If you like scrapbooking, then chances are, you will love making a scrapbooking card. While many scrappers will have a slew of supplies on hand to make many cards with, you might need to go shopping for the perfect things to make your special cards. If your cards are for a special occasion, you will want to base your cards on that occasion for the best bet. For instance, if you are making a birthday card to send to someone special, you will want to get birthday themes for your supplies.

You will need to first find the perfect paper for your scrapbooking card. You will find that there are tons of scrapbooking paper that you will have to choose from. When doing a birthday theme, you might want to consider paper with cakes all over it. Maybe candles and cakes, or even party hats. If you are thinking about an over the hill birthday card however, the traditional color for this type of birthday would be black. You could then find black things to embellish the card with, and maybe even make it black and silver to have some contrast.

The next thing you will need to get for your scrapbooking card will be stickers and stamps. Be sure that you look over all that your scrapbooking store has to offer before you make your final selection. Maybe you will find stamps with candles, cakes and even hats as well. Maybe some stickers with noise makers on them will be good too. You will find that you will have no problem matching your theme to your supplies, as most stickers and stamps can be found in most any theme.

Once you get the things above for your scrapbooking card, you will then need to think about embellishments. You are going to find that there will be many things that you can use, like maybe stencils to make special effects, you can also use glitter and buttons as embellishments as well. You are going to find that making a card will be a lot of fun and anyone that receives your card will love it.
