Beautiful Cherry Blossoms

Take a minute to smell the flowers when you send this special card to someone this Summer.  Let them admire the beautiful cherry blossoms and soft colors with the simple words of encouragement.  Also, it’s always special when you let them know you are thinking of them.  Hand made cards probably mean more today than they did ten years ago because technology is so much easier.

Flowery Hello

Create this flowery hello card with the Floral Frames bundle.  My favorite part of this card is the 3D flowers surrounding the frame.  It adds the perfect dimension and focal point.  The sentiment in the middle can really be anything you like.  It’s also perfect for birthday and thinking of you cards.
