Vendor deals we are grateful for:

Imagine Stamps: Custom acrylic stamps
Rebecca at Imagine Stamps has the artwork for these cardsforheroes.org stamps shown below! If you’d like to order any for yourself, go to her website and email her to ask for whichever one you’d like, what your name is if you’d like to have the ones with a name, and she’ll email you the cost. It is much more reasonable than you’d imagine!

Agape Gifts: 10% discount on stamps!
Sandy R at Agape Gifts on eBay will give a 10% discount to customers who tell her they’re for cardsforheroes! She carries those awesome military stamps from Paper Inspirations as well as a great selection of all sorts of stamps.

Moulding Frame Supply Liquidators: ATG tape deal
An ebay seller, Moulding Frame Supply Liquidators (also comes through on ebay as Ty Products) has ATG tape at a really reasonable price (six 36ft rolls of 1/2 inch tape for $9.99) — if you purchase more than one box of 6, they give you a great break on shipping, so email the seller from the ebay site to let him know it’s for the cardsforheroes project.

Patriotic fabric swatches
If you’d like some fabric for making patriotic cards, send an email (link at right), and we’ll hook you up with Cheryl who saves the leftover pieces from projects she regularly creates. Fabric is a challenge for cardmaking, but it adds nice texture!

Got thanks to share?
We’d love to pass on the gratitude for donations, discounts, & deals, cardmaking help, hosts of parties/classes—whatever makes it possible for you to do more for our heroes. Email us with your kudos!
