Everyone who creates has a tendency to forget certain details about their creations from time to time. Most cross stitchers in today's time don't initial and/or date their work, and as time goes by, they forget things like the brand of fabric they used, when it was finished, etc. These cards are formatted to be about the same size as business cards and can be filled out so that, even when our children or grandchildren pick up something we've made, they'll know more about it, and it will cause these items to mean that much more to their hearts. :-)
