Spotlight and Donation

 

     

"SPOTLIGHT AND 50 CARDS FOR

CARDS FOR CARE ALBERTA"

Cards for care Alberta is handing out cards for International Nursing Day.  I wasn't feeling great for a few weeks before but I still managed to make a few.  Of course I made a few more "male" styled cards as I feel some men don't want flowers and butterflies etc!  I bought some great papers with boats and lighthouses which were great.  I have some great mens card designs coming in the future too!

Cards for care also featured me in their Volunteer Spotlight for March.  My inserts will be used to help volunteers make more cards and help many who can't write so many "inside card sentiments" but who can make many cards.


I was trying to do a few different types of designs.  A lot of my cards always have a "certain look" to them and I was inspired by a youtuber:  Lucy Patrick to use some different design ideas.  I love how she uses washi/PET tapes to build designs on a card.  She also had some great ideas on how to use background dies with multiple cuts to great unique cards both with papers and with stickers/washi.


Again I was mostly experimenting with some new designs.  I have quite a few PET/Washi stickers of girls and poses and I thought it would great for nurses cards.


Here are some of non-girly cards.  I love the planes, boats, and light houses.  The cat card is sweet too.  I have many cat cards in the works so look out for those!

I can't thank all the nurses everywhere for doing such amazing and hard jobs.  I hope that they feel special when Cards for Care delivers their cards for International Nurses Day.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope that you have a great one!

300 Card Donation to Cards for care

     

"300 CARDS FOR

CARDS FOR CARE ALBERTA"

I always have cards going and in different stages of completion.  I decided to make up and finish 300 Cards for care Alberta this February.  I have different styles, colours, and arrangements.  I took pictures of some of my favourite cards.




Here are some close ups of some of my more favourites:













Cards, cards, and more cards!  I kept track of types of cards and places that they were going to.  I also made sure I made some card specifically for men.  I enjoyed making all the cards and I'm so happy I can donate them to a good cause!


Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope that you have a great one!

Donation on Valentine's Day

    

"CARDS FOR

CARDS FOR CARE ALBERTA"

I started making cards for Cards for care Alberta this January and made up 55 cards for Valentine's Day.  I made a few cards up with some pink and red cardstock.  I ordered a cute paper line with these adorable bears and made up some cards from these cute papers.  I plan on a big donation coming later in February but in the meantime, here are some of my favourite cards!




Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope that you have a great one!
