Win a Bundle of Birthday Cards from Orchard Cards

Win a Bundle of Birthday CardsI don’t know how many 5 year old birthday cards I’ve bought this year.  My daughter has been to at least a dozen birthdays.  It made me think that card companies should offer bundles of age specific cards, as all the kids in the class will turn the same age at some point.  This would save me darting out to get one every time.  So, I contacted the lovely people at Orchard Cards to share my idea.

They didn’t have anything specific, but have offered my readers a chance to win a bundle of 10 birthday cards, for an age of the winner’s choice (ages 1-10).

Full terms and conditions can be found at the bottom of the form.  But in short, open to UK residents only aged 18+.

I think it would also be perfect for those of you in pre-natal groups!

Good luck!

    Cut out shapes (with one of those stamper things) and glue them to a blank card in attractive shapes to send out to people who have a birthday or special occassion.

    I make post cards with the best ones, it’s quite sad I even have a special rubber “post card” stamp for the plain side :) I make tags with others and save the pretty elements of hand made cards to use to re-make cards or embellish wrapping. I can safely say I am a definite womble when it comes to re-using gift cards!

    I think a collage would be great way to display them. Maybe I’ll have the time over the Summer to get out the PVA glue!
