Cards for Causes

I know many of you like to have your women’s groups do various things for causes.  Here’s a few ways that you can have fun stamping and contribute to a good cause at the same time.

Ronald McDonald Charity
Each year Stampin’ Up! designs a stamp set to help raise money for Ronald McDonald House Charities.  When you purchase this stamp set, $2.00 of the retail price goes toward Ronald McDonald House Charities.

    See a flyer of this year’s Very Thankful stamp set.

Cards for the Military.
Many of you have your women’s groups make cards for the Military each year and some of you have personal ministries in which you do this.  I was so excited that in the new Stampin’ Up! catalog, there are a few stamp sets that are perfect for this purpose.

Service & Sacrifice is item# 115992, page 67 in the catalog.

Check out the other military stamps on page 67 of the catalog.

Be sure to follow guidelines and tips from the US Post Office for sending mail to our troops.

Cancer Awareness
I’ve been contacted through the last several years by so  many of you who are making a difference by participating in the Relay for Life and getting your women’s ministries involved in other cancer awareness events.  In the new Stampin’ Up! catalog there is a perfect ribbon stamp for this called, Ribbon of Hope. 

What’s great is that you can use any ink color on this  so you can target any type of awareness.  It’s one of our $10 and under stamps so it’s a great bargain as well.  The retail price is $7.95.

Item #115566, page 208 in the catalog.

Cards for Sick Children
Another cause that I know is dear to some of your hearts is sending cards to sick children, especially those that have to endure long hospital stays.  Stampin’ Up! has some great stamps suitable for children.  You’ll find a whole “Growing Up” section in the catalog.

This card is pictured on page 60 of the catalog and features the Wellness Wishes stamp set, Item #115356.

   View the “Growing Up” Section of the catalog.
