Why make a unique birthday greeting card that looks like a purse?

In truth, using a theme or fashion symbol that the celebrant loves is one of the coolest ways to make a birthday greeting card.

However, take it to the next level by adding a unique feature to the card. In this case, a leather-textured purse card for that diva you know is an awesome way to go. By the way, this kind of material is available in craft stores.

If a purse won’t do the trick, think of another fashion symbol like a unique belt birthday card.
