Cards for Our Servicemen and Servicewwomen

Please come join us to make cards that will be sent to troops stationed in the US and abroad. Our words of encouragement and appreciation mean so much to them. Often, these cards are all the correspondence they get. Help us put a smile on a serviceman/servicewoman's face.

We will make 4 cards of 4 designs, totaling 16 cards each. There is nothing special for you to buy unless you want to. We will be guiding you through the card-making step-by-step. After they are completed, cards should be mailed to Lisa. She will be responsible for taking them to the distribution center where our cards will be packaged and mailed. Imagine the smile that will then ensue!

Below is a list of some supplies that will be helpful in making the cards. If you have stamps, dies, stencils, or other tools that you would like to use, gather them along with your normal crafting tools.

Examples will be coming of the 4 card designs.

Cardstock: White, Red, Blue, Kraft (or light brown or tan), Gold Foil
