Is it generally cheaper to make your own cards than buy them ??

[nutcracker]

Am wondering wether to make relatives birthday and xmas cards to save some money as I always spend a fortune on their xmas cards which is silly cos i can't afford it but love to get them nice cards.

I know there is an inital outlay of stuff i'd need but then in the long run does it work out cheaper ??

I would say its cheaper.
Shop around and you can get some nice cards stock, a couple of stamps and away you go.

After the initial outlay, yeah, I'd say it's much cheaper.

I keep it simple as well. I rely on rubber stamps a lot for greetings and get them cheaply on Ebay.

I also like to personlise them w/photos and printed messages inside.
