Make Your Own Postcards

RE: Make Your Own Postcards Post By Meaghan (Guest Post) (09/08/2008) All you have to do is use the picture you want to send, and write on the back of it as if it were a post card. I've done this many times and it always works. It's easy and you don't have to buy any extra materials!

I just ordered more at Paragongifts.com. They are 9.99 for 48. Love showing off my new grandson.

I don't know what I could add, except to say that your idea is simply wonderful. I always prefer giving gifts and cards from the heart. This usually means that I took the time to put a little something together that was made with the recipient in mind (something just for them). This way, My hope is that they will find the gift or thank-you token is just for them, something they can and/or will use and maybe even something they can in turn share with others or keep for a treasure, etc. There is no greater gift than one that keeps on giving after you've given it as intended. One additional note: Please be sure to sign your gifts or tokens, so they will always think of you and your thoughtfulness. May God Bless & Keep You as you travel your life's journey.

If the back side isn't suitable or white you can cut up a bank sheet of paper and glue it there. Hope this helps. Good luck :) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Make Your Own Postcards Post by camo_angels (665) | (03/08/2006) Profile | Contact Cardstock is great, and please consider the photographs (especially of you with friends/family) These will be great keepsakes for YEARS to come. I found some that my Great-grandparents had kept! Not sure of the exact years, but definitely 19th century! It is a memorable inexpensive way to send a lovely note and picture!

As long as the recipients have e:mail addreses, they won't cost you a cent!

While I was going through Chemotherapy, I bought a box of stationary with matching envelopes from Target; did my thank you letter on the computer using WORD, and printed them out. Using WORD, you can specify the size of the paper you are using so it will print correctly. If you don't have the software to do this, maybe a friend can type and print them out for you. Charline, stay positive - you will be on the other side of this soon. Through that trying time in my life, my focus was on God; he gave me the peace I needed at just the right time. God Bless You! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Make Your Own Postcards Post By Michele (Guest Post) (02/18/2006) I made some Valentines post cards for an yahoo exchange I am on. I asked the post office before starting...you can use card stock and make your own. Look on the usps.com site for sizes and weight...I know card stock is heavy enough. I decoupaged different pics and scrapbook paper on mine...then laminated them...yes you can laminate them and send thru the mail..*** Make sure ou add postage AFTER you laminate. That why they can keep your card forever. If you would like to see a pic send me an email ucmelaffn @ aol dot com Report Spam or Abuse RE: Make Your Own Postcards Post by mimi3 (6) | (02/17/2006) Profile | Contact If there is a way to get your mailing address, I would be willing to send you alot of photos of beautiful scenery that my mother took but I did not have the heart to throw out.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Make Your Own Postcards Post By Rita (Guest Post) (02/17/2006) You would need to use card stock paper to print on. Standard size for postcards is 6"x4" but you can go to www.usps.org to find out specifics. Assuming you have access to a computer, I did a search in GOOGLE and found some interesting free printable postcard sites. Some url's I pulled up on Google that you might try include: http://www.creativity-portal.com/printables/postcard.html or http://www.gulf-shores-alabama-cond ... ntals.com/printable-stationary.html. I send "happy mail" to seniors and shut-ins by making my own on my computer, but I use my graphics and pictures of my own and customize mine in a print shop program. I will put a .jpg of a basic template I created that you could use. (I hope I paste this right!!) On the other side, assuming you do not do your own computer graphics, you could write more to your note, or paste a cut-out from a magazine or draw-create something of your own. Best wishes!

I use old Christmas cards this way (also use them as gift tags) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Make Your Own Postcards Post By cakebaby. (Guest Post) (02/17/2006) For Thank You cards after my baby shower I used blank medium sized Index cards and a rubber stamp.I stamped one side with a baby in a buggy and Thank You under it and flipped it over And took a ruler and drew a line about 2/3 of the way in to separate the message side and the address side then I flipped it back over and embellished with marker and colored pencils.

I buy a ream of plain white card stock, run it through my printer to print what I want on it, and then cut it in quarters. I also rubber stamp, stencil, collage or whatever on this same size. This also works nice because the same size, cut in half, fits in small invitation size envelopes for great handmade cards.

Report Spam or Abuse Making Postcards Post by ThriftyFun (3740) | (08/22/2005) Profile | Blog! | Contact I had a hard time finding postcards to buy in bulk for a reasonable price. I decided to make my own. I save bits of old fabric scraps, wallpaper, scrapbook paper, magazine paper or those annoying inserts that drop out of magazines. I use the this leftover material and paste on 4 x 6 index cards, making post cards for entering sweepstakes and sending thank you notes.
