Cardmaking

Cardmaking is the process of using drawings and/or text on cardboard to communicate a message.

A card may be used to send a message of congratulations, condolences, wishes, and many other types of messages.

The kind of card determines the meaning that is communicated by the card. 

TYPES OF CARDS AND USES 

There are a few distinct varieties of cards. These greeting cards are used for a variety of events, including the following:

Greeting cards that are presented to the recipient on significant events such as a birthday, Christmas, or Sallah. These cards are presented as a way to convey gratitude, admiration, or any variety of other emotions.

Invitation cards

Invitation cards are sent to friends, family members, and well-wishers to invite them to significant events such as weddings, birthday parties, funerals, political rallies, and religious gatherings.
