Simple Cactus Birthday Card

This card measures 6ins x 6ins and uses a pre-scored blank from a Hobbycraft pack.

My apologies for such a basic and lazy card, it’s a bit of an insult really, but in an effort to get my completely flunked mojo back, I am making myself try to put at least one card together each day, no matter how easy, in the hope that eventually one idea will lead to another and waaaaayyyyy hayyyyyyyy it’s back!
Paperchase Cactus Stickers
Soooooooo, I simply covered the front of a card blank with a patterned paper from a Works origami paper stack that I thought would give the design a sort of retro feel to it and then added a whole pack of Paperchase house plant and cactus stickers (£1.25) to it.

In parts I just placed the stickers more or less how they were in the pack and then fitted the leftover ones round them, I told you it was a lazy idea.  The final touch was the birthday greeting made using my faithful old Dymo label maker. I think it works, despite being so simple, I just wish I could be more enthusiastic and inspired.

  1. No apologies necessary! We all have mojo lapses, although I don't think yours has left completely. This card is pretty cute, even if it was made with stickers. I think whoever receives this will be very appreciative.

Thank you for wanting to leave a comment. I HATE verification and apologise for the extra bother it causes, however, if I don't have it I get all sorts of dubious spam added and the comments would be bogged down utter ***p!

Occasionally I get comments on posts from several years ago, again, I have to apologise, copies of TEMPLATES etc. that I once offered are now NO LONGER AVAILABLE, when my last computer died, I lost everything and decided not to replace any them.
