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 definitely send these cards to my best friend and her mother. My best friend has a daughter that is oh so creative adn I know they enjoy opening cards adressed to them. I would send them to her mom because she is a fellow crafter (quilts, mod podge ouzzles, etc).

I'd give the set to my "big sister" (she's my best friend, but she calls me her little sister, so…). She just lost her "fur-baby" and is heartbroken. Actually, I might give them to her husband so he can post notes around the house for her.

I REALLY love the inspiration behind these cards, and LOVE even more, that you're donating a portion of your proceeds, to an anti-bullying organization!! As the mother of a child, that has fallen victim to bullying in the past, I can certainly appreciate this cause, bc I've also seen firsthand, just how powerful a kind word can be!!
I think these would be AWESOME in Jacob's lunchbox, so I'd love to enter your giveaway!! That said, if I were fortunate enough to win, I'd love to share the extra set with my sister, Julie!! She's an OR nurse, and I think she could really take her patients minds off their impending surgery, with a few kind words 🙂
