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.

Love the card! Mixing different patterned papers on a card is something I struggle with, but this looks so beautiful. I think I might have to give it a try again! Thank you for having this giveaway even though the goal isn’t for us to win, but to make other people happy! Thank you so much Simon Says Stamp for the opportunity to win :-)
What a wonderful drive. Our world could use a lot of kindness!
Love your cards. I do love that tree die also.
Your card is stunning! I love the soft, muted tones against all the different patterns. It’s not easy to achieve this balance but you did it amazingly. I think I will be referring back to this card many times for my own cards. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Shari
I certainly have made a number of cards for the drive. I have already posted them off to the lady who is collecting them in Canada. I work with seniors and know only too well what a lonely time Christmas can be for them. I’m pleased after seeing your card that the craft die is back in stock. Thank so much for sharing. Hugs, Cheryl
Absolutely, beautiful!
Shari, your cards are always so intriguing, and this one is no exception. Enjoy your detailed videos also. Happy World Kindness Day and thanks for a great hop and generous gift card opportunity from SSS! My wish list has grown considerably after hopping!
This is a cute card. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful card. You’d think that with all the different elements here it would end up looking too busy, but it doesn’t. It’s elegant, and that’s due to your wise choices.
An Absolute beauty. You always know what to add where it doesn’t look to much.I’m always so impressed with your creations.
Such a pretty card and wonderful card drive!!! I plan on participating again this year:)
Great card, and such a great and sweet thing to do. I will be trying to do as many as I can to do my part.
A really nice, peaceful card. Thank you to SSS for supporting the Caring Hearts Card Drive.

Thank you for the hop. I couldn’t find a way to leave Amy a comment. Or, I couldn’t find it.
This is a beautiful card that is sure to bring a smile to the recipient’s face! I think your card drive is amazing!
What a beautiful effort. When we show kindness and respect to our elders we affirm that their “being” is important.
Love the new tree die!
You make it look easy lady!! I imagine stenciling thru this die with some glitter paste!!
I love it when people are so generous with their talent! What a great cause.
Great card. Love your mixing of patterns. This is a wonderful cause.

Great cause and a great hop–and your card is perfect–what a great tree die!
What a great card! I ordered that die and can’t wait to get it! Great blog hop!
I love the corbel tree die. Wish I could have one!
I absolutely love this card – so many beautiful patterns and levels. I’m particularly fond of asymmetrical designs, so the offset tree really appeals to me.
