POSTAL: A BLESSED YEAR: Christian Card Mega-Swap

StampinGoodDeeds · 10-05-2011, 04:58 AM

I love the Lord and love to send cards with scripture or encouragement in each one. Not only to family and friends, but also as RAKs to children or adults facing challenges such as cancer or medical issues, tough times in their lives, etc.

Let’s start the year off right ready to meet every opportunity the Lord provides to encourage others and share His Word!

DUE DATE: 2/15/12 (extended from 2/1/12)

REQUIREMENTS:
- Each card must have scripture or a Christian quote or image. They may be stamped or computer printed, but not handwritten.
- Envelopes NOT required for standard A2 size – if you make cards a different size, please include the envelope if they don’t fit in an A2 envelope.
- Must have at least two layers of quality cardstock/DSP, and at least one embellishment.
- No handwritten or hand-drawn items please.
- Images/stamping must be complete and well-inked. Please only send neat, complete, quality work that you would be proud of, nothing faded or incomplete.
- Items that do not meet the requirements will be returned unswapped.

QUANTITY: 3+1 for each spot. You may have as many spots as you like as long as you make different cards for each spot.

There are LOTS of groups so be sure to read through the next few posts to see them all and let me know which you want to do!

MAILING: PM me when you are ready to send, and for my address, and post here when you have mailed. Also post please when you receive.
Be sure to put in plastic bags, separate bags for each spot please and label each bag with your SCS ID. Be sure include a self-addressed envelope or mailing label, and sufficient postage for the returns. No pre-dated or pre-printed postage please as they expire. Cash or stamps only accepted; no checks, no predated labels.

StampinGoodDeeds · 10-12-2011, 06:05 AM

Hi Ladies --
Please help me spread the word on this swap and let's get these groups filled up! My +1 cards will be going to various organizations, from the women's shelter, to senior centers, and then to cancer patients and others who have medical problems and need encouragement.
I would love to see us have at least 5 in every group if possible.
I was surprised to see Valentines hadn't filled with any yet!!!
FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD!!!
LOVE ONE ANOTHER!!!
THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE...

So many verses there!!!
