Thank You Cards

A big thank you to those that have sent their unused greeting cards to us for repurposing. We have received cards in just about every category and have forwarded them on to non-profit organizations that have requested them.

We do want to thank S. Knighton from Newton, NC and L. Nix from Washington, DC, as well as all of those who have sent packages anonymously or with just their return address but no name included.

If you could use any of our donated cards, let us know how many and in what categories and what organization you represent and we will get them to you. We know holiday cards are great for showing your appreciation to donors, sponsors and volunteers and the season is fast approaching.

Holiday Cards
Again, thanks for your support of the CardsDirect Recycling and Reuse Program.

Congratulations Cards
At CardsDirect we like to support worthy causes. Throughout the year we donate greeting cards to those that can make good use of them. In the past few months we have donated cards to non-profit organizations that support schools, hospitals, animal adoptions, substance abuse facilities, prison ministries, and, of course, our troops.

Now that it is time for spring cleaning, I bet there are items you can donate as well. Take a look around your home or office. Your trash may be someone else’s treasures. For example, an organization called The Care Bags Foundation can use your leftover happy meal toys or mini shampoos and soaps from your hotel visits. Homeless shelters use these too.

Perhaps your office has promotional items that were never put to use. These could be donated to someone who would appreciate them. And don’t forget that a donation of your time is always needed somewhere. Grab a few co-workers and make it a team effort.

Spring is a great time to get out and get involved. How do you or those in your office donate their time, products or energy?

If you’re in advertising and marketing at Sterling Cooper you absolutely know the importance of staying connected with your clients.

Their real name is printed on the back of the card along with the charity of their choosing. Proceeds from the sales of their selected design go to the charity of their choice.

Kellan Lutz
Kellan Lutz plays Emmett Cullen, big brother of vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) in the movie, Twilight. A participating celebrity in our Cards for a Cause holiday card charity campaign, Kellan signed the back of his chosen card design with proceeds from the sale of it going to his selected charity, the Royal Family Kids’ Camp.

This is the card design he chose:
Holiday Photo Card PC6566
In November 2008, before the movie released, Kellan confessed in an interview his interests in autographs. “His autograph is elaborate, with each letter fully formed,” said the article. “I like signatures,” confessed Lutz. “I remember growing up just having fun doing it for no reason. I liked practicing.”

Back then he would actually spell out his name, “unlike Robert Pattinson who takes a shortcut by just signing his initials,” claims the article. But Lutz did admit that he knew he’d be doing conventions and events eventually which would require him to sign a minimum of 600 and “wow, it took me an hour to do 50. So I might have to get creative.”

Well, I kinda like his autograph! Take a look at it here and see what you think!

Ricky Gervais
Ricky Gervais visited our table at the HBO Luxury Lounge and chose an exclusive CardsDirect photo holiday card to benefit his charity of choice, the ASPCA. Mr. Gervais wanted to share a photo card with a picture of a cat on it to honor his new pet, but one wasn’t readily available. He can, however, upload his own cat photo for a very special photo holiday card, just as you can too!

Pets are special all year long but especially loved during the holidays. Remember to include them in your family holiday photo or feature them all by themselves! This photo holiday card design Mr. Gervais chose to support will result in a donation to the ASPCA through our Cards for a Cause program

Here are a few more examples to help you visualize how your pet might be included in your holiday photo cards once you send us your favorite pet image.

Will you include your pet on your holiday cards this year? Any tips on how to make them say, “cheese”?

American Idol
Are you missing American Idol as much as I am? There are dancing shows all over the television but sadly, the singers are surprisingly quiet. I’ve heard Simon Cowell just turned 50 and had quite a grand birthday bash. Idol news is that Paula Abdul is out and Ellen DeGeneres is in which should be fun!

Meanwhile, Kara DioGuardi can be seen on our CardsDirect.com website!
Kara DioGuardi
She has chosen a holiday photo card to sponsor with proceeds from the sale of this card design going to Phoenix House, the charity Kara chose. Her autograph is even on the back of the card! This is her selected card design:
Holiday Photo Card PC6538

So, until the show returns this January, guess it will just be me, singing at the top of my lungs and wishing I had the voice of an Idol winner!
