One 'old favourite' is a woven card.
Simply cut an A4 sheet of paper in half and preferably choose a contrasting colour for the 'frame'.
On the paler sheet - draw 1 cm lines horizontally down the page. Remember to leave a border.
Write a quotation from border to border leaving no spaces between letters, but leave a line between each line of writing. Uncial seems to work best as the letters are contained.
On the second sheet of paper draw borders of 3cm around each side. Between the borders cut lines with a craft knife from top to bottom border.
Tear the written page between lines. You will have about 5 strips of torn writing lines.
Weave these through the second [darker] sheet. The letters will 'peep' through the woven pieces. Decorate the letters with bright colour. Glue the loose tabs to secure.
Use as a birthday card or any other card you choose.
