DID YOU KNOW?
The idea of giving cards to express sentiments dates back to the ancient Chinese as well as the early Egyptians? These card making ideas originated in order to send messages of good will in the new year or greetings sent by a messenger. The ancient Egyptians would write messages on papyrus scrolls. Europeans got on board around the fifteenth century, with Germans using thin pieces of wood to express greetings. Though using papyrus and woodcuts aren't quite as popular in modern times, the idea is the same. We use greeting cards to send our thoughts for holidays, personal important events, sympathy, and "just because." Now we can make a card from scratch using paper, stamps, and embellishments. We can also simply press "print" and get free printable cards. Few things warm a heart more than receiving a thoughtful card in the mail. Sure, times have changed, but card making has been a part of human culture for longer than most of us realize.
