Any Hero Cards

I try to write a few 'Any Hero' notes to include in every box of cards I ship to OWH. I admit that writing a note to someone I don't know and have never met isn't always the easiest thing for me to do but after I have, I am always glad I did and it helps to crystalize for me just how much these heroes sacrifice for all of us. 


 A few times a year I dedicate a crafting session or two to making Any Hero cards so that I always have some ready to go when I need them. I got both of these digis free and pre-colored from the very talented and generous Nikki at Melonheadz Illustrating. If you haven't yet discovered her blog I promise that you're in for a treat.


Keep in mind that unlike the cards we send to heroes for them to write home on, Any Hero cards do not have to be hand-crafted. If you'd like ot write some cards but don't know where to start you can visit the OWH site for help, guidelines and even free coloring pages for the kids!

Happy Crafting Everyone!

these are both great cards, and I too struggle with writing any hero cards. These sentiments are the perfect way to start!

Pretty cards! That's a great idea to dedicate a couple of card making sessions to Any Hero cards. I'm enjoying your blog :)

Hi Paula! It's fun to see how you used Nikki's pre-colored digis. I love that she makes them available in both colored and not colored! I also love your idea of setting aside some time to "stockpile" AnyHero cards.

Thanks for sharing these cards Paula! I am in the midst of creating a nice stack of blank Any Hero cards to take to a crop on May 14 to have available for the other ladies to sign. I will definately be heading over to Nikki's blog and using these two digis - don't know how I missed them before!
