TYPES OF CARDS
If you are a lover of art, and have a creative mind like me,
you can turn your creativity into a source of income. There is nothing as good
as being paid to do what you love to do. This is so because being paid for your
creative abilities is the best work anyone can do because you won’t feel bored
doing it, and you will never get tired. More so, money will keep flowing into
your pocket until you say you are done.
Designing and selling Hand Made cards
is one of the creative ways one can earn a descent income. A card could either
be hand made or machine made, but the Hand Made cards have a higher value than
machine made cards. This is influenced by the preference of most people
especially the ladies who are usually the recipients.
A hand
made card is one of the various media through which an artist can express his
creativity. If you visit a supermarket or a bookshop, you will notice beautiful
hand made cards on display with very creative designs expressed on them. This
also confirms why handmade cards are more expensive to buy compared to the
machine printed cards that are cheaper. Some hand made cards can go as high as
N5000 although it depends on the material used in making it, and for whom it is
designed for.
Cards are of various types, shapes and colours. They are
designed for various events and occasions, which determine the wordings and
designs that will be put on them. The various types of cards include the
following.
Birthday cards
Anniversary cards
Greeting cards
Wedding cards
Get well cards
Valentine cards
Thank you cards
