I needed some new Inspiration for Mothers day cards. Thanks so much! Would love to win!!
Beautiful cards and Beautiful stamps. I am so so HAPPY to see a profit is going to the Syracuse community which is near to my heart, My Mother has and continues to live there for 83 years and myself (56) many years (delete my age after you read this, lol ). We have supported them and the Salvation Army for many years. I was also so pleased about your Parents Blog Hop, my Mothers best friend who is almost 92 yrs young is unfortunately in a nursing home in the Syracuse area, the sad part is it has been rated the worst one in the country, yes the country, which upsets us very much and we have had no success in getting her moved. I worked in a nursing home many years ago and they can be the loneliest place sometimes so this Blog hop you are doing is a wonderful thing, you all are amazing for doing it. I have been very ill myself but I will try to contribute as much as possible. You are wonderful people for sure.
Beautiful cards!
Lovely cards and a fine thing you are doing for a worthy cause. I am a huge fan of your flower stamps. Then you came out with this Dad’s bundle and it is just the best male bundle ever.
What a great idea to make cards for seniors! The beautiful cards made with Altenews’s products will be even more special!!
The Care “Dad you are my inspiration ” is so gorgeus i keep scrolling up to watch it again ? absolutely amazing!
With these supplies, we get a chance to be creative!!
THESE CARDS ARE ALL WONDERFUL-DONT KNOW HOW YOU COME UP WITH SUCH GREAT ONES
It is a wonderful thing that you are doing to help the elderly. Senior living places can be very depressing and you will lighten up them a little bit. Love your cards :)
Love the cards. Thanks so much for your kindness to the senior group.
Cute cards and a wonderful reason to make cards and give to others, love the idea
Great card ideas! What a great way to give back!!
Love all these cards!

Beautiful cards! And what a worthy cause, I remember visiting my grandpa in the nursing home and how sad some of the residents were who did not receive visitors. Thanks for the inspiration :)
I love yout amazing products! <3
I have had terrible luck finding Father’said Day cards for my Dad. He doesn’t have any hobbies. I really like the stamps you offer above– for Dad’s and Moms. The cards are dynamite! Your stamps never disappoint…they are great!
He IS Able!

Love your cards and your wonderful products.
Amazing cards and blog hop….your DT is supremely talented..it was great to get ideas for masculine cards…!!
As always, your stamps and cards are beautiful. But more importantly I love the Cause!! I’ve been taking cards to our local Senior Care Facilities for years. They love the cards but more importantly they just want someone to spend a little time with them. Now that my grandparents are gone …. I love to hear their stories. Thank you again for such a sweet post!!
Such great cards. What an awesome idea with the card drive. Putting some together now
Wonderful cards. So creative and love the masculine ones.. those are an issue for me.. These stamps would make it easy with just the right stamps.
Love the Dad you are my inspiration card for color and style. Thanks
Love love love ???

The Card Drive is such a fabulous idea! I participated at Christmas and hope to do so for this card drive as well.
Loving all of the inspiration.
Wonderful card ideas! So nice that you give back to the community. My mum is 83 and groceries are so expensive on her small pension budget . Thank you so much for thinking of others.
Jennifer, these are fantastic stamp set for Mom & Dad, very nice job on your cards as well. Love seeing a great masculine set and the inspiration I have seen so far is fabulous. Now I’m off to finish the hop!
Oh such wonderful creations!

Great cards. The ninjaeere is awesome.
Inspired to go make some cards!
The cards here and throughout this blog hop truly celebrate parents. I was inspired again and again as I moved along the hop. Each person creating wonderful cards with these images and sentiments. Thanks!
I’m ordinarily drawn to the stamp sets with the larger, layered flowers, but this Mother’s Day set has “spoken to me.” I’ve seen so many possibilities for using it on this Blog Hop!
