Card Drive for Emma!!

IMG_0385



Hi Dreamers!
Today I will be sharing the 6 cards I made for Emma.  Kelly Bertram is hosting this card drive for 7 year old Emma who has Leukemia and will be going through treatment over the next two years.  Kelly would like to collect enough cards to give Emma a card each week throughout her treatment.  Check out all the details on Kelly's Blog here.  

Let's look at the cards!





I used a variety of cute stamps to make these cheerful cards.  Emma's favorite colors are green, purple, and blue.  I stuck with those colors for the most part.  But, how could I make cards for a little girl without using pink??!  I could not.  LOL   All the images are  colored with Copic Markers.






  • Penny Black stamp and Debbie Mum DP






  • Stampavie Stamp and Debbie Mum DP






  • My Favorite Things stamp and Debbie Mum DP



  • My Favorite Things stamp and Debbie Mum DP




  • My Favorite Things stamp and My Mind's Eye DP




  • Stamps Happen stamp and Debbie Mum DP

The cards will go out in the mail on Friday.  Kelly will collect the cards and hand deliver them to Emma's family.  I could go with lots of layers and ribbons since I didn't have to worry about them going through the mail individually.  That's the way I like it!  LOL  Sometimes you really have to rein in the bumpiness for mailing considerations.   Check out Kelly's blog if you would like to make a few cards for Emma!!
Kelly and a bunch of her friends are having a blog hop to spread the word about this card drive.  The first stop is Amy's blog.
