Take a stash of notelets,
a deck of cards,
and a magic wand...
for a nifty, thrifty greeting card...
that's assuming you know someone who's 28 years old.
If you're not certain of their age I suggest you play it safe...
rather than cause offence!
And there's more...
Happy Easter?
Congrats on passing your driving test?
I love you?
Be my Valentine...Jack?
Get well soon?
Happy Anniversary? (shame they look so miserable)
or even Happy Mothers/Fathers Day (still miserable)
so if you're stuck for a card and need to catch the post
give it a go, the possibilities are endless...or at least 52.
Just remember... next time you fancy a game of cards
you may be a sandwich short of a picnic.
Simples.
Crafty ways make best wishes.

PS: There have been some Ethel muddles so just to clarify
I am not 'Living with Ethel' but she is lovely.
got to love a vintage playing card.
ReplyDeleteThese are great....It's no secret, l'm very much a card
ReplyDeleteperson...Love having fun with cards, so much space in them.
So! I don't just sign them. l work on them, add to them......
It's great fun!
If l have an 80th birthday, l'll buy two 40's and send them.....
And, to friends...I'll send a different card for the 'actual' occasion.
Bit tricky when someone's ill...and dies! HeHe! But! I get away
with it....
At Christmas time. l tippex out the writing from the previous years
cards...And, send them...Only thing l have to buy then, are envelopes!
Oh! And! The back of the envelope has to be worked on...
I'm wicked....Really wicked! :>).
So! There you are....Cards on the table....Three of a kind....Am l feeling
flushed....Snap! :0).
