Tiny cards with big impact

We all need a little encouragement from time to time.  These adorable, mini cards, by my friend Sydney from UPWords, make it easy to spread a little bit of cheer.

The inspiration behind UPWords stems from Sydney’s faith background and the desire to help a friend in crisis.  She began by putting sticky notes all over the kitchen cabinet, then handmade some cards, which quickly evolved into UPWords with a focus on encouraging others through the power of words.

Encouragement is contagious

One of my favorite things about these wee little cards (slightly smaller than a standard business card) is that you can share your encouraging story that the card inspired; whether you sent it or perhaps received it.

I’m having trouble deciding which card I like best, but this “Celebrate” one below definitely makes my top three. How about you?  Keep reading to see how you can win the Mega Collection of cards.

How to win a Mega Collection of UPWords cards:

There are already a ton of encouraging words  in the UPWords collection, but Sydney is wondering if you have another  favorite encouraging word that she could add to her next batch of cards.

To enter your name in a draw for the Mega collection of cards (2o mini cards) simply leave your suggestion in the form of a comment on the blog and be eligible to win.

One winner will be randomly chosen from those who leave a blog comment suggesting an encouraging word. You have until March 21st  11:00 pm MST to enter.  One entry per person.  Have fun!

    I need to give myself more permission to REST, so that would be my word to add to the collection

    Hmmm this is a good one. What is encouraging? I keep coming back to Forgiveness. But also on my list are: Gentle, Blue skies, Hug, Giggle
    Nevertheless, I love these little cards – great to stick in a lunch bag, or slide onto a colleagues desk, or give to a librarian, clerk, etc at your fav places to frequent.

      Rhonda! Thanks for your list of encouraging words! Forgiveness IS a good one…the best for every person I think…he he. Blue Skies is very relaxing and I love Hug and Giggle too 🙂

      If you could, drop me a quick line on my web, as I’d like to say more about you comments on ideas to use the cards-thanks for your time!

      Glenda! SHINE is great! Oh yea! I do have a Sparkle one already…and one of my personal favorites (mostly because I love what is written on the inside! If you’d like, drop me a quick line & I’ll send you that one 🙂 Bloom seems so appropriate for spring 🙂

    Emotional Support or WISH
    I’d love these cards ~ it’s St Patricks Day ~ and I’m sad because today it the anniversary of my mother’s death.
    I no longer celebrate.

    • Barb

      Your word choices are powerful Bee. My heart goes out to you this very second. I hope for you, an unexpected reason to celebrate and cherish all the memories of your mom. xoxox

      Bee – thank you for sharing your words & heart 🙂 I agree about emotional support & I have found that to be a bigger need in people’s lives.

      E….thanks for helping out! I have awesome on the list for my next line of cards 🙂 I sure like amazing too. They are all good! 🙂

    Perhaps ‘Shake it up!’ as getting out of one’s everyday routine can often be beneficial. CUTE, CUTE cards – thanks for the opportunity! 🙂

    Hope, Home, Laugh, Friend, Soar
    When asked for positive words, my boys (11 and 7) suggested the following….
    God, Star (as in, ‘You are a Star!), Awesome, Crackalacka, Awes-mazing (combo of awesome and amazing!)

    • Barb

      I am loving all these word suggestions (and the creative boys authoring Crackalacka)! They make me laugh out loud, ‘smile’ and remember there is much to be hopeful for. Thank you Lisa, Eva, and Laura.

        Hi Lisa! I sure appreciate some new suggestions, and of course….LOVE when kids are involved. I sure like the Awe-mazing!
        I had a 9 year old give me the idea for my ‘Sparkle’ card 🙂 Thanks again!
