World Kindness Day + Caring Hearts Blog HOP
Hello Friends!! The purpose of this card drive is to collect handmade holiday cards for the elderly that live in nursing homes around the world. Since 2010 we have been bringing joy to many nursing homes throughout the US, Canada and Australia. And this year, we are branching out to the UK! What better way to share our love of card making than to bring joy to others, right? We hope you’ll join us in supporting the card drive. Details for the card drive can be found at: Vera Yates Blog & Jennifer McGuire’s Blog
I created a card that is easy to produce several at a time. I’ve mixed a variety of patterns that all come together without being too overwhelming.
The Corbel Tree is one of my favorite dies, it can be used in many ways… from glittery goodness to natural and muted tone cards. Check out the Holiday Message Strip stamp set, there are a ton of greetings to use for your holiday cards!
I’ve created a quick how to video on how this card comes together. You can view it below or on our YouTube channel HERE.

Very pretty card! So generous of SSS to give away a gift card! This is my one stop shop for all my cardmaking goodies! Hope to participate in more card drives like this in the future!
Thank you for this one! Love the corbel tree die, and I have it on my wish list. I love playing with patterns and color, but am not always sure other people would find my combinations ok. I love how this turned out. Thanks again..
What a fantastic card !!! And such an awesome giveaway for a lovely cause.
Thanks for the inspiration Shari! It is a beautiful card.
Loved everything on the hop! I did have trouble finding a few of the posts on some of the blogs (ie: Heather Ruwe, Julie Ebersole) and couldn’t find where to post comments on a few (Amy Lee for one!) I am new to this so maybe I missed it somehow!
I love your use of patterned paper. Very nice card!

Love this card! Just gorgeous. And the Caring Hearts Drive, a wonderful endeavor by Vera. I found out about it last year, so I started my cards back in the summer. Now I have a ton of cards ready to send to her and I’m excited to know that elderly folks will experience a little more happiness this holiday because of all the cards Vera and her “helpers” are collecting. Thanks for the great give-away SSS!!
I’m loving that tree die and look forward to seeing it being used after the holiday season is over. Thank you for your generous give away for this Blog Hop. I was unable to find a posting of the Hop on Julie’s link so did not leave a comment.
