A Card for Ukraine and Another Way to Help

"Love the idea of flooding IG and other social media with blue and yellow cards to show our support the crafty way. People might say "it's just a card", and I know it won't change the situation or end the war. But it might give someone who sees this a bit of hope and remind him/her, that the world cares and people try to help in every way they can. And if this happens, making this card was worth it!" #cardsforukraine #sharehandmadekindness #ukrainecarddrive


I copied the first paragraph from a post on the Share Handmade Kindness Facebook page because it says what I wanted to say perfectly. That group is also where I got the graphic to share. Here is my card: 


It is very simple in the blues and yellows of the Ukraine flag. The sunflowers (the national floral symbol and a huge part of their economy) were created with a Tonic Studios header die and the sentiment dies are from Dies...To Die For. 

Maksim Chmerkovskiy who is one of my favorite pros on Dancing With the Stars is in Ukraine right now and posted this website where we can safely donate money to help Humanitarian Efforts in Ukraine. It is sponsored by CNN and Public Good. As Maks said, they need more than just thoughts and prayers on the ground there. I donated what I could and hope you will too.
