Caring Hearts Card Drive 2016



Today we are posting about the Caring Hearts Card Drive! This card drive is organized by Vera Yates & Jennifer McGuire with the goal to collect holiday cards for the elderly that lives in nursing home. During this time many of the elderly who lives in nursing homes would really feel the loneliness or missing their family. Wouldn't it be so awesome if we can bring a smile to their face & brighten their holiday season simply by sharing our love of card making? A simple gesture to let them know that they are not forgotten.

Cat Holiday card by Jennifer Jackson | Ornamental Newton Stamp Set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook

Since this blog hop is all about holiday cards I wanted to share a fun Holiday card today using our Ornamental Newton stamp set. I used the image of the cute kitty, hugging a giant holiday ornament! This image is so fun to color - you can make the kitty and ornament any combination of colors to go with your card. For this card I used Zig Clean Color Markers and did a quick watercolor with bright tones of lime green, pink and yellow with orange for the kitty (our real life Newton is an orange kitty). Then I cut the image out using the coordinating Ornamental Newton Die Set and added a bit of lime green twine around the ornament top.

To create the card, I used a white cardstock base, added a panel of green and a strip of striped pink paper to go with the color of the ears on the kitty! Then I added a lime green doily and a strip of dark pink washi tape. I added the kitty on top with some dimensional adhesive. For the sentiment, I stamped the "Big Holiday Wishes, also from the our Ornamental Newton stamp set and cut it out with a circle die to add it to the card.

Cat & Snowman Christmas card by Jennifer Jackson | Newton's Curious Christmas Stamp Set by Newton's Nook Designs

Since this blog hop is all about holiday cards I wanted to share a fun Holiday card today using our Newton's Curious Christmas stamp set. I used the image of the cute kitty, peeking around the snowman at the little bird! I just love this image - it's so fun to color. I colored it with distress markers and a water brush. Then I added on the "merry and bright" sentiments from our Holiday Wishes stamp set. This set is such an essential holiday set because you can mix and match so many fun sentiments!

To create the card, I used a kraft colored cardstock base, added a panel of embossed light green paper and some gold striped washi tape. I added on a kraft colored doiley tucked behind the image and then finished it off with some red twine and a button. I love how this turned out!

Bear with Gifts Christmas Card by Jennifer Jackson for Newton's Nook Designs - Winston's Home for Christmas Stamp set

Since this blog hop is all about holiday cards I wanted to share a fun Winston Holiday card today. I used the image of our bear, Winston, from the Winston's Home for Christmas stamp set - just released a few weeks ago. This image of the bear in his car heading your way to bring holiday cheer is one of my favorite images to color in this set! For this card, I colored the image with distress ink markers  and a waterbrush on watercolor paper.


To create the card, I used a red cardstock base, added some stripy blue paper that matched the color I colored the car and then stamped the "all hearts come home for christmas sentiment, also from the Winston's Home for Christmas stamp set. I also added some sequins - just because they always make the card look pretty!
