• heavy card stock or prefolded half-fold greeting cards
• computer with a graphics program (i.e. Print Master)

* Tip: you can laminate several fronts and trim the sheet.

Directions:

Carefully cut the front off of the greeting card. Laminate it and trim away excess laminate plastic. Using a computer print a verse or saying on the inside of the blank card. Use your imagination. It gives a semi-professional look to your card! Then glue the laminated card front onto your new card.
