  • I'm thinking ahead for mothers day, instead of buying the norm...flowers, chocolates, pandora charm etc i'm going to give a picture ago. When i was younger i copied out a poem called 'the sunshine tree' for my Mam and it has stuck ever since.
    I've found the poem again online so i might create a tree with lots of little 3d sunshines around it in one of those box frames from wilkinsons? With the poem added underneath :)

    ive finished my titanic cross stitch - this one has taken me about 3 years the first one i ruined took about 2 years so a lot of time has gone into this. i think Dh bought me the kit the christmas after the film came out.

    Most printers have an option for printing on card. If you go into 'properties' before you actually print there should be options to adjust the printing on different papers or card. My old HP printer showed an option for printing on card, but my new Epson only shows paper or photo paper. I tend to use the matte photo paper option when printing on card now and it works mostly.
    It depends on the thickness of the card and if it is shiny or not. The best thing is just to try it. You may need to gently help the card to load into the printer as I find sometimes the rollers don't grip it enough.

    Hope that helps.
