Lightbulb Let's make cards for charity.

There are so many cardmakers on the CUP site now and a thought struck me, there's a few of you who make cards for charity, why don't we do a CUP charity card make? Every month all cardmakers who wish to take part make 1 card, 1 member of CUP either cardmaker or designer picks a charity of their choice, we then all send a made card to that cardmaker or designer, or the CUP team if they'd be willing to help, so that the cards can then be sold and monies raised sent to the charity, or even send the cards to the charity, each month someone different picks a charity and we all make another card. We could then all do our bit to help these charities raise some funds and show off our cardmakng skills at the same time, put our creative talents to good use. If any of you are interested reply to this post saying you'd like to get involved. TC Diane xx

At the moment I don't know as I'm waiting to see if others want to join in, shouldn't see there being problems with any size Diane xx

Count me in Diane, I'm afraid I won't be able to do much until end of June, what with the house sitting, etc but I thinks it's a lovely idea.

Thanks ladies, phew some interest, was thinking no-one would take part, okay so we now have a few on board but it would be great if there were more, I was thinking the more makers , the more cards, the more money for charity, lets just give it a couple of weeks, see who's interested and then take it from there, then we'll kick off by picking the 1st charity to make cards for and watch their funds grow, hopefully. Thanks for adding your names to list girls xx Diane xx

Thumbs up Me too!

Hi Diane,

I also make cards for my local cats protection branch so I will be more than happy to make more cards for other charities too.

Just keep me informed and I will get going!

Hi Diane, I would like to make some cards for you as well, but not really bothered about deciding on what charity they go to. I am quite happy to stand back from that but willing to do some cards for you.
