I am proud to be participating in the
Hug A Heart Card Drive Blog Hop
Hug A Heart Card Drive Blog Hop
PURPOSE OF THE CARD DRIVE:
The purpose of this card drive, which runs from 1/16/17 to 2/14/17, is to help collect handmade heart theme cards (non-Valentine’s Day) such as Thinking of You, Hello or Just Because cards for many of the Heart Center patients at Nationwide Children’s Hospital during February’s American Heart Month. Each card you make will bring heartwarming encouragement to all who are affected by heart disease – patients, families, and hospital staff.
“THANK YOU” PRIZES GIVEAWAY:
To thank you for your participation and generous gift of cards, Christina has several prize packages to give away. To be considered for the prize drawing, please be sure to include a form with your full name, email address and mailing address when mailing in your box/package of cards.
- Prize Package #1 (all participants) – everyone that sends in cards will receive a freebie of this Heart Panda digi set by Christina herself!
- Prize Package #2 (U.S. participants only) – to two random winners, a box of brand new craft goodies, each value $25.
- Prize Package #3 (International participants only) - to two random winners, a $25 gift certificate to shop at Simon Says Stamp.
- Platinum package (all participants): to 1 participant with 30+ donated cards, a $50 gift certificate to Simon Says Stamps.
IMPORTANT GUIDELINES FOR CARD DONATIONS
- Hug a Heart card drive is opens to both U.S. and International participants. Anyone is welcome to help make the cards, including young children and grandchildren.
- This card drive runs from 1/16/17 to 2/14/17 but any cards received after February will always be given to heart patients
- Card Types: handmade cheerful “heart” theme (non-Valentine’s Day) cards such as Thinking of You, Hello, or Just Because cards for children between ages of 1 to 19. As long there are hearts on the cards, it counts.
- Greetings (Sentiments) on your card front is optional. But if you do include one, here are some suggestions: sending hugs, sending smiles, thinking of you, wishing you a beautiful day, or hello. NO Valentine’s Day greetings please.
- Inside of cards: Please do not stamp or write inside the card. Keep it completely blank so hospital staff may write a personal message to each individual patient. If using a dark colored card base, please adhere a white or light colored piece of card stock to the inside of card to make it easier for patients to read the hand-written message.
- Card size: please try to keep it to an A2 size card (finished 4.25”x5.5”).
- Back of cards: This is completely optional. You may include a label “handmade by + your name + Hug a Heart Card Drive 2017” to the back of your card. It can be a hand-written, stamped or small computer printout label.
- Please include an envelope for each card. Do not seal the envelope.
- Please do not use loose glitter as it will get on hands and into eyes.
- Please keep embellishments to a minimum and avoid using any that might be unsafe for young children.
- Mail your box/package to: Christina Hor, P.O. Box 517, Dublin, Ohio 43017
- Please package your cards in a box or padded envelope to ensure they arrive undamaged.
