How to Make a Greeting Card
A lot of people overlook the importance of a greeting card when they are purchasing gifts for friends or loved ones. I want to demonstrate how the greeting card can be a particularly significant part of a present. In some cases, the greeting card can become the actual gift. A craft artist can make many different types of cards because there are so many styles to create.
Paper bag cards are the best, and I just love them. There is just so much that can be done with this simple item. Since paper bags are inexpensive, a craft artist can literally make a masterpiece for just pennies on the dollar. Paper Bags are also handy and versatile in that tags and letters can be stored in the open end of the bag. In previous projects, I have decorated my paper bag cards with lace, paper flowers, fancy buttons, and ribbon. They have always been a big hit with my friends and family. I often give my paper bag cards away as gifts.

How to do Crafts and Make a Greeting Card Template
I recently made a double card that has an outer card and an inner card. It was very easy to make and it is a great alternative to pop cards. All you need for this project is card stock paper, scrapbook paper, seam binding, and your choice of embellishments.
Seam binding was used to hold the card together with a bow. To make sure the bow does not work itself part, I stitched a button straight through the bow to secure this item. I tied the string off and put a little bit of tacky glue on the knot. In addition, I also dabbed a little bit of tacky glue on the edges of the seam binding. This will keep it from coming apart in the future.
This greeting card template can be used in so many ways. The design can be used for birthday wishes cards, personalized cards, Mother's day cards, and Christmas cards.
Happy Crafting and God bless, Chan

| I added paper roses to the front of the card. |

| A friend gave me this stamp. I thought it worked very well in this card. |

| Here is the bow that holds the card together. This is also secured with a button that I threaded thru the bow. |

Card Ideas to Make Fancy Paper Bag Cards
I wanted to share this with you today. You can make your own fancy paper bag cards. This is one of the least expensive card making ideas. I purchased a bag of 50 paper bags for $1.83. That works out to 4 cent per bag. Then add on your scrapbook paper and embellishments and you can make this for under $2.00. That's cheaper than a store brought card! Plus you can personalize it and custom make it for that special person.
This is one of my favorite card creations because I just love paper bags. This can be used for all kinds of paper crafting ideas. You can also make your own birthday card and make your own thank you cards. This would be a great idea for a sympathy and a get well card as well. You can also add tags or letters and store them in the open end of the paper bag. If you are looking for card ideas to make, consider the paper bag. It's cheap, practical, and very versatile as well. Since I am making this for someone, I also made a matching set because I made a pink lace doll to match the bag.
Supplies List
Paper bag 12 3/8 x 6 1/8 x 4
Turbo Tacky glue
1 Cotton Swab
4 pieces of Scrapbook paper 6 x 6
Coordination Seam binding
3 pieces at 6 inches
3 pieces at 10 inches
1 butter knife, a plastic one will do
Tape glider to put on scrapbook paper on paper bag
Your choice of embellishments like paper roses, lace, buttons, etc
Hot glue gun to put on your embellishments

Make crafts from the designs from greeting cards. All you need is greeting cards of your choice, craft paper, ribbon, decorative beads paint, and craft glue. Here, I got my color scheme from the stripped decorative craft paper I had. The colors were orange, pink, green, yellow, and white.
