send some love, send some hope, send a (free!) card

We’re delighted to let you know about a cool project—Hope is in the Cards—started by a fellow designer, Russ Haan. It’s a simple effort to spread some good vibes in these vibrationally-challenged times.. one person to another, via good old-fashioned snail mail. The idea is to get millions of individuals to send one greeting card each—to a friend, relation, or colleague—to express a simple positive message. Maybe it’s love. Could be encouragement. Perhaps it’s support, thanks, or admiration. The uplifting specifics are up to you!

Many greeting card companies and retailers are supporting Hope is in the Cards by giving away free stamps and/or cards to customers during Week of Hope, September 1-7. Our friends at Cardstore.com are giving away the cards AND the stamps. They have put together a collection of 50 designs in a special “Hope Collection” (including Amy's sweet-talkin' penguins, above, and a few other f13 beauties!).

You can see the Cardstore.com Hope Collection here.
Enter the code SENDHOPE at checkout. This will cover the entire cost of one card, including postage (anywhere in the world).

We hope this movement ignites a year-round passion for spontaneous expressions of love, support, thanks and encouragement. Imagine the power of that!

Happy sending!

[update : Apparently the response to this offer at Cardstore has been huge! Traffic may be a little slow on their site so be patient and remember, you have until 9/7 to create and send your free card.]
