Cool, I really liked that card - looked old fashioned!

Today will be out shopping for a very special Christmas Card from a Hallmark store for my Aunt Vera who is stuck in a Personal Care home up in Washington State, her daughter will take it to her. She will find some joy in the card during this pandemic.

Christmas card production by my wife stopped a week ago and the craft trolley is parked up.
But not before she completed making some flowers for use during the coming year on some birthday cards.
She won't be using them on every card, so some will go into her store of card making materials for future use.

Are those real flowers or are they synthetic? If they are real, did she dry them? They look so perfect!

Thanks for the kind words.
They are paper and come as individual kits, you have to cut out several layers for each one, fold and glue them together.
For all her card making she uses this glue, in a syringe, it's £4.50 a tube. I get lumbered with buying it for her on eBay quite often, three tubes at a time, but I don't mind.
@Sean Regan, I like the assorted colors of the roses.
Those are so awesome! I bet her cards are amazing. Does she have a website where she sells her cards?

It's just a hobby, she's never sold any. It helps with her MS. To turn it into a business would just add pressure and take away the fun of making them.
They are just for us to send to family and friends.
Plus very occasionally some "commissions" she gets to make cards for friends and family for them to send to other people on special occasions. The last was a few weeks ago for a golfing friend of mine and his wife, to send a card to their son and his fiancé congratulating them on the birth of their new baby.
Here's a few examples.
This sofas main purpose is as a "temporary card store."
Every card is different.

I like the Trader Joes Christmas cards! I also like the pretty glittery ones showing old fashioned scenes!
Speaking of Christmas, I love the Christmas songs from the 1940s! They are the best! What does everyone else think!?
