I need to go back and read the details, are we mailing directly to cards for heroes or to you erin?
I went through other cards I had done for challenges, and made 4 last night. I have 15 cards ready to go!! Need to make envelopes tho. I'm hoping to have these done by end of weekend!! |

| aunt e |
Let's mail directly to them. See the site link below or read below for info on the envelopes. Also see the link before and look to the left for mailing addresses. For more details, please see: http://cardsforheroes.org/ship/ From Cards for Heroes: "Are there packing instructions I should follow?" We'll receive your cards in any way you are able to pack them, but there are a few things that would help if you're willing and able: Pack your cards securely. Our shippers do check each card to make sure nothing has fallen off or needs repair, but the more we can help the PO deliver cards safely, the better. Remove any plastic sleeves; we don't send those over so as not to generate trash for our service members to have to deal with. Sort by type if you'd like (holiday, thank you, birthday, love, missing you, etc). It's not necessary but it can be a help! If you're able, stamp the backs of your cards with our web address (some folks use labels or handwrite our URL on them). You can order an acrylic stamp made by Imagine Stamps, or use another company you'd like to use. Email info@cardsforheroes.org for a black-and-white logo you can have a stamp made from, or you can use text and not the logo. Send envelopes for any card that is not an A-2, unless you email the shipper to ask if they have the right size to match with your cards. Most of the shippers have a random selection of other sizes, so you might not have to send any for oddsized cards. (We rarely have square envelopes, so please try to include envelopes for those.) Include a packing slip (download it using the link at left) or write your contact info on a piece of paper inside the package. |

I will give it a try Erin!! I don't know if I can get all 25 cards done by the 31st. But, who cares if I get 1 or 25 done anyways right? I'm sure any about helps. It's for the heros and not about the gift cert.!! | ||
| aunt e |
Exactly! And, if you don't get them all done by the 31st the soldiers still get some great cards.  That was just my "deadline".
|
||
| aunt e |
Bump! Ladies, you can do this. The cards can even be all the same and can be simple! Please help support the trips! | ||
| lisa9er |
I do think I'm up to 25, just need to ship!! | ||
