Computer Gift Cards
You can make great gift and hang tags using your business card software and a package of business card blanks. Just follow the instructions for making business cards on your computer but use cute clipart from the internet for gift tags and take a photo of your handcrafted item and put it on a hang tag for when you sell them at bazaars and craft shows. It is less expensive this way if you only need a few and not hundreds of them.
