There is a wonderful crafter, Beth (YT: Bethsscrapbookroom), who regularly hosts challenges for worthy causes. And especially during this season that should be dedicated to thankfulness, sharing, and generosity of spirit, I knew I wanted to participate in her latest cause–making birthday cards for kids staying at homeless shelters.
I made a handful of cards using some fun card bases and patterned papers in bright, bold colors. I had picked up a package of super cute dimensional robot stickers at the Dollar Tree and these were going to be perfect focal points for these cards.
Now all I had to do was find a free robot font (there are so many, just google free robot fonts) and think of some robot-y sayings to print out on my Canon PIXMA MX922 Wireless Color Photo Printer with Scanner, Copier and Fax
Next I thought I would make a couple of CAS cards using the awesome “Handwritten Borders” stamp set from Simon Says Stamp and the “Party Animal” dog balloon stamp from Avery Elle. In the following video, I share all the cards as well as a process tutorial for this last card. Even though this is a very simple looking card, there is fun stuff going on with Momento Luxe Love Letter red ink embossing, fussy cutting, and shiny dot sequins.  Hopefully whatever homeless child receives it will know that as they get one year older, someone is thinking of them. 🙂
The Party Animal Card is being entered into the following challenges:
