Cardmaking Vocational Center
|
These cards are made by young women living in Alto Cayma, a settlement on the outskirts of the city of Arequipa, Peru. The people in this settlement have moved down from remote mountain villages to try to make a better life for themselves and their families. They arrive with few skills with which to make a living in the city, and the women help support their families by cleaning houses, taking in washing, or performing other manual labor for very low wages. With support from Rotary International, the women are being taught to do handicrafts as a means of increasing their earning potential. These cards, which are the result of that enterprise, have enabled someone to help themself significantly improve the quality of life of their family.

Our Cards are Suitable for Framing!
Each Creaciones Angel card is a hand-made work of art -- so why not frame
them as gifts! Simply choose the right card for your occasion, then go to
your local frame shop or craft store to find complementary frames and mats.
Many times, the right frame and mat will bring out the colors and patterns
of your chosen card in stunning ways. And some Creaciones Angel cards are
beautifully framed on their own, with no mats needed!
Here are some examples of our framed cards, to give you an idea of what you
could create. Remember that you can frame other keepsakes (such as wedding
invitations, simple captions or photographs) with these cards, to enhance
and personalize the presentation.
