When your friend needs a pick me up, it’s time for an Inspirational Card.
Make some quick and easy cards. I like to make a bunch and leave the insides blank, so I have them ready when a friend needs a quick pick me up.
I love finding new ways to use buttons in my card making, and it was fun to make a border with the buttons. This was really easy to do, and would look fun with different kinds of buttons. I’m not great with bows, but this … I can do!
