4th of July: Cards for the Troops

It seems I'm always stumbling upon new things, things I did not know about and since I'm determined to be the best Marine girlfriend that I can be I read it all :0

Who doesn't love mail? there is a certain "thing" about opening a letter that I can't replace with the electronic mail.

In my search of the "free" I came across some webpages offering free cards for the military, but when tried to used them they didn't seem effective: either they took too much time or they wanted some "payment" method even though they claimed to be free.

The truth is that by the time I was going to write this (last year :s) there were a couple of options but since the country is transitioning out of war (thanks God) the "free" part went away.

So I found this for you, it will enquire some sort of labor on your end haha but hey! military men love it.

  1. Thank You for Your Service.  A printable. I will send one to my Marine, this one is simple but elegant and says it all.  You can find it at laura frances design blog. Just make sure you print it in a good quality paper.
  2. Real Heroes.  A printable. You can find it at Happy Got Lucky.
  3. 4th of July.  A printable. Find them at Greeting Island. By far the best ones, not comparing to the other printable I gave you but with the whole other webpages, that weren't many.
  4. You could also check on my pinterest board, it has some great ideas on DIY cards.  I keep it updated so you always get new stuff to try. Get it here DIY Military Cards.

You could find other webpages but the cards were kind of tacky, and of course, there are the ones you get for money...but we are not there yet right? 

Hope you have fun with this, and let me know if you tried any!

Love,

Honey.
