Religious Card Craft

With a nifty little change to the decorative cards in my previous post, you can make small gifts for seniors in a retirement home, sick children in the hospital, the terminally ill in hospice, etc. I made these with my son's girl friend in mind. She's in basic training for eight weeks and doesn't have any contact with the civilian world, other than letters or the occasional phone call.
