The Nostalgia of the Apron

Thanksgiving Day, and other holidays such as this festive one, seems to bring out the “apron” in many of us! What would the world be like without the cook wearing a frilly and functional apron?!

I’ve sewn my share of aprons for hostess gift-giving with the added matching mitt, hot pad, and  towel set embellished with a crochet hanger – which always makes a great bridal shower gift too. But using aprons on cards has now been the interest of many a cardmaker, and believe me, it’s much less time consuming to create! I love that these cards can be functional just by adding a center pocket to insert a gift subscription card to their favorite cooking magazine, or gift card from places like, Bed Bath & Beyond, or their favorite place to shop for kitcheny items.

Aprons are making a come back these days, and think this card design will inspire you to create an apron card using one of the many apron images DZ Doodles offers. NOW ON SALE! for a limited time only. Cards using apron images make the perfect thank you for a gracious hostess on Thanksgiving Day or for any special occasion … don’t you think?!

Have a happy papercrafting, Diane

To make room for new images and to ease the site’s 2010 make over, current digi images have been drastically reduced! Many will be deleted entirely … so now’s the time, until Dec. 31st, to get the images you’ve been wanting, but were waiting to purchase later!
