Q&A for How to Make Handmade Greeting Cards

You can draw guidelines to keep your writing neat and consistent. Start by lightly marking your guidelines on the paper to ensure straight and uniform letter sizes. If you're using a transparent paper, use a lightbox to display your guidelines through the paper and start tracing, and if you’re working with darker paper, try to use a white colored pencil or something similar to draw your guidelines, which can be easily erased after tracing.

You don't have to. You can also write your messages on another piece of paper and put it inside the card, or cut messages in the form of shapes and stick them on your actual card. You can give it a pop-up effect too.

Search online for handmade greeting cards. You should be able to find lots of them this way.

Try putting pictures of your classmates along with the teacher on the card. The more you give it a DIY look, the more it will be appreciated by your teacher.

Use the biggest piece of paper you can find, fold it in half, write a message on the front and sign your name on the inside.

You could either write the quote of your choice with the writing utensil and font of your choice directly onto the card, or you could print the quote with the font you want from a document like Word, cut it out, and paste it onto the card.

You can find some online. You just search "different types of fonts" and you will find many. Modern calligraphy is a really cool font for greeting cards.
