Final Birthday Card Group

Over the past couple of weeks I've been sharing Birthday Cards made with cut-aparts (or journal cards) that were cut from a couple of 12 x 12" sheets. This group is the last of them but actually the first group that I made. Ha - I rarely post things in the same order I make them.

I added coordinating patterned paper to the card bases, matted the cut-aparts then popped them up with foam tape. Most of them already had a sentiment or greeting printed on them but for those that didn't, I added one on a fishtail banner like the photo below.

I was so happy with how these cards turned out - they are nice and cheerful for the nursing home residents and I enjoyed putting them all together. Win Win! I have several months of donation cards done ahead now, so I can go back to doing a few here and there to keep up.

Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.
