Cardmaking for Charities is something we can all do to raise money for a worthy cause.
Maybe it is something you may like to consider. A way to put to good use, all the cards that you have, and may just have stored away in boxes!!
What do you do with them all? Give them to friends and family? Sell them? Donate them to your church, hospital, hospice or social group?
Or just keep them stashed away because you don't know what to do with them.
In building this website I make lots of cards.
I buy the product I want to use, or try the fold I am featuring, or use the template I am adding to the pages, and I make several of one design in the process.
Over the months I end up with a lot of cards. But I don't keep them hidden away, I put them to good use, by sending them to charities.
Some of these organisations will sell my creations to raise money for their own cause.
Some of these organisations will sell my creations to raise money for their own cause.
Some will be used by people who cannot get cards, wherever they are.
Others will be sent to people, especially children, to make a difference to their day.
And yet others will be used to raise funds for research.
Below are some I personally support when cardmaking for charities, and maybe you would like to take a look.
Donnas Dream House
This is an English charity, and it's aim is to give a holiday to a sick child, accompanied by their families, free of charge.
One of their ways to raise money to support the charity is to sell cards and as they are based in Blackpool that is where I take a lot of my cards .
Their website tells you all about how the "Dream House" came about.
Maybe you have cards that they can use, for any occasion or theme.
Make sure that you pack them in a cellophane bag to keep them clean and complete with the envelope too.
British Heart Foundation
This is a charity that I support and they have shops all around the country that are always willing to take and sell your cards to raise money for research.
I take mine to the local shop and I make sure that each has an envelope to it and is in a cellophane wrap to keep it clean.
And even if you aren't cardmaking for charities you can still play a part to help this worthwhile charity.
Just by clicking this link to their website you will given lots of information to help yourself or some one else in this unenviable position.
It costs you nothing to find out ... just a little bit of your time.
One click with the mouse and you can make such a difference to your own or another persons life.
There are lots of Other Ways To Give on their website ... please take a look
These are just some of the Charities that will use your creative talents.
If you know of others that you support, please tell me a little bit about them, and maybe I can add them to this page.
