Making Cards for Soldiers

Cards for Soldiers

B Inspired! ~ Saturday, May 22 ~ 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

   Please join me in making cards for soldiers in Afghanistan. Cards will be sent in care packages and can be blank for the soldiers to send back or thank you cards directly for the soldiers.
   A fellow CTMH consultant's husband was recently sent to Afghanistan - I mail these cards to her, and she includes them in the care packages she sends to her husband and fellow soldiers. But if you know of a local soldier, I'd love to give you some cards to mail to him/her too.
  Last time, I mailed almost 200 cards for the soldiers! I'd love to make this a regular event.
  For this event, I will supply all the paper for making the cards. Please bring your own cutters, tools and adhesive, if possible. I will also have a Cricut, stamps, inks, texture tools and more CTMH products available for use.
  Cards can be made anyway your creative powers take you, but keep in mind that if they are cards the  soldiers are mailing back, it would be nice for them to only have to use a regular postage stamp (not square cards or not too bulky cards). Also, if they are not the following size, please provide your own envelopes. All the cards I sent before were 4.25x5.5 inches.
  I will have instructions there for the 25-card workshop if you'd like to crank out a whole bunch of cards! You don't have to stay for the whole time - come for a few minutes to make a couple cards or a few hours to make a whole bunch of cards!
  If you can't make it to the scheduled event, please let me know. You can make cards on your own and mail them to me or we can arrange a time to meet. But just let me know by the 22nd that they are coming so I know to wait for them.
