DIY Greeting Cards
Supplies: finished coloring pages, colorful greeting card sized card stock, and the die cut center at Ben Franklin Crafts and Frames in Redmond.
For the card on the left, simple use a tulip die cut and a die cut machine at Ben Franklin. I used a tulip, but there are literally hundreds of options! Then just glue the shape to the card.
