husband who has the most adventurous stories imaginable and he was a pilot so I put the two together to make his birthday card.\u00a0 It is a &#8216;never ending card&#8217;.\u00a0 We made this card at club for Valentine&#8217;s Day in 2016.\u00a0 Here is a hint &#8211; to effectively use the blog, go to the recipe box and find the thumbnail picture of the card you remembered making and click on the picture and you will go to that posting so you can make another card like it.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZF-FGBX_Cis\" target=\"_blank\"

should be marketed as a stress relief tool as you play with folding it back and forth!\u00a0 My first Never Ending Card (also called a Perpetual Card) was a Valentine card and I started with colored
