Cards for Max!
On Facebook This morning, I recieved an event invite to make a card for “Mighty” Max Low of Neola, Ia., Who began battling leukemia shortly after he started kindergarten in 2004.
Today he’s a 12-year-old sixth grader, still battling away at Children’s Hospital; Medical Center in Omaha. And he’s probably receiving more get well cards on a daily basis than anybody else on the planet. Heres the whole story.
When a friend suggested "Wouldn't it be cool to get a million cards in the mail" Max agreed and word of mouth spread and spread...
I wanted to do something cooler than just a regular card, and went back to my old favorites on etsy to find a pop up card shop i had favorited months ago - Easy Cut Pop Up. Heres my card for Max! sending today with some of my True Star Magazines, I used my own textured papers, and added a couple little extras. (bird, bunny, and words)
Heres the shops website also EASY CUT POP UP
Easy Cut Pop-ups are printable pop-up card patterns. Just download, print, cut, fold and assemble. Then watch them take form before your eyes. It’s more than just a greeting card, it’s handmade art you share with someone special. It’s fun, it’s easy and best of all, you can make them again and again and again!
All cards are headed for this address:
Mighty Max Low
P.O. Box 111
Neola, IA 51559
