Card Drive for Kids with Spina Bifida Blog Hop


Good morning! Please join us for a Card Drive for Kids with Spina Bifida blog hop! Members of Gina K.'s Design Team have come together to host a hop where we will share with you cards we created for some very special kids! You can find more details on this special cause over at StampTV.

If you came from Suzanne's blog, you're at the right place. If not make sure to head over to StampTV where you will find a list of all those participating in today's hop and more information on the card drive.

Blog Hop Details:

  • Create a fun, uplifting card or cards for one or all the kids listed below (you can click on their names to read more about each of them). The card can be anything cheery, encouraging, supportive, etc. Please DO NOT send sorry, get well or anything like that. Remember, we want to cheer them up. The kids:

  • All cards need to have a message in it for the child/family. Please also sign your name and where you are from. On the card envelope, write the name of the child. Please, don't seal the envelope, as the parents might want to read the cards before the kids see them.
  • Cards must be received by October 31st to be eligible for the drawing for the prize (info on the below).
  • Mail your card(s) to Giovana along with a piece of paper with your name, address, e-mail address and blog (if you have one). This will help to contact the winner a lot faster:

I made this card for Giovana's daughter Rebekah, using Theresa Momber's "Celebrate the Season". After coloring the butterflies with Copics R22, R32, R85, R26, R69, I traced them with a pink Sakura Glitter pen.

The color gradient of these swatches are made from Gina K Pure Luxury "pink" shades, from top to bottom: Just Peachy, Innocent Pink, Bubblegum Pink, and Passionate Pink. Hope this gives you a good idea of these true colors if there are any you've been thinking about adding to your collection! Card also uses White and Black Onyx. Images are popped up with foam dots and accented with adhesive rhinestones.

Now please head on over to Lee Murphy's blog to see what she's sharing with you today!
