Hello. As the Share Handmade Kindness Challenge is winding down, I want to share some exciting news to continue the kindness.
I’ve had the pleasure of helping Jennifer with this challenge and when we sent out goodie boxes to tell people about the challenge, these quote cards were a hit…
A little bit about these cards…
These playful “Random Quotes of Kindness” are intended for just that: sharing a bit of unexpected kindness…anywhere and everywhere. Put one in a kid’s lunch box. Leave another of the windshield of stranger’s car at the grocery store. Tape one to a dressing room mirror (with the washi tape that is included). Send one in the mail to a friend. Be creative and spread kindness!
Many of the recipients used them up quickly… so I (with Jennifer‘s blessing) decided to open an Etsy shop to sell them. My shop is called the Share Kindness Shop and you can find it HERE. The cards are available in two different styles.
The regular style which can be found HERE…
or the speech bubble version that can be found HERE…
The best part? Twenty percent of the proceeds will go to the Kind Campaign– an amazing organization that is working to end bullying.
These cards are awesome on there own, but I wanted to share a few examples of cards I created with them. They make quick cards and are the perfect size for pocket page scrapbooking.
Here’s the set of cards I created using them and Mama Elephant’s Lunar Animals Stamp set…
One of the dies in THIS wonky stitches die set works perfectly with the quote card size and does a faux stitch around the edges. I die-cut a speech bubble to highlight the quote. I used THIS paper pad to add some interest to the background.
A closer look…
I die-cut fun foam using THESE coordinating dies and adhered them behind the animal images to add some dimension. I adhered the quote slightly off center from the foam behind it to created a colored shadow. I finished off the cards by using THIS pen to make the eyes pop and adhering everything down to THESE card bases. I’m really liking this smaller size of cards!

I would give a set to my friend Marie Lindley. She loves to make cards as much as I do. She's new to stamping and would really enjoy these treats!

These are so gorgeous – I love the original cards and your little cuties as well! I would share the extra set with my Mom as she also loves to give lots of cards but doesn't make them (she has me to make them for her to give!). She's the kindest person I know so I would love to surprise her with these!

I have a friend who has Lupus and sending encouragement when dealing with challenges is important to me, as I have MS and we sometimes face the same issues. These cards are adorable!

I would give the set to my daughter's teacher. This is a school for autistic children and the cards are so cute, the message so relevant. I can really see her and the other teachers using these as another way to encourage the students if they are having a tough day. I've been working on making tags with Tim Holtz Crazy Birds, but I like the simple, encouraging words of these messages a lot.

Heather, these are awesome and so sweet you are donating a portion to anti-bullying. It's so sad to see these poor kids having to deal with this, plus peer pressure and everything else that destroys self-confidence. My friend Evilo never misses sending cards for almost every holiday. She would love to share kindness with others. Thanks for all you do to help this world in more ways than one!

I got back into crafting thankfully to my beautiful friend Laura Anis! So, it only seems fair for us to win together & get her back to crafting as well. She does so much for everyone else. Always goes above & beyond & she deserves such gorgeous cards to show her that she's very much appreciated.

These cards are really lovely and have the added bonus of making someone's day. I would give the extra set to my crafty friend, Sylvie, who is always doing generous things for people, least of which is sharing her wonderful home cooking. Thnaks for the chance to win.

Thank you for the opportunity to win, I will share it with my sister, that is also my best friend. We have been knitting scarves and hats for the homeless and would be nice to share these cards with more people to do the same and rejoice the life of another human being even for one day.
