To help save money, we've found to helps to make your own greeting cards. There are many ways to do this. Envelopes can be purchased at Staples for about $15 for 100. A pack of 500 sheets of card stock in white from Wal-Mart runs about $4.00.
Cards can be printed from your ink jet printer, decorated with magic markers and magazine cut-outs. Rubber stamping is a popular craft. Fancy scissors can be purchased from the Dollar Tree for $1.00 each. Once you have gathered supplies you can make cards for pennies on the dollar. Some rubber stamps can also be purchased there for $1.00 each.
Another potential source of rubber stamps is Freecycle. Visit Freecycle.Org to find a group near you. People will post to this list when they have something they no longer use and want to keep from a landfill. It's ok to post if you are looking for something. Someone on the list might have it and respond.
Make your own greeting cards. It's a great way to save money. Plus, the recipient is happier knowing the card was made with love. That's an unbeatable combination.
