DEAR FRIEND 65th XXL CONCERTINA BIRTHDAY CARD

The original card was made for my Mum's 80th birthday and following requests for various ages and other family members it now exists from 60 – 100 in 5-year steps for Mum/Mother/Mummy, Dear Friend and Sister and from 40-55 for Our Daughter and My Daughter. To make the card even more versatile add ons now exist for other family members : Awesome Aunt, Cousin, Dear Friend, Goddaughter, Grandma, Granny, Mother, Mum, Mummy, My Daughter, Nana, Niece, Our Daughter and Sister so that whatever age card you have bought, you can easily adapt it for other members of the family who reach the same milestone.

The card measures around 1m20 when open and concertina folds to fit into a presentation box, included in the kit. There are 2 designs for the backs so that they can be alternated, covering all those places where the card panels are attached together. This also gives you lots of place of writing. Everyone in my family had their own panel to write on ... OK, we're not a very large family... There is a little decoupage on most of the panels, and mine was jazzed up with stick-on strass and pearls and touches of gold pearl powder.

The photographs are of a mock-up (I don’t need so many ultra special cards and especially not in English) but the My Mum’s 80th features that actual card I made here although I have also made it for a 100th birthday – My first ever.
