Hi there! Today I’m sharing a card that I made for the Share Handmade Kindness challenge that my talented, kind & tremendously generous friend Jennifer McGuire is hosting over on her blog. I was completely blown away when I received this amazing package from Jennifer. Her thoughtfulness and creativity is inspiring. I am excited to play along this week and send out some happy mail to my family & friends.
I couldn’t wait to play with this fun new Acts of Kindness stamp set by Hero Arts. I think it’s just awesome that Hero Arts is donating donating 25% of the profits from these stamps to the Kind Campaign to support their efforts in ending bullying.
I embossed the envelope images in clear and painted over them using distress inks.
Here’s a video to show you how I created my card.
As you can see, my family is excited to be a part of the challenge, too…well, most of them are excited, ha!
I hope you’ll join in sharing handmade kindness and make sure you link up your project over on Jennifer’s blog. She is giving away some awesome prizes, too!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

You have such a beautiful family! Truly a blessing, Laura! Love your card! Fun, happy colors! ♥
Love the video. Charlie and Emma have really grown since they narrated one of your holiday cards (2 years ago?).
No hammy hubs on the vid?? I was looking forward to hearing him there!
😀 you have a sweet family Laura! and you make me wish I had your addy because I would SOOoooo send you a card! 😀
(and you KNOW it would have a rainbow feel to it!! :D)
Your kiddos are growing up so fast! I can see a hint of excitement in everyone of their eyes…even that one that has his “smolder” on!
Love this card! Love your rainbow style! Thanks for doing a video! Your family is so cute!
Another awesome post. Lovely smiles all around. Sweet card.
Loved the card you made Laura…and your adorable family!!!!
so wonderful!
Your card is AMAZING! Love it! Your family is pretty cute too! 😉
So fun! Fabulous card, Laura!
Awesome card, Laura! Thanks so much for sharing this video so we could get to see your lovely family! I can’t get over how much Emma has grown…WOW!
What a wonderful video! Your card is adorable…and you always know how to make people smile!
Soooooooooooooooooo nice to meet your wonderful family!! Why didn’t your hubs say anything?? Thought you said he was a ham!! You even have my favorite kind of cat!! Many blessings to you and the Fam Ms. Laura
AWWWWW – I new you had to be part of a wonderful family since you’re so much fun to watch but loved hearing from your kids – Dad must have had to leave to deliver his card immediately, right?
The card looks just like you colorful and beautiful. I know by that extraordinarily good-looking family and the fact that they’re all so sweet, that you and your man have done a wonderful job raising them. Can’t believe how tall your oldest boy is getting. Wonder why the Mister didn’t get in the video…was it his shy day?
What a fun card! Nice to see your family too.
This is such a cute card and your family is great.
Awww, what a GREAT family you have, Laura, this video really warmed my heart! Your card is fabulous (you just keep doing the same thing over and over if you want to because you’ve figured out the “secret” formula to making fabulous card lol!) I also had to chuckle about you buying the mini cubes because I’m in the same boat right now, I have most of the full size pads but I really really want those minis 😉
What a great photo of your family Laura!! I LOVE that card you created with the stamps too. I cannot wait to get my hands on this stamp set!!
Love your card design and the comments from your sweet family!
Love your card. And I have a few fall-back designs, too. Makes life easier, and I’m quite lazy. 🙂
It’s so great your family is involved, too!
Wonderful card, and how wonderful for you to get the whole hee-haw gang involved!!!
Laura, your card is amazing, and happy as always. Your family has to be part of lot more videos, they are so funny! Thanks for sharing.
Love your fun card. And thank you for sharing your family with all of us. Now that’s KINDNESS.
Laura, I love your videos, your quirky sense of humor and of course your cards. Well now I love your family too. Adorable video!
Cutest darn card! Love it. I’m guilty of not sending out my cards too. I was on 3 design teams for a few years, so was making cards all the time and not sending them out. Now I have a few boxes full of them and have finally started using them. Might just give some of them to people for the Share Handmade Kindness Challenge. What a great family you have, wonderful that they have all gotten involved. Thanks for another great video!
Love this card! And love your videos! 😊
I didn’t think anyone could outdo you in your craft videos, but your sweet kids win this round! And the card is fabulous too. I gave in on the distress minis a while back, and now I want to get painting.
How lovely that your whole family is getting involved. I think it is wonderful and so are you 😍
Gorgeous – the card, you Laura and your sweet kids. Great job!
Love to see your whole family! Great job! 🙂
Great video and card. Love the family participation……. great job kids…it is such a great program ……… thank you
Two thumbs up for your charming video and lovely card! Kind hugs to your whole family! 🙂

Love this card and your family is hilarious! I want to break down and get all the mini distress inks too, but I just invested in the big ones within the last year. Oh well. Thanks for sharing.
Laura – you did receive a very nice box of goodies from Jennifer. Your family looks like they are ready to jump in with both feet. It is fun that they all are inches spreading kindness campaign with you. That is a very lovely card. Them little envelopes on your card are very pretty!
Oh, I love this so very much! Thanks, for sharing your art, your family, and, your humor. XO

Beautiful family! Thanks for sharing the photo. I love all your family stories during your vidoes.
Thanks, Laura. Always love your videos. Your family is gorgeous. You must be so proud of all of them. (I’m still resisting the minis, but it’s getting more difficult, since I don’t have all the colors yet.. I love that tin! haha)
Wonderful card and as usual hilarious video. What a beautiful family.
What a wonderful idea to get the whole family involved in sharing kindness, Laura. And what a beautiful family it is,too.
I always love your videos, and I loved “meeting” a few of your beautiful children! Thank you for sharing.
Love this card almost as much as I love that darling picture of your family, which I loved almost as much as the video of your family!!! Oh, my…you are so blessed!
Wonderful card design! I had to pin it and can’t wait to create a card using your idea! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
It was very fun to hear from the family you talk about in your videos! What an awesome bunch!!!
LOVE the card. How fun 🙂
Such an amazing, beautiful and blessed family! Might have to buy this set just so I can make this cute card!
Oh, I tried to watch this earlier but my iPhone just wasn’t cooperating! So glad that I finally got to see the entire video–love it!! Love the Bassens and my favorite Bassen…..Charlie!
I don’t know if I’m more delighted in seeing how you made your card or watching your beautiful family tell us how they plan to share joy. I’m thinking it is you family that will put a smile on my face all day! Thanks so much for sharing.
Laura, that’s a fantastic card. Thanks for sharing and inspiring us all to share our passion and our kindness!
What a great clan! Love your card and seeing your gorgeous kids ham it up:)
Is Alex taller than you now? Sophia has me beat at 12 years old. I am grateful, short is such a disadvantage!
