    Since I’ve been having monthly PTI get togethers with some stamping friends for a few years now I can now say that I make more birthday cards than I used to – probably in the 40-50 range. A more pertinent question is how many do I send, and I can say the answer to that is not enough. I think I’ll have a mid-year resolution to do better with that in the coming months. Beautiful projects this month. It’s amazing how the samples on the last day always have the ability to sway what makes it into my cart on the 15th.

    Oh my goodness! This is the event that I would have cause to make cards for more than any other. Unfortunately, I do not seem to have very many word sets for birthdays so I tend to buy more than I make at this point. I probably only make about 3 per year at this point.

    With my very large family, including 11 grandchildren and being in 3 stamp clubs, I make at least 50 cards or more a year. Love making every single one of them. I also teach classes, so there are always more to demo and make. They also make great gifts in sets.

    Three cards a month is the minimum, but that only counts family! I often make a last minute card for neighbors, friends, coworkers! There is no end to the need for just the right card at the last moment.
