Holiday Mail for Heros

This is such a great idea and I believe in it so much that for every event that I hold between now and Christmas, you can make an extra card for the troops and I'll send them in!  Can't make it to one of my Stampin' Up! events and live close by?  Then feel free to drop your card(s) by and I'll include it with the rest. 

Below is the post from the Red Cross.  Make sure to watch the video!  You'll be getting those Stampin' Up! stamps out and start getting those cards done just like me! What a wonderful way to give back to our heroic folks in the military!

 

Holiday Mail for Heroes

From the front lines to the home front, the American Red Cross provides service members, their families and veterans with the care and assistance they need.

The Red Cross is partnering with Pitney Bowes this holiday season for the Holiday Mail for Heroes campaign. For the second year in a row, we’re collecting holiday cards to distribute to American service members, veterans and their families in the United States and around the world. Pitney Bowes is generously donating technology, resources and postage to make this holiday card program possible.

Our goal is to collect and distribute one million holiday cards to spread holiday cheer and facilitate thanks to these brave individuals and families.

Please send cards to this address, following the guidelines listed below:

Holiday Mail for Heroes
PO Box 5456
Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456

You can also:

• Download and print a free card.
• Learn about other ways to participate.
• Get the latest news about Holiday Mail for Heroes.
• Watch a video from Red Cross Celebrity Cabinet Members, Dr. Phil and Nancy O'Dell.

Card Guidelines

Please follow these guidelines when mailing a card to ensure that your card will quickly reach service members, veterans and their families. Every card received will first be screened for hazardous materials by Pitney Bowes and then reviewed by Red Cross volunteers working in one of 16 sorting stations around the country.

• All cards must be postmarked no later than Wednesday, December 10, 2008. Cards sent after this date will be returned to sender.
• Participants are encouraged to limit the number of cards they submit to 25 from any one person or 50 from any one class or group. If you are mailing a larger quantity, please bundle the cards and place them in large mailing envelopes. Each card does not need its own envelope or postage. 
• Please ensure that all cards are signed.
• Please use generic salutations such as “Dear Service Member.” Cards addressed to specific individuals can not be delivered through this program.
• Please send cards as opposed to long letters which delay a quick review process.
• Please do not include email or home addresses on the cards, as the program is not meant to foster pen pal relationships.
• Please do not include inserts of any kind, including photos, as these items will be removed during the reviewing process.
• All cards received may be used in program publicity efforts, including appearing in broadcast, print or online mediums.

Where to Send Phone Cards, Gift Cards and Care Packages:

• Phone cards or gift cards will not be accepted with the holiday cards. Those wishing to send calling cards or gift cards/certificates should go to www.aafes.com, scroll down to "AAFES Community Connection" and click on "Help Our Troops Call Home" or "Gift Cards/Certificates for Our Troops" in order to send such items.
• No 'Care Packages' will be accepted at this address. Those wishing to send care packages should go to www.AmericaSupportsYou.com and click under "Homefront Groups" to find out how to send care packages.

Blogger's Challenge #72 - The Same but Different featuring Stampin' Up!'s "Cheers to You"

This week's challenge was a fun one.  We could either make two cards using the same layout with different stamps or use the same stamp in different layouts.  I chose the first option.  The stamps that I used come from Stampin' Up!  The set is called "Cheers to You". 

While at our annual Stampin' Up! convention this past summer, we were shown how to create a spiral card.  Needless to say, we all went nuts over them!  I showed one that I made at one of my technique clubs last night and one of the gals suggested that I teach this class.  So, I'm going to do just that.  Once the holidays are over, beginning in January, stay tuned for my "Over the Top Card Series".  I'll post details a bit later in the season.  Don't ya just love a tease?
