i also dont buy cards. when i was planning my wedding (that didnt happen) 4 years ago i got 6 packages of printer-card card stock. 4 large half fold and 2 smaller quarter fold cards for about $1 each package. my grandma got buy one get one free set of gel pens a few years ago and gave me a set. i spend a few minutes drawing a card. a simple swirly heart for a wedding or valentines. and a heartfelt personal message inside. i am slightly artisitc but anyone can draw an off center heart add some little hearts and swirlies and call it designer. i also like my hole punches and scrapbooking scissors for the edges, (or to punch out a mistake) people love my homemade cards and i havent even opened the 2nd set of boxes of each kind.
oh and with the quarter fold ones i cut them on the crease spot (make 2x as many) and have some large gift tags without envelopes.
