‘do crafts’ and Marie Curie Cancer Care are urging you to join the hundreds of crafters who will be devoting their time and creativity by designing a handmade A6 greeting card for charity.The ‘Create a Card for Cancer Care’ campaign is set to thrive for a third year running in support of Marie Curie Cancer Care but we still need all of your support for 2008!
“This is a perfect opportunity for friends and family alike to get together and share some valuable time whilst creating a handmade greeting card in aid of Marie Curie Nurses” explains ‘do crafts’ designer Katy Godbeer.
‘do crafts’ are providing Marie Curie Cancer Care A6 Card bags in over 500 ‘do crafts’ stockists nationwide to enable crafters to package their finished handmade cards ready to be sold in Marie Curie Cancer Care Shops from February 2008, where they will be available to buy for £1.
From January 1st 2008, people will be able to purchase a beautiful limited edition Papermania Ornate Daffodil Stamp exclusively designed by graphic designer Nick Mercer. The stamp is available for £4.99 RRP with £2.50 from every sale being donated to the charity.
All funds raised will help support Marie Curie Nurses who care for terminally ill people in their own homes, surrounded by the people who matter to them most. Visit http://www.create-a-card-for-cancer-care.org/ for more information on how to support this annual campaign.
Thomas Hughes-Hallett, Chief Executive of Marie Curie Cancer Care, said: “We are thrilled to be working with ‘do crafts’ for a third year. The partnership has been a great success – with more than 5,000 hours of nursing care being funded so far - and we are looking forward to it going from strength to strength in 2008.”
