The possibilities are endless! One way to start might be with changing colors to more masculine tones. You can also use different images like boats, sports, or nature.

Supportive cards for those who have cancer
Masculine Cards
In honor of Father’s Day, we are requesting masculine cards. We recognize that it is easier to make bright color pretty cards that are more fit for a female, but we get a lot of card requests for males. So, what kind of masculine themed cards can you create? We hope this will exercise your crafting mind in a different way to come up with designs and combinations that are more fit for a male.

April Showers
Happy Spring! We are welcoming this weather with open arms after a long winter season. We want to help bring the spring weather to all our recipients who are unable to go outside and enjoy the warm weather. This month our challenge is to collect "April Showers" cards. This can include anything that reminds you of April shower weather (umbrellas, rain boots, clouds, or rainbows). We look forward to seeing your creativity.

National Craft Month-Embossign Challenge
Did you know that March is National Craft Month? As crafters who like to help others, we want to recognize your devotion and good will in donating cards for people facing cancer.
The challenge for March is a crafting technique that we love - embossing. Embossing is a method where paper is pressed to create a raised design in the paper. This technique can add a touch of elegance to a greeting card. We also encourage texture in our cards because it can be helpful for our elderly recipients who may have trouble with vision and seeing the detail in a card. Being able to touch and feel a card can make the impact even more powerful. Thank you all for putting your craft skills to a good cause! We're excited to see the embossing that you send our way!

Valentine's Theme
Thank you to all of our loyal blog followers as well as those of you who are new to our blog challenges! In the spirit of Valentine's month, this February we are looking for cards that incorporate the colors red and/or pink. We love our color theme challenges as you all bring us such exciting and unique designs. As our Bundles of Cheer program continues to grow, we hope to incorporate these cards with many of our packages to be distributed to cancer patients across the country.

Bundles of Cheer
November is when we launched Bundles of Cheer! As we continue to grow our organization, we strive to provide more for our recipients. Through all of your dedication, we will continue to send care packages in addition to our handmade cards. We could not have done it without all of you! This month, we challenge our supporters to gather travel-sized products for our Bundles of Cheer. We aim to ensure included items are practical and compact. Suggested donation items include handmade pillowcases, nail polish, lip balm, lotion, socks, toys, etc. The packages will be given to men, women and children so we welcome a diverse range of products. We also challenge our supporters to think of individuals within their own networks who may be able to provide items. We are always looking to expand our outreach so please spread the word!

Happy Birthday
Happy belated birthday to Card Care Connection! September marked our organization's fifth year of bringing joy and hope through inspirational messages to those affected by cancer, and in celebration, we are asking for donations of birthday themed cards for this month.
Birthday cards have an extensive history, a tradition developed over a century ago when messages of good will were exchanged to mark a special milestone. We challenge our cardmakers to continue bringing smiles and cheer to our recipients and look forward to receiving cards in recognition of our fifth birthday. Thank you to all of our supporters for your ongoing passion and creativity to providing encouragement and enriching the lives of those we serve.
