One of the best ways to show someone that you love them is to give them a thinking of you card. An even better way to show your love is to write the thinking of you card yourself. By using your own words or thoughts and feelings, you are more able to show your true feelings rather than purchasing a store bought card written by someone else. Although it’s always the thought that counts, it really counts when you use your own creative thoughts to interpret them into a card specifically created for someone you care about. Once you see your loved ones eyes light up you will understand the true effects of writing your own card.

Writing a thinking of you card is a simple yet utterly satisfying and rewarding act of kindness. Not only does it show your care for someone you love, but it proves that you actually took the time out of your day to sit down and write something specifically for that designated person. Instead of going out and spending money and a few seconds on picking a card that someone else has written, why not spend a few “free” minutes coming up with a simple yet rewarding thinking of you card that really expresses how you feel?

So, what if you do not exactly know how to write, or rather, you just don’t have very good writing skills? That’s no problem, because if you know how you feel about the person who is to be receiving the thinking of you card, you should have no problem writing those feelings down with the knowledge that it does not have to be perfect or even grammatically correct. As long as you get your point across, you know you have succeeded. Just think back to when you were a small child. Didn’t you ever have to write a get well or thank you card in school for your friend or perhaps your parents? Well, if you can write a card at such a young age and have it bring such positive effects, imagine the effects your thinking of you card will hold now that you are older.

The entire process of creating a thinking of you card or any card for that matter is utterly simple and may even be fun for individuals interested in writing or perhaps arts and crafts. The first thing that must be done is the acquiring of the tools that will be needed. Most of these tools may already be found around your household. These items will include a piece of paper, which will serve as the actual card, some markers or coloring pens to decorate the card, and any other stickers or decorations which will add to the appearance of your thinking of you gift card.

Once you have gathered your card making tools, you are now ready to get to the creation process. First, simply fold the piece of paper in half, vertically or horizontally, which ever best fits your idea of the card. Then, set the folded card aside so you can begin the writing process.

When writing your thinking of you card, it may be beneficial to use a scratch piece of paper first before actually writing onto the card. This will allow you plenty of rough drafting before creating the finished piece. Once you have come up with the perfect thing to say to that special someone, you may then transfer your writing onto the actual card. Once the transferring is complete, you are now ready to decorate the card. This is perhaps the most fun part because you get to use and show off your creativity. Adding stickers or small designs by pen or marker are suitable choices for decorating your thinking of you card, but remember, you’re creating it, so anything goes!
