March Feel Better Soon

This is a rare project for us! We usually stick to “hello” or “have a happy day”, but today we decided to make true “Get Well Soon” cards for hospital patients. We had some donated paper floating around, so I paired it with some metallic yellow circles/scallops from leftover scraps, …

February Police Thank You Cards

This month, inspired by the blue colors of the Gene Yang Gang and remembering Dr. Gene’s legacy this month, we created cards for the Casa Grande Police Department to recognize their strength and hard work.
