Do you know that today is World Kindness Day? I think our world need to really focus on spreading kindness and since Caring Hearts Card Drive is based on love and kindness, we think today it the perfect day to have our 7th annual Caring Hearts Card Drive Blog Hop.
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. You still have time to send in your cards. We just need to receive your cards by November 25, 2106. Details for the card drive can be found HERE on my blog & on Jennifer McGuire's Blog
For this hop, I have made 2 cards. First up is a sweet nativity card that I made using SugarPea Designs Let Us Adore Him set combine with Simon Says Stamp Christmas Blessing dies for the sentiment.
Just seeing the smiling baby Jesus makes me happy. I seriously love this set. :)
My next card is a cutesy one that I sure hope will bring a smile to whoever receive it. For this one, I use an oldie Mama Elephant Arctic Penguin and the tree is from Simon Says Stamp Color Me Trees set from Believe in the Season collection.
I love the funky & unique shape of the tree. The way it all wonky make this clean & simple card fun, don't you think? And, one layer card, great for mailing!
Now, no blog hop is complete without a fun giveaway, right?
Simon Says Stamp has generously offering $150 gift card for this hop. All you need to do is visit and leave comment on each blog. Winner will be randomly selected from one of the participant blog. You have till midnight Thurday, 11/17/2016 to leave comment. Winner will be announced on here on my blog on Friday, 11/18/2016.
Here is the Blog Hop List...
I hope you enjoy this hop and will join our card drive. Every single card counts. Let's share handmade kindness. Let's share kindness period. Let love and kindness be part of our daily life. Have a blessed Sunday everyone.

I love the tree from the Mama Elephant set. It is so different.
Hi Vera
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. Hugs, Cheryl

Wonderful cards for a wonderful cause. I'm still working on my Christmas cards for our friends and family, but I figured I might just as well recreate last year's last-minute and easy to replicate design to send a few cards to the UK. Thanks for hosting this event.

Although a great idea it is a little sad that we have to set a day to remind people to be kind to one another. This should be every single day because it is more what makes us similar than the things that sets us apart!
Lovely cards and thanks for the chance to win such a generous prize!
I'm mailing my cards in tomorrow! :)
Such cute cards. Love those penguins. Thank you for sharing.
