Growing a community of card-mailers, not just card-makers. #MailItMonday
Welcome to Mail It Monday! We are a growing community of card-makers, working on encouraging one another to become better at card-mailing. We are all passionate about sending cards because we know that when we do we are adding love, kindness, and much-needed positivity to the world.
You will find us on Instagram at @MailItMonday.
We would love for you to join us!
How it works:
Every Monday on Instagram, Mail It Monday makes a post as a reminder to mail cards. Mail them on Monday, or any day of the week. The reminder is simply to mail cards.
When you post a card you have made on Instagram, in the text, use the hashtag #MailItMonday, that way, people can find you. When we all use the hashtag, we can encourage one another in our card-making and card-mailing. The hashtag is also a way to virtually "meet" other people who are passionate about the same things. Its a wonderful way to make new friends and to create a circle of people to mail cards to.
The Ultimate Inspiration Calendar for Card-Mailers 2020:
Each month a FREE downloadable calendar is available. The calendar marks national "days" of the year. Ranging from serious, to standard holidays, to downright silly days, the calendar is a source of inspiration. Use the days to remind you of a stamp set that would be perfect to use. The celebration may remind you of a friend who needs a card and happy mail.
The calendar is available at the beginning of the month. It is a FREE download that can be used digitally or printed.

Card Drives:
As often as we find them (and check their legitimacy) we post card drives on Instagram. We also try and share organizations that are card-based. Giving you many opportunities to send cards to those in need.

Thank you for the calendar. I’m going to try to share it with my nephew each month. He’ll enjoy all the weird and wonderful days, like Bubblewrap Appreciation Day :D
