I buy ready folded cards with envelopes from a craft shop, as I am just too lazy to fold my own neatly.
You can stick all sorts of things to the front and arrange them however you want for the individual recipient.
In the past I have;
done small watercolour paintings on cards
stuck down photographs
cut out stamped and then painted images and layered them up for a 3D effect,
stuck on modelled 3d items made out of oven dried modelling clay
stuck on twigs, leaves, buttons,scraps of fabric and hand made paper.
A friend of mine makes lovely cards by mounting up her 6 year old son’s artwork.
This is a flexible and inexpensive sort of small scale art, if it didn’t work well, just do something else next time.
Enjoy

How I did it
How I did it: I went for a week several years ago, as the field trip for part of my master's degree in Heritage Studies. We were visiting primarily to look at how the museums had been set up. It wasn't particularly expensive, to fly there or stay there and there are usually inexpensive deals on the internet. Go with friends, if possible! Read how I did it…
