There are lots of layers in this card, however, I am sure that you will enjoy creating it and then giving it to someone.  How often do you create cards and then set them aside to collect duct.

Here are a few ideas for what o do with these cards that don’t find a home:

• Donate them to a Retirement Residence so that the residents can use them for family, friends.  Over the last couple of years, isolation as been hard for them to deal with..
• Send them to thank First Responders for their hard work.  It’s important to look after their mental health. They would love to hear from you.
• Send them out yourself.  Why would you go to the  trouble of making beautiful cards and then let them sit and  collect dust.

This week, challenge yourself to identify 10 people to send your cards to and then “JUST DO IT”.  #makeacardsendacard.
