Marion Barr, 'do crafts' member set 21 girls at 1st Bantaskine Guides in Falkirk a challenge for the 'Create a Card for Cancer Care' Campaign.

Each patrol were given a bag with blank cards, envelopes, some die cuts, peel offs, glue stick and 3d sticky foam squares and had a table set up with scrap book papers, sticky ribbons, gems and other embelishments.

The girls then got right to it and started making thier hand made cards for the campaign. Well done girls and thanks for all your help!

Inspirational Stories

2008-01-15T18:51:00.000Z

Have you read the inspirational stories that have come from the Marie Curie Cancer Care Nurses?

I found these a real eye opener and until l started working on this campaign l never really fully understood the work that they do.

“I just totally believe that at the end of someone’s life they should be given the best, to be in their own surroundings, surrounded by their family and given care and understanding… its about giving people dignity and choice.”

Wendy Turner Backs Campaign!

TV presenter Wendy Turner is lending her support to the ‘Create a Card for Cancer Care’ campaign.

Marie Curie Nurses care for terminally ill people in their own homes, where they can be with the people they love the most. My home and family are so very important to me, which is why I am supporting the vital and wonderful work that Marie Curie Nurses do.

Why not take part in the ‘Create a Card for Cancer Care’ campaign, and spend some time making a card to help terminally ill people live their final days with dignity at home?”

Hi everybody,

Welcome and Happy New Year to you all!

The 'Create a Card for Cancer Care' campaign has kicked off and launched on 1st January 2008! This is the third year of running it and we want it to be bigger and better than previous years and hope that you can help us in achieving that.

As part of the campaign we provide free A6 card bags for you to package your handmade cards for them to then be sold for £1 within Marie Curie stores nationwide.

Unfortunately the free A6 Greetings Card Bags are not going to be available within 'do crafts' stockists or Marie Curie stores until the 17th January 2008. Please do keep a look out for them...they are a brand new design with a new gorgeous orange theme!

Why not get a head start and make some cards for the 'Create a Card for Cancer Care' campaign ready to be sent to us for when you have the free A6 Card bags!?

Don't forget we would love to see your cards that you produce so why not try uploading them to the Supporters of the Create a Card Campaign gallery album on http://www.docrafts.co.uk/

Good Luck!

‘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.”
