A unique greeting card line made in Forks, Washington.
What is a “Borrowed Relatives card?”
Years ago, it was
a very special thing to have your photograph taken. Many people would send the photograph attached to a card and
embellish it in some way.
Our cards use the button card concept so popular years
ago. Each card features a black and
white photograph – some nearly a hundred years old and others only a few
decades old – that is then embellished with buttons which are hand-sewn onto
the front of the greeting card. Here
are a few examples of what our cards look like.
Cheri’s version uses forgotten black and white photographs found at tag sales and from friends, vintage buttons and decorative papers. These are a great way to add a little something special to any package or gift. No two cards are ever same! And each is crafted by hand.
