Make Your Own Dog Greeting Cards

Greeting cards in the stores are becoming pricey and generic, so save your wallet while adding a personal touch by making your own! Dog greeting cards are becoming a favorite among proud owners; they are being used as holiday cards, thank you cards, welcome cards, birthday cards, and more. Not only will people appreciate the special cards you give them, but it’s also a fun craft to do. This home project is fairly easy and doesn’t require too much invested time. To begin, have some white card stock on hand – this will be folded in half to make the greeting card base. Pick out a favorite picture of your furry friend and print it out using a color printer. Use scissors to crop the picture accordingly, you may even use zig-zag edged scissors to give the photo a fun twist. Pick out your choice of colored or patterned paper to then glue the cut picture onto – the paper will act as the border for your photo. Cut the paper down to your preferred size of border. Once your dog’s picture has a border you may then securely glue that to the front of your folded card stock to serve as the front of your greeting card. Add decoration to the card with your choice of colored markers, stickers, glitter, and/or ribbon. On the inside of your card write what you wish using the colored markers, or even print your greeting from the computer and glue to the inside. It’s an enjoyable craft that everybody will love!
