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.

Lovely cards! Love the idea of the Caring Hearts Card Drive, hoping to be able to initiate something along the same lines in my country too. Thank you for being an inspiration <3
Such sweet cards! Love the nativity scene!
So cute Vera! Thank you so much for hosting this card drive every year and letting all of us be a part of bringing happiness to others! I am grateful!
My favorite would be the penguins also!
I've been donating Christmas cards to local nursing homes for years so am so happy to participate in the Caring Hearts Drive this year. It's so rewarding to know that my love of crafting will put a smile on someone's face.
These are adorable! I especially love the penguin one!
Wonky is fun! Love the penguins!
You created such lovely scenes on your cards - love them both
Such cute cards! Love them both.
Beautiful and sweet cards!
Vera this is just so wonderful. I joined in last year for the first time as it started in Australia and this year Im doing a whole Nursing Home. Its so good to be able to give to others. Seeing how Mum and dad have so much support reminds me that there are many others who are not so lucky. Your inspiration continues to grow and grow you are such an amazing wonderful person. I am so glad I have been able to participate.
Love the two cards you have done too, I am learning that every card does not have to be a full on creation, that simple can be just as pretty as complex.
Vera these are gorgeous cards! Thank you so much for organizing the Caring Hearts card drive. It's such a sweet and kind idea for those folk that can be forgotten at Christmas. Have a truly wonderful day. Cheers Donna Z :) PS I have thoroughly enjoyed this fantastically inspiring blog hop.

What super adorable cards!!!
Awe I love that Nativity scene card! Such sweet, smiling critters and Baby Jesus. I'm really excited about participating in this card drive! The elderly hold a special place in my heart, but especially those in nursing homes! Having visited both my mother and grandmother who each lived in one until their passing, I know full well how these special people can feel alone and what a treasure it will be for them when they receive a handmade card just for them. Thank you for doing this and thank you for allowing me and all card crafters to be included in the giving! ❤️Joy

Very sweet cards - thanks so much!
Great use of white space on your fabulous cards! Can't wait to have our box of cards ready to send to you soon.
two wonderful cards, Vera - the penguins are darling! thank you taking the time to coordinate this great card drive.
Both your cards are so adorable! The Nativity one is my favorite though. Great job!
Amazing cards made all the more special and heart-warming because of their 'essence': to bring joy to those who live in seniors' residences and nursing homes. Your willingness to share your gifts - the cards AND your creativity - is extraordinary! Angels do walk the earth; you are one...

This has been a terrific blog hop (for such a worthy cause), thank-you to the coordinators for making this card drive possible!
Aww. Those cards are so darling. I just learned of the Caring Heartscard drive. I better start coloring.
Cute, cute cards!
Such cute cards Vera! I love the card drive. I participated last year and loved doing it. Thanks for starting it.
I love the little tree too! So cute!
Beautiful cards for a beautiful cause.
My 92 year old dad is in a nursing home right now. He fractured his collar bone when he slipped coming out of a doctors office in the rain and wind. He won't be in the hospital for Christmas but there are people in his home who are there forever and some who are just there for a little while like my dad. I think this is so great! I'm making Christmas cards for this and I hope I win something. My problem is I make big cards so I have to learn to scale them down for this. The 2 cards you show here, especially the one with the baby Jesus are great! I am a Catholic so I can so appreciate that one. I love blog hops but my feet and legs don't! LOL
Really sweet cards - both of them. Thank you for sharing
Love your sweet cards!
