There is care and attention in every detail. No two are ever the same, because they are not manufactured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Card making is for kids and adults alike. A perfect accompaniment to social distancing, card making provides a creative release of your feelings, and card sending provides a way to show you care. And the creating process of card making is just as wonderful as the receiving process of a homemade card. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thinking Of You Cards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"756\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201611-1-1.jpg?resize=800%2C756&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Thinking of You Notecard in Balmy Blue, cardmkaing for social distancing.\" class=\"wp-image-680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201611-1-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C968&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201611-1-1.jpg?resize=300%2C284&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201611-1-1.jpg?resize=768%2C726&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201611-1-1.jpg?resize=1536%2C1452&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201611-1-1.jpg?w=1836&amp;ssl=1 1836w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201611-1-1.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>The stamp set, Flourishing Phrases, item # 141534, and some (retired) Gingham Gala DSP add beauty to the Balmy Blue note card.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re like me, you love sending Christmas cards, and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"birthday cards (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/birthdays-are-for-everyone\/\" target=\"_blank\">birthday cards<\/a>. Maybe you&#8217;ve sent sympathy or get well cards, as I have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you thought about sending &#8220;thinking of you cards&#8221;? If your reaction is, &#8220;that seems too ordinary&#8221;, you are not alone. But in <em>extraordinary <\/em>times of social distancing, &#8220;thinking of you&#8221; card making seems like the perfect choice to let someone know they are on your mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From my experience, people love getting cards in the mail. The walk (or sometimes drive) to the mailbox is worth it when there is a delivery of  &#8216;happy mail&#8217;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I believe that cards are like little presents.When I get a card, I am excited to open that envelope and see what is inside, a mini gift just for me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inspirational Cards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"730\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201614a-1-1.jpg?resize=800%2C730&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Inspirational Note Card in Old Olive, cardmaking for social distancing.\" class=\"wp-image-683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201614a-1-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C935&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201614a-1-1.jpg?resize=300%2C274&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201614a-1-1.jpg?resize=768%2C702&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201614a-1-1.jpg?resize=1536%2C1403&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201614a-1-1.jpg?w=1781&amp;ssl=1 1781w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201614a-1-1.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>A wonderful phrase from the stamp set, Enjoy Life, item # 148190, and some Best Dressed DSP in Daffodil Delight, item # 151319, make this Old Olive note card naturally gorgeous.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone needs inspiration. You have the great ability to provide inspiration to someone else. Your habits of  inspiring may include texting or a phone call, or a post on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But when you send a card that inspires, the words and thoughts shared are like a touchstone. The physical presence of your card is a visual reminder that can be held, speaking comfort at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is great inspiration to draw on when creating your homemade cards. You can look to online sources for similar renderings. Some cardmakers look at catalogs or magazines for ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And there are crafters who just look out the window. Perhaps the greatest inspiration of all is nature. I ask you to be inspired to create, but more importantly, be excited to share!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thank You Cards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"836\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201613a-1-1.jpg?resize=800%2C836&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Thank You Note Card in Terracotta Tile, cardmaking for social distancing.\" class=\"wp-image-682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201613a-1-1.jpg?resize=980%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 980w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201613a-1-1.jpg?resize=287%2C300&amp;ssl=1 287w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201613a-1-1.jpg?resize=768%2C802&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201613a-1-1.jpg?resize=1470%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1470w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201613a-1-1.jpg?w=1765&amp;ssl=1 1765w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201613a-1-1.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>Even though this card doesn&#8217;t say &#8220;thank you&#8221; on the outside, it certainly could on the inside. I stamped this Terracotta Tile note card with Special Celebrations stamp set, item # 143885, and Love What You Do stamp set, item # 148042. The DSP that adds a splash of color comes from Sampler, item # 154050.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am a firm believer that the world needs more &#8216;thank you&#8217;s&#8217;. In troubled times, we tend to be more thankful for what we <em>do<\/em> have, and taking things for granted typically takes a backseat. There is no better way to say &#8216;thank you&#8217; then with a card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even with social distancing, you may need to thank someone. Maybe you received a flower delivery. Perhaps someone kindly shoveled snow from your driveway, or graciously left a basket of cookies on your front porch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We still manage kind acts, even at times like these when we keep our distance for health and safety. Thank you cards are also a kind act, in reciprocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cards Sent With Love<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"695\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201612-1-1.jpg?resize=800%2C695&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sending Love Note Card in light pink, cardmaking for social distancing.\" class=\"wp-image-681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201612-1-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C889&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201612-1-1.jpg?resize=300%2C260&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201612-1-1.jpg?resize=768%2C667&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201612-1-1.jpg?resize=1536%2C1334&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201612-1-1.jpg?w=1836&amp;ssl=1 1836w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201612-1-1.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>This lovely note card in light pink clearly states that is is sent with love, per the stamp set, Inspiring Iris, item #149268. Petal Pink DSP from Pleased As Punch, item # 153558 is the perfect compliment in sweetness.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now this may sound silly, but can you imagine a card sent without love? It would make more sense to not send a card at all if that were the case. So, does that mean that <em>not<\/em> sending a card equals the opposite of love?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Homemade cards have extra love built right in. When someone takes the time to craft a card, they love the act of providing from the heart. It is my practice to choose colors or a theme <em>especially<\/em> for the intended recipient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Love is in the details, love is in the sending, and love is most definitely in the receiving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sharing Cards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cards are meant to be shared. As a cardmaker, I often have lots of cards on hand, because making them is fun, and craft therapy, and somewhat addictive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> But now, more than ever, is the best time to share cards. Did you know that you can share a card that lets the recipient share that same card with someone else? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of signing the inside of your card, I encourage you to attach a short poem inside. Either of these lovely poems can be <a href=\"https:\/\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/mainely-stamping-merits-2\/card-insert-poems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"viewed or printed here (opens in a new tab)\">viewed or printed here<\/a>, and give the card receiver a message to care and share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> I encourage you to create a card, put a stamp on that envelope, and pop that homemade card in the post! Brighten someone&#8217;s day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"675\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201609-1.jpg?resize=800%2C675&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Aqua Painter\" class=\"wp-image-674\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201609-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201609-1.jpg?resize=300%2C253&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201609-1.jpg?resize=768%2C648&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201609-1.jpg?resize=1536%2C1297&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201609-1.jpg?w=1836&amp;ssl=1 1836w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/0324201609-1.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>I couldn&#8217;t decide which postage stamps I liked better to dress up my envelopes for mailing, so I bought both.
