ORGANIZATION BEING FEATURED: Operation Quiet Comfort (Carolina Shores, NC)
DESCRIPTION: Quiet Comfort exists to provide physical and emotional support to America’s military men and women while they are serving in harm’s way. We also provide support to those who care for them.
TYPE OF CARDS REQUESTED: Thank You, Thinking of You, Patriotic, anything cheerful and bright that will encourage, just a cheerful hello or thanking the service member for their service or telling them what an inspiration they are to you, even something along the lines of "You have made us proud". Also thank you cards for the medical staff who care for the sick and injured soldiers is welcome.
Additional Information:No envelopes.
SPECIAL RESTRICTIONS: Please do not use any glitter or puffy paint or anything that could fall off into an open wound. Please do not include envelopes. Also, these are not get well cards - keep them positive, cheerful, and bright - and do not refer to war or injury or anything that could remind the service member of their past experiences.
Above, it doesn’t sound like we need to write in these cards. However, from what I read on their website, it sounds as though our card insides should have a personal message written in them and be signed by us. Should the thank you cards include some kind of signed written message as well? Or do we send cards with no personal message as we usually do and someone else uses the cards to write a message? Thanks for clarifying.
I have been wanting to use this Special Thank You stamp set from Hero Arts that came in the SCT Crop & Create Delivered Cardmaking event box of goodies last fall. Jennifer McGuire did a special video with it. It is great for using up scraps and since I had organized mine during the last Totally Tiffany Get Organized Challenge, I had mine together and could easily pull a bunch.
Last weekend I spent one night just cutting up a bunch of the strips (2.5 inches wide, heights vary from .25 inches to 1 inch or so). The next night I was assembling a bunch but when I went to clean up, I discovered I had one of the top fold (tent) card bases facing upside down when I glued on the strips. Thank goodness I only did it on one. I'll fix it by cutting the top off and gluing to another card so it won't be wasted. I finished 8 cards (I'm a slow crafter) but I want to add some additional details too. Happy with the progress though. I have lots of strips and about 10 more stamped sentiments (some with Hero instead of Nurse) left to use.

I mailed a box of cards on Wednesday. I made 80 and my little crafting buddies, ages 5, 8, and 10 made 8 cards. All had handwritten messages inside. That’s the more challenging part for me. 😉
I hope I haven't missed anyone. I appreciate all the beautiful cards received. Everyone puts so much effort and care into their cards. Thank you! Thank you! Our troops appreciate each and every card they receive.
