Praise e-mail all you want, but there’s no denying that everyone loves getting cards in the mail! Whether it’s for a birthday, a thank you, or just because you’re thinking of someone, sending a little greeting can turn someone’s day around…especially if you make the card yourself. Today’s project comes from K&Company and is a beautiful card that can be used for any occasion. The bright spring colors and flower embellishments are perfect for this time of year! Thanks to Kara Ward for K&Co. for bringing us today’s project!
