That's wonderful of everyone sending cards. We should put all our local rest homes in a place to be on a list for cards. I know what a difference it could make. They would love to know people are interested in them.
I live in the largest retirement community in the world. We have over 130,000 retirees living an active lifestyle. We have many assisted living and nursing homes near us.
@sharrondaniel7847 - please feel free to contact me and I would be happy to send out a box of my hand made cards. You are right there is nothing as nice as receiving a lovely card.
So happy to see you looked forward to seeing your plan for today fantastic as usual thank you for all that you do. loved your cards and techniques 💜💜💜💐💐💐💐
Thank you so much! I wasnt sure I’d get it done. The storms yesterday were pretty wicked and this was only a tropical storm! Roads will be a mess today. Oh well! The grass appreciates the rain! 😂
I think it is great that so many sent cards. I also sent some and will sent some more. Like your card!! I have used the Geli plate and it worked fine for me. I also got a sticky mat from amazon 6.5x8.5 Grip Mat with Printed Guides,Multi-Use Non-Slip Sticky Mats Fit in original-size Stamp Positioning Tool,Photopolymer Mat for Centering & Aligning Tape-free Stenciling Ink Blending and it works great also. I can put it in my stamping platform also. It was only $13.00
I have done this technique before and found that I got great results when I put cardstock on both sides of the stencil. 2 for 1!! Additional results can be gained by using alcohol ink on the stencil, then lightly spritzing the stencil with alcohol before running the sandwich through the die cut machine.
I have a geli plate but I haven't tried it for a sticky mat. I just use my hands and hold it down ha ha (yep..I get inky!) ;) You almost persuade me to get on FB. I use to be on there years and years ago, but it ended up being a time waster for me. I had to remove myself for my own sanity. 😂 PS I like your Pooh poster, I have Underdog in my craft room. **and by room I mean the pit of despair aka the unfinished basement. hehhehee
Have you used a Gelli plate as a sticky mat? Did it work for you?
Works well for me. Much better than silicone mats. And I get the added bonus of having ink already on the plate when I go to print with it again.
What a cute card. I love when people go above and beyond, that made me smile that everyone sent those cards to the nursing home. Thank you Heidi.
Thank you so much!😊

@@villagecardandcrafts do you live in Florida by chance?
@kristinekerr3688 yes! Central Florida
I donate and / or give away 98% of my cards. It's great satisfaction.
That’s terrific! 💕
I haven't used the embossed stencil technique in quite some time so thank you so much for the reminder! You, too, are pho-nomenal!
Awwww thank you! 😊
I’ve always donated my cards. Then I can just make more to give!❤❤❤
Great attitude!! You are spreading love! ❤️
