Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I have a special card to share with you …. Did you know that July 11th is Cheer Up the Lonely Day. My card features the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set and the Soft Pastels, plus I used the Blender Pens to add the color to the petals.

Whether it’s a close friend, family member, old neighbor, new classmate, parent, child, or anybody else in your life, if you know anyone who is lonely or going through a tough time, surprise them today with a visit, a hug, or a card! A small act of kindness can make a big difference.

A close up of my card to show the Wink of Stella … because we all like a little sparkle every now and then to lift the spirits. Today’s soft colors and simple layout will be easy to recreate and will touch the heart of your recipient. We are all in this world together, yet going through things most don’t even know about, so lets all reach out today … you know they say that a card is a hug, folded in the middle ❤

Use this day to also express gratitude to anyone who’s ever reached out to you while you when struggling.  I wish you a wonderful day.

Thank you for joining me today ~

Here are the items that I used to create today’s cards ….
