These cards were actually inspired by an article in our local paper on Thursday requesting cards that could be given to seniors who are feeling particularly isolated and fearful during this time of social isolation. Then I saw a post by Cathy Zielski that solved the problem of how to get a group of cards created in a short amount of time. All 12 cards follow the same design—a piece of patterned paper from my considerable stack of 6X6 paper pads, two frame dies (“Nordic Frames” and “Crimped Frames” by The Greetery), and a group of “Hello” dies (two from Simon Says and one from Mama Elephant.) Once the die cutting was done, each card was made literally in a few minutes. Then I remembered that the current AAA Cards Challenge is (guess what?)–Made in Minutes.
Here are the cards:
Once I find out if Lifespan is planning to mail the cards I’ll be able to drop them off at their offices which are just around the corner from me. I’m just not sure if they need postage on the envelopes or not. All these are pretty feminine, and I’m thinking a set designed for men might be appreciated as well.
Marvelous idea and method to spread some cheer! I have the paper on your first card and several more from that Michaels pack. Thanks for the inspiration to share our cards.
What a lovely idea, and good for you for getting on board. The recipients can only be thrilled!
Beautiful cards. Anyone receiving your cards will be thrilled. Vibrant cheerful colours.
Right now there are not as many ways to reach out to our seniors but card sending is a great one. I know that they are getting kids involved in drawing pictures to send to the seniors.
Rejoice – Happy Easter.
These cards are beautiful! …and what a treat for the recipients! I think I need to add “mail a card” to my do-everyday list.
So quick and easy but not lacking for beauty! Thanks for playing along with us at AAA Cards!
These are lovely & I’m sure will be well-appreciated by those feeling so isolated at this time! I’m off to check out Cathy’s post. TFS
Beautiful cards! Thanks for joining AAA Cards! Hugs Åsa
These are fantastic Karen – I especially love the watercolor floral!
Well, that’s a brilliant way to make cards! They look super – so varied, it’s hard to believe they have the same format. I will have to check out Cathy’s post :). I like your third group especially – such a nice ‘hello’ font.
