template to fit various card sizes. Personal messages are really important to people. I like your idea of including a memory! 💌

Such great tips, Kristina! Personalizing the message makes it much for meaningful for the recipient. Love your examples! A few years ago a friend of mine who sends tons of cards told me she always writes her message on a practice sheet, just as you suggessted, so I started doing the same and it definitely helps me be more succinct and conversational in my messages. Also looking forward to your watercoloring class!

Great video Kristina! Those of us making cards KNOW that social media machines will NEVER compete with handmade, personal cards and adding sentimental, very personal words makes it clear how you really care about the recipient. Thanks for great tips for those days when just the right words don’t come as easy. You are appreciated!

Great video! I always write my message first so I can edit. I also often write my message on a separate piece of paper and then glue it in the inside of the card. That way if I make a mistake, I just get a new piece of paper not a whole new card.

We’ve been using our “stamp therapy” to enjoy making cards, but then sending them to Bring Smiles to Seniors so they can get passed on to seniors in nursing homes. We don’t have a personal memory to share with them, but can still be uplifting and encouraging. I like to ask them about “their favorite vacation” or “favorite fishing trip” ... something to prompt them to recall a memory that makes them happy. :) Thanks for your tips!
