How to Create Keepsakes & Creative Cards

    Picture Frame Keepsake Card

    • 1). Purchase a blank greeting card with a pre-cut picture frame on its front flap from a craft or hobby store. Slide your picture into the slot.

    • 2). Punch holes that are 1 inch apart around the outside edge of the frame on the front half of the card.

    • 3). Thread a ribbon, yarn or lace through the holes and tie in a bow on the front at the top.

    • 4). Write your message inside the card with a marker or calligraphy pen.

    Locket Keepsake Greeting Card

    • 1). Fold a piece of 8-by-10-inch white card stock in half lengthwise so the edges meet.

    • 2). Cut a piece of red or pink card stock into a heart shape that is about 3 inches wide. Cut two small vertical slits at the top of each rounded edge.

    • 3). Purchase a locket of any type and insert a picture.

    • 4). Slide the locket's chain into the slits on each bump of the heart so the locket hangs on in front. Tape the extra chain to the back of the heart so it can't be seen on the front.

    • 5). Glue the bottom tip of the heart to the front center of the card stock so it creates a pocket and the locket can be removed from the top.
