Lovely handmade greetings cards

Silver meets pink with the edding gel roller

This smart-looking card is easy to make and can be used for all sorts of occasions. And since birthday, wedding and anniversary cards are in demand throughout the year, a handmade congratulations card is the perfect solution! A customised greetings card is sure to impress as it stands out from shop-bought cards and their generic best wishes. As well as passing on congratulations, you’ll be expressing your appreciation to your friends and family – it'll give twice the pleasure! And it’s all very easy with edding gel rollers and our hints and tips.

The specially developed and odourless gel ink makes writing with the edding gel roller a real pleasure. It smoothly glides over the paper, while achieving the desired effect of a delightful contrast of light and dark. The pen, which is available in 16 shades, works especially well on dark coloured paper and card and is ready to use straight away.

Step-by-step

Step 1

Cut and fold a piece in the desired size from the light grey and pink card. You can achieve a nice effect if, for instance, the inner card is a little larger than the outer card and protrudes slightly. Draw small circles on the light grey card with the compass and cut them out.

Step 2

Design the front of the card however you like with the gel roller, for instance by writing personal greeting notes around the circle. Finally, affix the masking tape at the edge of the card and embellish it with a personal note such as “For you”.
