I'm excited about Earth Day 2021!
So far, I have sent over 50 S.A.G.E cards out into the world, and I'm really happy to report that everyone I've sent a card to or have told about my project to make greeting cards much more sustainable, has been so accepting of and into the idea and concept of sharing my SAGE cards multiple times!
It's a small accomplishment I realize, but it feels really good to make even a small change, and I believe it just takes one person with an idea, and if more people tell others, and continue to share and re-share my SAGE cards, and I continue to send more and more out into the world, maybe it will catch on, and just maybe it won't be such a small thing after a while.
I make all my SAGE cards using recycled materials, re-purposed packaging, along with papercraft and art supplies I buy retail, and whatever else I find around my studio. I make my cards sturdy so they can stand up to being shared and re-shared multiple times. I never make the same card twice. Each card is unique, hand crafted, and I think of each one as a small piece of art.
Sturdy, Sustainable, Shareable, Sage cards… share a smile!
How to Participate in the S.A.G.E. Project:
Join the quest to reduce, re-use, recycle, and re-Share!
This unique handcrafted greeting was made specifically to share multiple times - Like a travelling mini Art Show!
Here’s How!
- Don’t write directly on the card itself - Just use the enclosed inside sheet(s) to write your personal message.
- include the extra inside sheets, extra envelope, instruction card/sheet for future shares.
- Then address and apply postage if mailing, and you have just made a Difference! Thank You!
When you receive a S.A.G.E. card, keep it for as long as it serves you, then use the above instructions to send it to the next person to enjoy, the cycle continues. Sending a SAGE card, is a tangible way to bring a caring message to friends and family, and help us all to feel more connected, and feel good that we are making a difference.
