Crafts have taken off in recent times and the pretty blank cards you can easily find now with matching envelopes are testament to this.
If you (or someone you know) is handy with Microsoft Publisher (or similar) and has a colour printer a pack of these cards can be turned into a creative, personal and money saving (yours and the recipents!) gift.
Simply using A4 sheets of address labels you can add a label to back of each envelope saying "Special Delivery from Sally" and a label to the back each card saying "This card was made especially for you by Sally" add a picture of the childs favourite character to each label for some interest. Use a font that is fun, in a colour that coordinates with the picture and you'l be amazed how smart it looks.
Finally slide them carefully back in their packaging or tie a ribbon around the pile and wrap with some markers or colouring pencils and you'll have an original gift.
If you're lucky you'll get a homemade card on your next birthday.
I've done these for girls and boys, and they are currently what The Princess brings to birthday parties, so if you're inviting her - you know what's coming!
Great Job! I really love it
