I had to really use my brain on this one! This is a 3-page card. This new, yet vintage curved knitting needle and packaging is preserved, but can be pulled out by Irene, should she wish to use this gift. OK. So I made the knitting needle gift pouch out of a heavy plastic collection card photo page divider. I cut the plastic around the curve so that I could wrap the rainbow yarn around it and not harm this little collectable. Attached a little Jolee skein of yarn that swings. 99 was adhered to the plastic. Plastic was adhered to the 2nd layer and base card with eyelets. Inside, below the sentiment is a big birthday cake and on the inside purple base I will write my birthday words.

So clever and creative. You must have a great collection of - collectibles! Anybody who knitted would be delighted to receive such a special card. I always thought boucle was a yarn type, it's obviously a type of knitting too. The eyelets are perfectly in keeping with the rest of your packaging. Brilliant card!

Congratulations on your Featured Stamper honour Lori! Well deserved. Just want to let you know that Irene got a kick out of your card and gift. She was really taken by the little skein of wool and that you had taken such time to send the knitting needles. Thank you!
