The Domestic Nest Blog

I wish I’d come across this website sooner, but it’s never too late to spread HOPE!

Hope is in the cards was started to spread hope all over the U.S.

September 1-7 was designated “week of hope,” a week when people are encouraged to mail notes of hope to each other. Some retailers have offered free postage or free products to support week of hope. Cardstore.com has extended their offer of a free card through September 8th due to such an overwhelming response.

I made these postcard sized cards that you can download here by clicking on the photo below.

I’m printing these out on cardstock and mailing them to friends this week. They can be mailed alone as a postcard, or they fit into A2 sized envelopes. Don’t forget to write HOPE on the back of the envelope!

I HOPE you have a happy day!

Just in case you sew, and you’d like to make the celebration banner in your favorite colors, click on the button below to download the pattern and tutorial. If you make one, please let me know. I want to hear about your crafting adventures!

Also, if you have ANY tips for me to improve the pattern or tutorial, please share them with me through comments or e-mail me at info [at] domesticnest [dot] com. I’m always open to new ideas and I want the instructions to be easy to use! Happy sewing.

If you don’t sew and you want one, there’s always the giveaway.
