In a world where small gestures matter, a handmade card can brighten someone's entire day. Whether it’s a child in the hospital, a senior in a care home, or a healthcare hero after a long shift—your creativity has the power to uplift hearts.
Cardz for Kidz + Cards for a Cause is a nonprofit organization that collects and distributes heartfelt handmade cards to people in need of encouragement all over the world. With expanded reach and delivery to more places than ever before, your cards can now touch even more lives.
Being hospitalized or isolated can be especially hard for children and older adults. A colorful card with a kind message can be a powerful reminder that someone cares.
At Bella Carta Design, we’re proud to support this mission—and we know that crafters like you can make a huge impact. Using your crafting skills and cutting machine, you can create one-of-a-kind cards that bring real comfort and joy.
Don’t forget the caregivers! Healthcare workers and support staff often go the extra mile, and your cards can be a touching reminder of how appreciated they are.
Your handmade notes can boost morale and offer encouragement to those working behind the scenes to keep others safe and well.
Ready to make a difference with your Cricut? Here's how you can join the mission:
Design & Create
Use your SVG templates to make cheerful, uplifting cards. Personal touches—bright colors, encouraging words, fun characters—go a long way. Keep messages positive and avoid references to illness or religion. Cards should be family-friendly and suitable for all ages.
Tip: Our Hugging Heart Card is a great one to get started with. It is super easy to cut and glue and will definitely put a smile on someone’s face.
