Cards for Soldiers Overseas

 It's been a busy past few days for me.  I put my card making into high gear as we have a box of cards that is almost full.  These cards are blank inside and each have an envelope.  We have a US military unit that is currently deployed to Afghanistan that we ship to.  This way they will have cards to send to their friends and families. 

Not all products used this time are from Stampin' Up!.   The card bases, envelopes, stamp sets, and accent card stock are all Stampin' Up! products.  The stickers and die-cuts are from other sources. 

When we send a box of cards, it typically contains 300 cards for many different types of occasions and thinking of you or note cards.

Another thing we do is re-purpose cards ... taking off the card fronts of used cards in good condition, and then making them into new cards.   We have also been fortunate to receive a number of brand new cards with envelopes (like you would buy at the store) to include in our shipments.  There are four of us that get together almost every week.   My heartfelt thanks goes to Maureen, Diane, and Joan for all that they do. 


Well, it's going to be a busy day for me.  I have class prep work to do for Friday.   Hope you all have a great day. 

Just a reminder that tomorrow (the 25th - Wednesday) Stampin' Up! will announce all products that will be retired.   I will post the list as soon as I can.  Remember these products are while supplies last only.  When they are gone, no more will be re-ordered.    You can also view the retired list by going to my website, click on SHOP NOW, then click on Retiring Products.   Stamp sets that are retiring are already listed, but the other products will post on Wednesday.   If you wait too long, you may miss out.

You may order from my Stampin' Up! website 24/7 by CLICKING HERE, then click on Shop Now or by contacting me directly. My e-mail link is at the top of the screen.
