This is a great project. Often people forget that some are not as fortunate as they are. Family is so important. Thank you for doing this
Such great inspiration on this post – can’t wait to hop along!
Hi
Jaycee’s card took a lot of time. But a beautiful result. It’s cool to see guys get into cardmaking. It gives us another perspective into what guys might like.
Thanks,
Erica K.
Thank you for organizing this effort to cheer elderly folks on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. What a wonderful idea!
I already have some of these beauties! Thanks for the inspiration!
Love the creations!
Just finished the complete tour of all the amazing cards by your talented team! Altenew stamps are the best and I look forward to this annual event and seeing everyone’s creativity.
Great inspiration on this hop!
Wonderful Cause amd it warms my heart that Altenew is hosting this drive. I plan to donate as well as send my usual monthly care package of cards to Send Smiles to Seniors.
Love this idea!
I love this collection.
Looks like lots of beautiful cards in the hop!
These are amazing cards! Can’t wait to get started making some of my own. Love you Altenew for such quality products!
How wonderful this is! I lost my parents and one of my children so this time of the year is hard on me. This is such a great project!
Great cards by all of your makers! Love this idea of supporting the elderly. My Mom is in a care center and I provide her with handmade cards for all occasions. She loves to send cards to family and friends.
What a great thing to do! So many elderly are forgotten.
What a wonderful idea this is! I will be sending in cards for this amazing, thoughtful parents’ drive. Thank you for helping us give back!
Getting cards ready. This is a great project!
Just beautiful! Thank you so much for inspiring us and helping us use our love of creating to give back to others!
Such great inspiration on this hop. Thanks to all for participating. It’s a great reminder that cards are for giving, not just the fun of making.
Giving cards, to me, is like giving a piece of myself. This is an important drive, because it targets a generation that used cards for all kinds of occasions, but also just for sending someone a note. I’m very excited to see all the designers creations.
What a beautiful idea of sending cards to moms & dads!
I can almost feel their excitement when opening a handmade card on their special occasion. I♥️Altenew !
Paper hugs are always heart warming, I think this is a great cause to give too. Looking forward to make cards for the drive and to take note from the inspiration along the hop. Thanks for all that you share!
Nice project and wonderful card samples. I love being able to use your ideas for projects in my community. Thanks!
Such a good idea!
I will make cards for our local senior’s home. The cards here give me lots of inspiration. My mom and dad are gone now but I would love to give to those who need a little cheering up.
Thank you for promoting crafting for nursing home residents who are so often forgotten and for contributing to the food bank.
Thanks for supporting seniors! Great inspiration…your design team rocks!
What a wonderful way to give back! Thank you for your part in caring for others. Beautiful showcase of Altenew products!
This is such a wonderful project! Love that you are giving back to the community!
These cards are a wonderful way to brighten the recipient’s day… great card drive!!!

family around). Encouraging people to send
cards if a thoughtful idea. thanks for having

Beautiful cards. Love all the ideas for Mother and Father’s Day. Thanks.
What a great cause and fabulous sneak peek projects!
Awesome cards!!!! Such a wonderful thing of joy for people that sometimes feel alone!!!
Great theme for this blog hop.
What a great initiative.
Wonderful cause.
This is such a fabulous card drive!
Great drive idea to make an impact for people in need. Looking forward to the ideas for cards to make.
I love that you do this. I participated last year and will again! Thank you!
Beautiful technique superbly executed
Such a wonderful idea. I think it is great for people like me who have lost both parents but love the idea of still getting to send a card to honor not only the recipient but also their own parents.
I have been giving my extra cards to the retirement community close to me for the seniors to give to their families. Especially during COVID when they could not get out. I love seeing the smiles.
This is an amazing thing to do!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Altenew products and their special event card making classes.
