How to Make a Musical or Voice Recording Greeting Card
While the advent of electronic cards is on the rise, some prefer sticking to tradition by communicating a salutation with good old-fashioned card stock and ink. If you are the type that prefers the best of both worlds, or you know someone who does, consider a fusion of the two, and include a recorded spoken or musical message with your card.

Decide how you'd like the module to be activated. There are a few styles to choose from. The slide tongue module activates the recording when the recipient opens the card. For a push-button voice activation module, the recipient pushes a button to activate and deactivate the recording. A light sensor voice module works when it's removed from its package.

Purchase the appropriate voice recording module for your project. You can purchase recording modules at your local electronics and craft stores. If you'd like to buy in bulk, consider purchasing them online for a better deal.

Record your message, whether it be spoken or musical, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Some devices will allow you to record as many times as you wish, while other devices will only allow for one-time recording. If this is the case, rehearse your message prior to recording it on the module.

5
Attach the recording module to the card. Most modules are self-adhesive; for those that aren't, use tape to adhere the device. Since all modules are different, carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions for mounting the module onto the card.
