Christmas Card Archives - Page 3 of 3

Happy Saturday! And… Happy Halloween! Hopefully, you all also have a wonderful weekend with your family and doing something fun together.

Today I am popping up today wanna share something special with you. It is the Caring Hearts Card Drive. It started 6 years ago by Vera Yates. You can read all about it on her blog post.

This year, again both Jennifer McGuireink and Vera Yates host this amazing and thoughful card drive for those who are at nursing home during the Holidays.

The holidays are about family, kindness, and joy. During this time many of the elderly who lives in nursing homes would really feel the loneliness or missing their family. Wouldn’t it be so awesome if we can bring a smile to their face & brighten their holiday season simply by sharing our love of card making? A simple gesture to let them know that they are not forgotten. That someone still thinking of them.

Don’t you agree with what Vera said above? Sending handmade cards to them is you sharing the joy and sending them love from your family to them at the nursery homes, away from their families during the Holidays.

The card drive runs until November 27th. That means you still have time to make Holiday cards for them. More details on this please visit Jennifer McGuireink’s blog and Vera Yates’ blog.

If you can, please share this on your blog and social media using hashtag #caringheartscarddrive so many will join and share the joy! The more, the merrier. The more joy we can share on this special season.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Christmas Card Project has began!

I have a goal this year I would like to send out handmade cards to all our church family, friends and family members. This is a big goal for me because we usually sent out at least 200 Christmas cards every year! That is a lot! But I would like to try 🙂

And here are the first 2 cards I made today:

This first card is inspired by a sketch challenge at Paper Smooches SPARK Challenge for their Designer Drafts Challenge this week. Paper I used is Snowhaven paper packet (CTMH) and the snow embellishments are from Recollections (Michael’s store). The sentiment is from the Christmas Sampler stamp set (Paper Smooches) that I stamped and heat embossed using Ranger™ Princess Gold Embossing Powder.

The second card is a one layer card. I used pencil to draw a triangle to make the shape of a tree and stamped the Fa-La from Christmas Sampler stamp set (Paper Smooches) inside the triangle using Pear Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad (CTMH). And I finished it with some Christmas embellishments I got from Michael’s a while ago and some Studio G Glitter pen to make the garland.

I will post more Christmas Cards that I make to share with you and hopefully they can inspire your to create more 🙂 So, what is your plan for this Christmas? Will you make handmade cards, or buying, or printing photo cards?

Have a Terrific Thursday!
