Hi everyone, we’re so excited to be partnering this summer with Operation Write Home for today's Stampede/blog hop extraordinaire! OWH is a nonprofit that sends beautiful handmade cards to our service members so that they can write home to their families. Isn’t that just the best? There’s no Hallmark store in the desert, so this is a pretty important gift we can give them as crafters!
Our In My Heart set was inspired by the mission of OWH; we know that many of those serving overseas have little kiddos at home that they write to. So we designed cute little kids and sentiments to express just how much those little folks are missed! The drawings are done in such a way that they can be adapted to different ethnicities too, making this a really flexible set. We’ll be donating 20% of the proceeds of In My Heart stamp sets sold on our retail site from now until July 31st - we really want to help them fundraise for all their efforts!
We also know you’ll want to join in on the mission to serve the troops - be sure you visit the OWH website and read all the guidelines carefully….you’ll learn about why glitter is dangerous to send, so leave the stickles behind when making cards for heroes! Lots more information is available on their Welcome page - tons of questions are answered there! And they have a fun YouTube show each weekday with project info, tutorials, and more - check it out HERE.
Here's my card for the hop.. simple and straightforward, so easy to color them!
