Coloring Handmade Cards for Every Occasion

Handmade cards hold a special charm that printed ones often can't match, especially when they're colored with love and care. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, coloring cards for different occasions is one way to add a personal touch to your greeting cards. 

So even though I'm not very good at coloring, I truly enjoy adding color to my handmade cards. There's something special about watching a simple design come to life with just a few strokes of color. Even if my shading or blending isn't perfect, the process itself feels relaxing and creative. That’s why I’ve ended up making a lot of cards over time! 

Last year, I turned my Teachers’ Appreciation Cards SVG files into coloring cards because I wanted to use my Ohuhu markers. I enjoyed the process so much that, ever since then, whenever I come across an insert card design, I try to convert it into a coloring card.

Just this month, I blogged about one of my latest projects: a DIY Gnome Birthday Card over at the Printable Cuttable Creatables website. In that post, I shared how I made three different cards using Gnome Birthday Insert Card SVG File.




After finishing that project, I was inspired to download more insert card designs from the Printable Cuttable Creatables website—and I ended up making eight more cards for different occasions!









Coloring handmade cards is not about being perfect, so don’t worry about your skill level—just enjoy the process and let your creativity shine. After all, it's the effort and love behind each stroke that truly makes a card special.
