I thought this paper would make a beautiful handmade greeting card and used Martha Stewart's Cherish, Punch Around the Page craft punch to create the decorative shape that holds the vellum sentiment.

If you don't have a lot of tools, you can create homemade greeting cards with a blank card, colored paper and an interesting sticker.

For this Christmas card, I created two different sized squares and placed a colorful dimensional sticker on it.

I added a small piece of ribbon on the sides and printed the sentiment from my laser printer.

You can create baby announcement cards like this one I made for a girl.
