I make cards and sell them for raising support :)<br />If I were to buy your handmade cards, I love clean & simple, colorful, love handwriting/drawing and stamping too :)<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Helen G.

More often it's cards I buy in the $1 bin at Michael's {which are super cute!}.

As for color schemes I always lean more towards the earthy colors and love the cards that are just those of encouragement for no special reason.

Birthday and holiday cards are nice, but they're almost expected and they tend to pile up. Who doesn't like a surprise for no good reason? :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09166888753657888379noreply@blogger.com
