Good morning!
We are so excited to be participating in this year's Autism Awareness Blog Hop!
Veronica Zalis organized the blog hop to raise autism awareness and to celebrate all those with autism and those whose lives have been touched by autism. When she contacted us, we knew right away that we wanted to join in!
For more information on the blog hop (and the prizes!), you can read her post here.
Some of you may know that I teach elementary music, which means I see hundreds of students each week. I am so fortunate to teach every student in my school! I have to say that my students with autism are among the sweetest and it's an honor to see them grow from year to year.
For my card today, I started with a piece of 4.25″x5.5″ cardstock. I blended Warm Sunshine ink over the Layered Kaleidoscope Stencil A, followed by Coral Berry ink over Layered Kaleidoscope Stencil B. I focused the second layer of ink in the center of the panel only, inking more heavily in the middle.
Then, I stamped out a little dude from the Ninja Invasion Stamp Set and cut him out with the coordinating die. I adhered him to the inked panel with foam tape so that his foot lined up with the pink burst in the center. I love how it looks like he's got a powerful kick!
The sentiment was created with the ASL Love Stamp Set and each letter was cut out with its coordinating die. I popped these up onto a strip of cardstock and then adhered the strip with foam tape as well. To finish the card, I mounted the panel onto an A2 sized white card.

Oh this ninja dude is fantastic! Thank you for the work you do in music, too – my daughter is a special education teacher with Asperger’s Syndrome students and she’s my unsung hero! Thanks for being part of this wonderful hop!
Great cards and a wonderful cause. It’s terrific that the crafting community is so caring and works on awareness for many causes. Crafters in general are just great, loving and caring people–as all the folks at Altenew are. Thanks for promoting this great cause.
Love this card! Thanks for participating to bring Autism Awareness ?
Thank you so much for participating and spreading awareness. I love this card and I love the asl set. My 11 year old son is on the spectrum and is also hearing impaired, so I am going to pick up that stamp set for sure! Jan
What a cute card! I saw your card and that”s what lead me to go check out this blog hop this morning! Thanks for sharing the inspiration to help out a great cause!
Great card for a worthy cause.
Thank you for your bringing the awareness of autism to your audience and sharing this important message! Many we come across are touched by autism, and educating others to better understand those living with autism is important! Love the stamp set!
Cool card with many possibilities for that little Ninja warrior!
Great card. Thank you for bringing awareness of autism to the forefront. I don’t personally know any people with autism but I bought christmas cards one year that were made by autistic children. Great cause.
I would like to say how much I appreciate that you are participating in this. My son is 12 and he has Aspergers syndrome. He also has aggressive ADHD and it was hard to get the autism diagnosis and therefore to get it treated. This is a wonderful way to raise awareness
I love your Products, and thank you for sponsoring this Awesome Blog Hop!!

Thanks for sponsoring such a great cause getting awareness about autism is very important as not many people are aware of how autism affects many family’s.
Nice card. I have a daughter with autism she is 25 years old now and people who don’t understand think like somehow as parent we failed and act like things we deal with is because of bad parenting.
Glad there is initiatives like this to spread awareness.
Thanks to all who sponsored and Veronica for putting together such great cause blog with lovely sponsorship.
Crafting is my outlet from the challenges.
Have a blessed day!
