A mother’s love for her child triumphs all the impossibilities, knows no bounds and no rule, defeating everything callously hindering its way. This is an unbound love and dedication of a mother for her children.

Celebrating the mother’s day involves activities of fun and gaiety. You need to stretch your creativity and imagination in order to make this day beautiful, happy and memorable for yourself. The world celebrates this day by throwing parties, giving gifts and sending greeting cards to a special family member. This is a special day dedicated to all the mothers of the world and celebrating the motherhood.          

This day has its origin in ancient Roman and Greek times. The roots can be traced back to United Kingdom. In United Kingdom, Mothering Sunday was celebrated as a religious festival. In Rome, it was held in the honor of the mother goddess Cybele. When Europe and Roman Empire adopted Christian religion, the Mothering Sunday became a part of liturgical calendar and to honor the Virgin Mary. In the history of this day, two pioneering women, Julia Ward Howe and Anna Jarvis made sincere efforts to make this day memorable and dedicate it to celebrating motherhood. On May 8th 1914, the US President Woodrow Wilson signed a Resolution for having a day dedicated to the motherhood. Since that time the people across the globe have celebrated this day with great fun.         

In the present era, the day is made the most memorable one by organizing parties or touring to the places of historical monuments, sending gifts and flowers. Preparing a mother’s greeting card on this Special Day is a wonderful gesture of your love and expression. You can prepare a handmade greeting card that gives a sense of personal touch. A person can choose to play with numerous colors, designs and patterns. You can even draw a picture of your mother caring for you. An online card can be created with pop-ups and interactive animation which brings a smile on your mother’s face. Inviting your mother’s friends for a surprise party and preparing gifts for them is a task of great fun. These are different ideas for making this day momentous.

She Says, “I Need Some Verses To Put In My Own Homemade Greeting Cards!” Father Time Says, “I Have Them For You!”

Well, after many years of being a published writer, and after several years of also writing greeting card verses; mostly love, friendship, romance, and encouragement; I have decided to assemble a great e-book of verses that anyone can use (who purchases the e-book) inside their own homemade cards! The e-book contains over 30 great quotes from famous people, ideal for putting inside your cards, and over 30 great verses from me, which are even better, as your family and friends have probably not seen or heard my verses, unless they spend hours and hours reading greeting cards in the aisles of stores!

Scrapbooking and Cardmaking have become extremely popular in recent years and they are both wonderful activities and whether you do just one or the other as a hobby or even both as a combined project, you are making memories and you are brightening other people’s lives, and I say “Good For You!” These are important things to do for others and you are also spreading good Karma and there isn’t much in life that is more important than that!

Albert Schweitzer once said: “Even if it’s a little thing, do something for those who have need of help, something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it.”

I have a wonderful website where I sell thousands of great items from gifts, toys, jewelry and tarot card decks, to clocks, watches, telescopes, wind chimes and garden decorations. There are so many items that I have had friends and colleagues say that there is too much there! I even have some FREE recipes, FREE quotes from famous people, FREE verses that you can use, and Good Luck Charms, necklaces, and many other cool items!

There is nothing like a great greeting card handed to a person, sent to them in the mail, or left somewhere as a surprise where they will find it! There are no greeting cards better than the ones that YOU make with love and your own creativity! The cards that are handmade are especially nice and they really touch the heart! A good card can really lift someone’s spirits and “make” their whole day!

Sometimes “cardmaking enthusiasts” do not know what to write in these cards or they are at a loss for words, and that’s where I come in! IF this e-Book is as successful as I anticipate that it will be (Thanks, in part, to YOUR word-of-mouth advertising—and NOT violating copyright laws by giving it to others freely) then I may just have other volumes in the future with even more verses that you can use! You are able to use the verses by putting them inside cards that you make for others, and I am not opposed to folks selling limited quantities of the cards that they make, even with my verses, as long as it isn’t a mass-produced for big profits thing.

IF you do make several of one card, maybe you can be a sweetie and send me one copy as a gift! Inside the e-book is my e-mail address which you can use to contact me and get a mailing address where to send any cards. You just might receive a gift from me in return! Plus: Remember…Good Karma!

So, here’s a card verse for you to use right away…

When I first saw you, I never dreamed that we would one day be in love.

When I first spoke to you, I never knew how amazingly awesome you would be.

When I first felt the warmth of your touch, I never imagined that it would one day transport me to a place that transcends space and time.

When I first experienced intimacy with you, I never, ever dreamed or imagined that you would cause me to feel the Earth move.

Not only that, you have moved ME, and you have touched my soul!

 

Whether you are creating custom greeting cards for family and friends, or designing commercial ones for sale, it is always important to make each greeting card design special. I know it sounds cliché but it is true. Nobody wants a boring greeting card. When you print greeting cards, it needs to be eye catching, interesting and if possible unique and memorable. Anything less than this and you might just be throwing away your investment in emotion and in money. To prevent this, we have collected a few of the best ideas you can use when you print greeting cards. These special ideas are the “hallmark” of unique and memorable custom greeting cards that are worth giving to your loved ones, and even selling to potential customers as well.

That personal touch

The most unique and memorable idea in creating a custom greeting card design is to add in that personal touch. This entails actually including a personal message or even a custom image in your custom greeting cards. For example, you can have your own picture integrated in the greeting card design cover. This gives the impression of the attention to detail and customization for the greeting card. It won’t appear as that boring off the shelf card. It becomes a real and personal greeting card with the same impact as a heartfelt letter.

Interactivity

Another great idea is to have an interactive greeting card design. This involves making greeting cards that have some sort of moving component that the receiver can manipulate. For example, you can have a “pop up” custom greeting card design that you can give to children (or fun minded adults). With an appropriate and interesting pop up design, people can have fun with your greeting card making it especially memorable and even collectible.

Musical greeting cards

Music of course has a great effect on people. So why not add it into your greeting card? Musical greeting cards are a nice way of adding the soothing and memorable effects of music to your greeting. If you are good enough, you can even choose a song or melody that has personal meaning to the person you are giving the greeting card to. This maximizes the impact of the music making the greeting card all the more memorable.

Scented greeting cards

Our sense of smell of course is connected to memory. Scented greeting cards are a good way to engage the memories and imagination of your intended receivers. A fresh pine scent can transport people to a nice solemn forest, while a nice flower fragrance can leave them in a sunny glade. The effect of scents burns the memory of your greeting card in your receiver’s senses leaving them with pleasant feelings when they encounter the smell again.

Different shapes

Lastly, a simple but great idea is to just change the shape of your greeting card to something unique. When people think about greeting cards they see the standard size as the only type of greeting card. The best custom greeting cards change their shape so that they look more interesting and have a better impact for their receiver. For example, a “techy” person might appreciate a gadget shaped greeting card, while a basketball star might enjoy a basketball shaped card. People will connect with the design and maybe even have a fun time with it as well.

So those are the common properties of greeting cards that are extra special. If you are creating custom greeting cards or printing commercial color greeting cards, it is a good idea to integrate these design elements into them. You can even mix and match these designs to your liking. Using these concepts will let you create memorable greeting cards that will surely be cherished and loved.
