Calling All Card Makers!
I just found out a great opportunity to use our card-making skills to brighten the lives of those affected by cancer. Card Care Connection has asked me to help reach the card-making community in order to help. So here I am, asking for hand-made cards to help in this great cause.
I think most of us know of someone who has dealt with cancer, and why do we make cards except to brighten someone’s day and let them know we care? This is a great chance to use our talents to serve others.
Please see the Card Care Connection website for details on card specifics and guidelines. I’m asking anyone who makes cards to make 3 (or more) cards to send in this month to Card Care Connection:
Card Care Connection
112 Saddlehorn Court
Fenton, MO 63026
Thank you so much for your help! The Card Card Connection would love to see photos of your cards, and I’d love to hear how many you send in so I can keep a little tally (my contact information is found under the “About Me” tab at the top of my blog).
These should be uplifting or cheerful messages on the outside, but not religious. Also avoid “get well soon” and “feel better” messages. Nothing should be put inside the cards. All the details are on the Card Care Connection website.
To jump start your creativity, I’m providing a free Studio cut file you can use if you want. Shawna at Paper Kisses and Inky Wishes has already used this design on a beautiful card! Thanks, Shawna!

Thank you for your help in this card drive, my friends!
What a worthy cause to get my crafting back up to speed……Will certainly be joining in.
Well done Kelly for giving the time and your blog to promoting this venture

Thanks so much, Sue! You're awesome!
On behalf of Card Care Connection we are so excited that you are all making cards for our program. We are looking forward to receiving your cards for our recipients!
Thank you for the opportunity, Aleeza. So far I've got 47 cards minimum committed to be coming your way (many of those made already), and I'm sure it will be more.
Kelly,
Thank you so much for the beautiful files!!! 🙂 I am going to see if I've unpacked my card stash. I would love to send some (I usually donate to the hospice patients here, but would like to spread the love around! 😉
Thanks again,

Thank you, Jennifer! I appreciate it, as will the Card Care Connection.
Thank you so much for the file. Itäs wunderful
This is lovely … to clarify the studio file is not compatible with dxf correct? Thx e.evans7890@gmail.com
The Studio file only works on Silhouette machines, but I can email you an SVG version if that would help.
