For me, I'd rather make my own card, because the one that receives it always seems to be so thrilled that I took the time to make a card just for them.
Happy Birthday Sarah!!
To make a card is something SPECIAL to give someone that shows you care enought to give them something to cherish....
Happy B'day Sarah

Because it's a great way to give something personal and special, when a gift is going overboard, or out of the budget... or just to add to a store bought gift, to make it more special :)
Happy Birthday!
I love the personal touch that a handmade card gives.
Happy birthday month! I just celebrated getting 'older' a few days ago myself!
Why a handmade card? What better way to share a piece of your heart? Handmade says "I care" like nothing else does!
Simple. If I care enough to send a card, I care enough to make it personal and special.

I would rather make a card than buy one because making one comes from the heart. It is a special one of a kind card created for that person who is getting it. If you get a store bought card from me you know I'm not very happy with you!!!! LOL

I like to make cards. It's my hobby. I think they are WAY more beautiful than bought ones. I think it says something very special when you give someone a part of your life. Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday!! I make cards instead of buying them "Because I care enough to send the very best." It is a much more personal touch. bharple@rcn.com
I like to make cards because they are more personal

That's easy! I would rather make a card because the person who receives it knows it was made just for them!
A friend of mine mentioned that he will keep the card I made for him this year. AND he said it was the best birthday present he received (even though there was no money inside! lol)
Happy Birthday, Sarah.

Because a homemade card shows that you care enough about the person to design and create a unique work of the heart just for them.
Happy Birthday Sarah!!

Made from the heart with special emphasis on who the card goes too. Happy Birthday!
Giving a hand made card is like giving a little piece of your heart to the recipient:-)
Thanks for sharing and for the chance to win!

The people I make the cards for enjoy them because of the love and energy I put into each one of them.

The pride and joy of creating and sharing -- there is no better feeling. And have you ever compared what you get when you buy a 99-cent card vs. making one for the same or less price?? No comparison. I'm a July baby too Sara -- Happy Birthday to us both!!!

It's so much more fun to make your own card and make it special for the person you are creating it for.
Happy Birthday!
the people who receive the cards I make enjoy them knowing how much love and energy goes into making them
I would rather make one because I get great pleasure making it special just for the person...Enjoy your birthday no matter how many you have had...each one is special.

I would make a handmade card instead of buying a store card to show the person just how much I care about them. I want them to feel special and that I put my heart into the special card for them.

Happy Birthday Sarah!
Making cards is a way for me to show how much I care about the person receiving it. I hope they realize that, however, even if they don't, it is my passion. A small way for me to share my creativity. Great question!
Because it is heartfelt and because of the joy, smiles and awhhhhhs it brings.
"To love what we do and share what we love, as we help others enjoy creativity and worthwhile accomplishments . . . in this we make a difference."
I prefer to make cards as it shows the recipient how special they are.
I would rather make a card because I have all this stuff and why not use it?
First of all, I enjoy making my cards. And everyone seems to enjoy receiving a card that I've taken the time and trouble (not to mention the expense!) of making. It just seems more personal, I think.
I make a card rather than buy to justify my stamp purchases to my husband. LOL Also to see their face when you have taken the time to make a card just for them.
Happy anniversary of your 21st birthday!!

Since childhood I've had the need & desire to give something I have made to show them how special they are to me. And it makes me feel so darn good! nana_cindy42@hotmail.com
I love to make all my cards because it means so much more to the person that is receiving the card. They seem to cherish them and it makes me feel special.
A homemade card is more special than a store bought card. More personal, it shows you cared enough to give the best and personalize just for them.

I would rather make a card for someone because making it shows the person that you cared enough to spend time to make them some thing special for them. A handmade card also adds a personal touch to the gift that you are giving to the person.
I like to take the time to make something special for someone, something to fit their personality. It's like giving a part of you to someone.
First of all, Happy Birthday Sarah! Hope you have a wonderful day!
For me, I love making my own card because I know that person more than Hallmark,Wal-mart,etc. or anywhere else does. Secondly, store-bought cards are getting more costly and not near as pretty! Thirdly, I think the recipient knows I cared enough to take the time to do it myself. Anyone can go and buy a card but not everyone will sit down and take the time to do it themselves! So, that person will know they are special!
Personal Satisfaction! Plus the fact that I can really never find what I really want in a store card, and then when I do the price is just not worth it. I find that when I give a hand made card my friends tend to hang on to it rather than just throw it away. Two gifts in one!

To share the energy of creativity and art.
Happy Birthday!
I always make my important cards because I know - they won't get a double.
Happy Birthday!!
Happy Birthday Month!
A handmade card is special and shows that you care.
I much prefer making a handmade card, it not only brings enjoyment to me but I think someone receiving it is thrilled also. Happy Birthday!

It makes the recipient feel special knowing the card was made especially for them.
Happy Birthday

I stopped buying cards when I started stamping. I could stand in a store for an hour trying to find the 'perfect' card - and never could. Now I can make the 'perfect' card - and whoever receives it will hopefully appreciate the time and effort!
