Card Making

I really enjoyed the card making workshop lead by Seema because it was nice to just sit for an hour making cards, using only our creativity with the materials available. I used to make personalized cards for holidays and thank you cards for teachers back in middle school and freshman and sophomore year in high school, but I haven’t made any cards since. It allowed me to have a creative outlet and to just relax especially during this stressful time with corona and online classes. I was able to make a birthday card for my dad and a birthday card for a friend, and give it to them. I was reminded of the pride and happiness from seeing their smiles after they open the card and seeing not only the message, but also how it was handmade rather than store bought. I will definitely continue to make cards just because it provides a time to take my mind off other ongoing events and the satisfaction after making it.

One thought on “Card Making

  1. It is always sad to reflect on how the frequency of special things like making cards steadily decreases over time as people get older. I also stopped making cards years ago, since it felt almost awkward to do so. However, you’ve reminded me how fun it used to be-I might write a few notes tonight to people who I’ve lost contact with!
