A handwritten note takes on extra meaning when the card is homemade.
Artist Jeanne Williamson provides ideas for creating your own in “Uncommon Cards: Stationery Made With Recycled Objects, Found Treasures, and a Little Imagination.”
Williamson offers instructions for 52 card designs, many incorporating unusual materials such as a bit of netting from a produce bag or the corrugated sleeve from a carry-out coffee cup.
Some cards are stamped, some are stitched, and all are unlike anything you’ll find in a store.
She even includes card stock to get you started.
“Uncommon Cards” sells for $20 in softcover.
