Mother's & Father's Day Cards for the Troops
Due April 15th and June 1st
This year Mother's Day is May 9th and Fathers Day is June 20th. Scrapbook Royalty is again collecting handmade Mother's & Father's Day cards to send to the military men and women overseas. We want them to receive them in time for them to send home to their loved ones so all Mother's Day cards need to be received by April 15th and Father's Day cards no later than June 1st!

Please send your handmade cards to:

Scrapbook Royalty

***Nominate a Unit to Receive Cards***

You can contact us at info@scrapbookroyalty.org to nominate a unit overseas. We need an address to ship and US contact information, how many people are in their unit and we will fill as many requests as possible. Please note this will be first come first served.

***Greeting Cards for Troops Guidelines***

We have been very successful for the past three years in collecting handmade Holiday greeting cards from around the country and donating them to units that make sure these cards reach actual military serving overseas. They were so appreciative to have these cards to write in and send messages home to family and friends during the holidays. So we would like to do the same thing with Mother's Day and Father's Day cards.

Below are some photos of the 3000 cards we received from past holiday seasons.

So once again and we need your help! We will get these cards distributed to the hard working men and women overseas defending our country. We are sending the cards directly to the troops ourselves so that gives us a bit more time to get them made and sent over. A simple handmade card, blank inside, will do just perfectly. We need to receive the cards with envelopes by April 15th for Mother's Day cards and no later than June 1st for Father's Day cards, so we have time to mail them to the units over seas and they will have time to mail them home.

Here are some tips for getting a few cards made for the soldiers:

  • Create a few extra cards as you make your own--for example, for every 3 cards you make for yourself, make one card to donate.
  • Use your scraps from old layouts and cards (cuz I know you're still saving them) to create a few cards. This way you can also take part in some guilt free shopping afterwards when you buy this year's hottest papers.
  • Go buy that new paper and just have fun creating some cards for the soldiers with it.
  • Ask your friends to help. If you're having a crop or go to one at a store, ask everyone to take 5 minutes to create one card.
  • Have the kids help. Scout troops love doing these kinds of activities. Set up the supplies assembly line style and get everyone to pitch in.
  • Buy a kit--some stores and consultants sell card kits--just buy one and assemble all the cards and send them to us for the troops.
  • Take a class. Ask the instructor if you can buy extra cards or kits to make the assembly easy.
  • If you are a consultant hold a card-making party! Have your guests make one card for themselves and one for the troops as part of your demonstration.
