Hug A Heart Card Drive - Card 3

 Here's my 3rd card for the hug a heart card drive.  I bought this cute precolored puppy image from Digi Web Studio a few years ago and never used it.  I think the kids might like it.  The card drive is asking for little or no embellishments so I kept this clean and simple.

I am entering my card in the following challenges

Heart Puppy - 2nd card for Hug A Heart Card Drive

Here's my second card for the hug a heart card drive.  I found this cute image called Lg Heart Puppy at Eureka Stamps and thought it would be perfect for the kids cards.  I colored the image in Gimp2 and opened all the pieces in my Silhouette Studio DE software.  Cut the image and saying with my Silhouette Cameo die cutting machine.  Paw print paper (made by Penny Black) was cut out with MFT stitched die.  The card drive is asking for little or no embellishments so I kept this clean and simple and only added a little twine bow.

First holiday card for this year

Last year I made over 75 holiday cards and it took all year to get them done.  So I'm starting early and making some each month so I can get them out to the various charities I support in November.

I used the digi papers from this Carta Bella paper pack and a fun snowman from the Silhouette store.
I cut out all the pieces using Silhouette Studio DE software and my Cameo die cutting machine.

Cards For Hospitalized Kids Needs Your Help

I received a letter in the mail today from a charity called Cards For Hospitalized Kids that I have been sending cards to for three years.  They are asking if anyone can help as they are running really short on card donations.  They receive a lot of cards for Christmas but no where near enough to fill their needs for the other holidays like Valentine's Day, St Patricks Day, Easter, 4th of July and Halloween.

They are a registered charity that has a excellent reputation and is doing so much to help kids that are seriously ill in the hospital.

If you have any extra cards you can donate or if you can make some holiday cards to send in, I know they and the kids will really appreciate it.   Even if you can only send one card, it's worth it to bring a smile to the face of a little one that is going through such a rough time.

Please click HERE for more info.

Thanks so much,

Hugs,

Dee
