A handmade card is such a thoughtful way to say “hi” or “thank you.” Putting a little bit of time and effort into making a card from scratch makes a big impact for the card receiver. These 12 vintage handmade card ideas all use graphics from The Graphics Fairy and would be perfect for the next time you need to give a thoughtful card.
The greatest thing about a handmade card is that you can totally personalize. From the colors to the graphics, you get to hand select each and every part of it which makes it so special.
