At WSB, we love innovated products aimed at accessibility from tiles to help us find our luggage to apps that help in our daily lives. But what about everyday items as simple as a greeting card? We wanted to share a new product from Quilling Card that can change the game for the visually impaired and blind community receiving greeting cards!

You might be wondering what Quilling even means. But it turns out it is a great solution when it comes to accessible greeting cards. Quilling Card produces hand-made, fair trade greeting cards utilizing the art of Quilling.   Quilling is the art of rolled, shaped, and glued paper that results in creating a unified, decorative design and braille for readability and enjoyment. Quilling cards now offer their unique art form in braille so it can be read by the blind and visually impaired community. They worked hard with the Perkins School for the Blind to make sure the cards were accurate and legible.

Quilling Cards are also a company you can feel good about supporting! Not only are they providing an accessible and innovative service to the blind and visually impaired community, but they also focus on hiring those with disabilities. The company hires deaf artisans to create the braille quilled greeting cards as they wanted to create a connection through touch for the deaf and blind. The founder of quilling cards, Huong Wolf, spent many years focusing on providing equal opportunities for people with disabilities, which speaks to us at WSB as that is exactly what we do.

Quilling cards can be purchased on their website for $12 and for more information, visit the Quilling Cards website
