Greeting Cards and Invitations

In addition to making scrapbook pages and preserving memories, papers and embellishments can be used to create custom cards.

Invitations can be made the same way. Select papers and embellishments that match the theme of the event. Invitations can be made for various holiday parties. Include information on when and where the event will take place.

Photo Frames

Decorative, personalized photo frames and borders can be made from scrapbook paper and embellishments. Such frames are appropriate for kids moving away to college for the first time. Use bright colors and include embellishments such as stickers or letters to express your encouragement or love.
Gift Bags

Use scrapbook paper and cutouts to make ordinary gift bags more interesting. Halloween scrapbook paper and cutouts of black cats and jack-o'-lanterns can make plain orange gift bags more festive. Such decorated gift bags can be used for various holidays, birthdays, anniversaries and showers.
Considerations

Special scrapbook glues, tapes and markers should also be used to prevent any discoloration of the papers and embellishments. Clear, protective sleeves will assist in protecting the scrapbook pages from wear and unexpected ripping.
