I have made this card for my Mother-in-law for Mothering Sunday which was nice and simple using an all-in-one decoupage kit from
Cuddly Buddly. Everything is there so you can just print out, cut out and assemble. I see this as the "Ready Meal" of the craft world. Although I love to cook, sometimes I just want to eat something tasty without having to work too hard. Thus I have made this lovely card without too much effort, I just added some pink chiffon ribbon and a little bit of bling to make it "mine". It comes with a selection of four matching sentiments and I was wondering what to do with the surplus three (Thank You, Happy Birthday and With Love) when I remembered that my Mother-in-law had told me how she had reused my cards in the past by cutting off the front and using them as notecards so it occurred to me that I could give them to her so she could extend the life of the card. I will put a bit of double sided tape on the back of each sentiment and print off an extra insert so she can give it a new lease of life. Thrifty or what? I know she's going to like the idea. There is a new Easter Card in the same format at CB that I have got my eye on. Watch this space.
