    Organise your birthday cards!

    Step up a notch from 'Card Making Queen' to 'Organiser Supreme' with Jane Dean's birthday card box... you won't have any excuses for forgetting now!

    Unless you're a super-human craftaholic, every card maker gets caught out by last-minute birthdays from time to time. Jane Dean has, so she's created this handy birthday box to make sure she never forgets again! “I'm absolutely hopeless at sending cards,” laughs Jane. “I remember birthdays and anniversaries and even buy cards in good time - yes, BUY cards - I just never get round to posting them until it's too late. I used to phone and make excuses. I even got my sister to buy cards and pretend they were from me but my step-dad caught me out on that one! My Nanny tried to help me by giving me a calendar with family birthdays marked on it but that didn't work either. This year I've tried something different. I've made ALL of my cards in advance, they're all in a tin with a divider for each month with birthdays marked on a calendar. All I have to do is remember to look and send the cards. I can do that can't I?...”

    This is a pdf article from Papercraft inspirations magazine. It includes a step-by-step guide for how to make your monthly calendar dividers. All shopping lists and supplies suggestions in this pdf were correct at the time of publication, but you may need to improvise & shop around for supplies if items are no longer in the shops.
