Last Day to Help Etsy Spread the Love for Valentine's

Last week I shared about Etsy's "Special Delivery" collaborative project with City Meals-On-Wheels. Just a quick reminder that the due date to get the cards to Etsy is coming up on Monday February 2nd. Depending on where you live, (The Etsy folk are in Brooklyn, NY) you might be able to wait until Friday to slip them in the mail. I'll be sending any orders that come through Paper Mango out on Thursday. This is such a great opportunity for all of us to bring a smile to someone's day and is such and easy way to spread the love!

Help Etsy Spread the Love this Valentine's Day

I just heard about the greatest cause that we can all take part in to spread the love this Valentine's Day. Etsy is teaming up with Citymeals-On-Wheels this Valentine's Day to make sure that everyone that receives a hot meal (over 18,000!) through their program also receives a hand made Valentine's Day card. I love it! There are a couple ways that you can get involved with this:

1. Make a card! Bust out the construction paper and markers and let the kids go to town. Get creative your self with some card stock and cute scrapbooking paper.

2. If you're short on time, buy a card from your favorite handmade card seller on Etsy! (*nudge, nudge. wink, wink*) I'll even package it up and send it to it's final destination for you. Just put a little note in your order details and consider it done.

It's really that simple! Just think how much we can brighten up the day of a home-bound elderly person with a simple card. For more details (and there are some very important ones, so please do read them) and the address of where to send your unique creation check out this post on the Etsy blog. If you choose door number 1 I'd love to put up pictures of your card creations on the blog. Send an email to papermango@gmail.com with your pictures attached and I'll put them up.

Now, go spread the love!

Who needs Cupid?

I got amazing responses to the last round of cards I posted over at my Etsy store! I'm hoping to follow that up with a couple more non-traditional "Valentines". Share the "No Cupids Allowed" card with any of your friends who have banned him this year. Or let that special some one know your feelings for them are akin to mold on a lemon. They'll understand.

Enjoy the cards, and don't forget to pick some up here!

"No Cupids Allowed"

"You've Grown On Me"

Celebrate your relationship status!

If your best friend's Facebook status reads "single" or "not dating" or "if you're male don't talk to me", never fear! We're celebrating Singles Awareness Day, right along side that other, more couple related day. Pick up our "Happy Singles Awareness Day" card in the Etsy store starting Sunday January 18th. {Remember the blog folks are getting a sneak peek at our new designs!} I'll also be uploading the "Love, Love, Love Bird" card featured below.

The blog this week will feature a few more new designs as well as an update on "The Office Project". See you then!

And we're baaaaack!

There's nothing like the start of a new year to inspire you to spend time organizing, restructuring and designing. Sorry for the long hiatus, but it was great to have some space to refocus and create. And now I'm baaaack (thank you Jimmy Fallon) with some fresh picked Valentines & Singles Awareness Day cards. I'll be rolling them out at the Etsy store over the next week or so, but all of you faithful blog readers will get the first look here! So if you haven't subscribed to the blog yet, now is the time! Just check out those links on the top right of the page. Now, what we've all been waiting for, the first cards of 2009!
